The U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Conference and the American Jewish Committee have published a new version of a glossary of antisemitic rhetoric annotated with the Catholic perspective on each definition.
The move is part of an effort to “continue building bridges and combat antisemitism”.
Last week, the two organisations announced the release of Translate Hate: The Catholic Edition, which deals with antisemitic terms, phrases, conspiracies, cartoons, themes, and memes with supporting analysis from Catholic thought.
The USCCB said the resource “paves the way for deeper and wider cooperation in a shared commitment to eradicating antisemitism at a time when recent events have challenged Catholic-Jewish relations.”
Bishop Joseph Bambera of Scranton noted that the rise of antisemitic incidents both globally and in the United States are a reminder that there is more work to be done.
