Israel’s clergy sent to the Vatican request to clarify the statements of Pope Francis about Jewish sacred books, reports Reuters. The phrase appeared to them seemed: “Torah does not give life.”
During the public speech of Dad, arguing about the words of St. Paul about Torah in the New Testament, said: “However, the law (Torah) does not give life … He does not give hope … seeking to life need to look for promises and its manifestations in Christ,” Writes “Kommersant”,
In the day of the Rabbi, Rabbar Aruci, head of the Commission of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel on Dialogue with the Holy Throne, sent a letter to Rome asking for clarification. In his opinion, Francis’s words can hint that the Jewish laws were outlined.
Vatican representatives told Reuters that learn the letter and reflect on a possible answer.
