HEADLINE: How Not To Fight Right-Wing Anti-Semitism by Rod Dreher

FROM THE ARTICLE – The Heritage Foundation held a big staff meeting yesterday with its chief, Kevin Roberts, who apologized to them all for his ill-advised video last week. There were Q&As. In them, a young Catholic staffer named Evan Myers noted that some Jews are asking Heritage to host Shabbat dinners and invite staff. Myers said that for him, attending a Shabbat dinner would be a violation of his religious conscience. He said he assumes that attendance won’t be required, but he fears that they will be used as “an informal litmus test” to weed out anti-Semites.

John Daniel Davidson on X: Many Catholics keep the traditional practice of fasting or abstinence on Fridays as a penitential practice in remembrance of Christ’s Passion on Good Friday. So yeah, there is something in Catholic teaching that might preclude some Catholics from attending a Shabbat dinner, besides conscience considerations. But you’d have to be at least a little familiar with Catholic teaching and tradition to know that.

• Myers raises is a symbol of one way of handling them — and a bad one It stands to breed resentment in Christians who, for whatever reason, feel that they can’t participate in good conscience, but who are afraid they will get tarred with the “anti-Semite” smear if they don’t.
