Hebrew Catholics

Hebrew Catholics (In modern Israeli Hebrew עברים קתולים Ivrím Qatholím) are a movement of Jews converted to the faith of the Roman Catholic Church. The phrase was coined by Father Elias Friedman, OCD (1987) who was himself a converted Jew. They keep Jewish traditions in the light of Roman Catholic doctrine.

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or catholics:

    A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 18:19.

    Our whole walk was through a thoroughly Catholic country, and there was no trace of any other religion. I doubt if there are any more simple and unsophisticated Catholics anywhere.
