My Way News - US Jews protest Catholic document on salvation
My Way News reports: "The statement fueling the tension was issued by the bishops in June to clarify a 2002 document called 'Covenant and Mission.' The bishops said the earlier document mistakenly played down the importance of sharing the Gospel and was therefore misleading. 'While the Catholic Church does not proselytize the Jewish people, neither does she fail to witness to them her faith in Christ, nor to welcome them to share in that same faith whenever appropriate,' said Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, Conn., chairman of a bishops' committee on doctrine."
