Joe Paterno Was Punished Enough By Having To Suffer Death...
Westboro Baptist Church does not need to add to what Joe Paterno suffered for his crimes of accomplice. Joe Paterno suffered enough on this Earth, and only G-d knows what Joe Paterno is suffering on the other side. Westboro, like everyone else, should accept that Joe Paterno had and has been no more and no less punished than he needed and needs to be.
What I Want For My 22nd Birthday: DNA Tests From Male Relatives To Check For Kohein, Etc. Markers
I'm pushing the envelope & asking as male members as possible for DNA tests on my birthday. I want to know
at least whether I'm a kohenet (female descendant of Aharon ben-'Amram v'Yokheved, v'HaKohein). Any
male descendants, please get your DNA checked for Jewish-- especially kohein-- markers for our common
lineages if you can.
On a side note, Kevin-- even though we don't share the Levshiks in common as far as we know--, you won't
be able to find the Levshik connection in the mtDNA; since Jewish women don't have Jewish DNA
(Remember that DNA of any ethnic sort gets passed down only in the Y-DNA). Thank G-d, we were able to
use that your Levit relative used the common device (the Levi surname variant) to establish that she was a bat-
Levi.

Who's Worse: The Sinner or the Enabler Thereof (And Also A Sinner)?
Having gone through abuse (though never sexual abuse), I have to wonder who's worse between the to-be-late (and justly punished) JoePa or the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky (who got off in this life only because of "Coker" (1977), "Kennedy" (2008), and JoePa and other child-molester enablers). JoePa is the enabler of the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky, and Jerry Sandusky is clearly the sinner who is (or rather, was) enabled. Compared to my dad's and grandparents' enablers regarding me, JoePa is the sexual-abuse equivalent regarding the Jerry Sandusky victims.
Meanwhile, a Biblical equivalent of my dad's enablers (including my dad's mother in law) and of Joe Paterno includes the Corinthian community of Messianic Jews who allowed a young Jewish Corinthian to sleep with his stepmother:
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named[a] among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! 2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.[b]
6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.[c] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly didnot mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”[d]
Were Paterno correctly handled in the American legal system, he would've been just as my dad's enablers legally should be and the Jewish Corinthians Biblically were: accomplices. Paterno can be thankful that he escaped justice in the short term, however, because he wasn't prosecuted legally. Being prosecuted Biblically is enough for him.
As I said, meanwhile, I have to wonder who is worse: the sexually and otherwise immoral, such as Jerry Sandusky; or the "puffed up" such as Joe Paterno. To sin is one thing; to knowingly enable and even encourage sin is another.

Was Paul allowed to let the enablers get away with what they were doing? Absolutely not:
9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly didnot mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

Only For the Sake of Sandusky's and JoePa's Victims Do I Think That...
Joe Paterno is getting what he deserves. "Coker" (1977) and "Kennedy" (2008) allowed Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno not to die in the electric chair or by lethal injection when the Penn State Scandal eve started going on. At least Joe Paterno is dying surrounded by family and friends, with one last chance to confess and repent as well as inform on whatever he needs to inform on regarding Sandusky-- including what he's still held back.
As for Jerry Sandusky's and Joe Paterno's then-child, now-adult victims; they don't get any chance at anything-- their lives are indefinitely ruined. In fact, you would know that at least two of Sandusky's and JoePa's victims faced backlash and otherwise the opposite of support if you paid attention to the news. As Joe Paterno gets his Lat Rites, by the way, may he learn what these very words mean:
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8 NKJV
JoePa and Jerry Sandusky reaped death and destruction for those then-child, now-adult victims (among whom is one young adult who was one of the two aforementioned victims of backlash). JoePa is now facing death, and who knows with Jerry Sandusky?

Not That I'm Self Exalting, But...
I'm just as "what you see is what you get" as Geraldo Rivera. I don't hide ish (pun highly intended. If you don't understand what "ish" is in Hebrew and is in English, Google it.). I criticize even my own family and the most central member in the family (next to G-d) to me-- me. I know me as well as I know me, and know me better than I know anyone else. But even G-d knows me better than I know me.
By the way, you have a problem if you're not the most central member of your family (next to G-d) to you. Who are you if you don't know who you are and why you are who you are? For example, I thought that I was a Dark Irish, German-French, Polish-Lithuanian-Czechoslovakian American before I knew that I'm an Anusit-- or was an Anusit. Now because I'm not a Crypto Jew and I even know that I'm a Jew in the first place, I can confidently be a Patrilineally-Jewish Messianic Jew with Ashkenazic Jewish- (hold your breath) Polish-Russian, Polish-Ukrainian-Russian, perhaps Lithuanian-Belorussian, Slovakian-Hungarian, Slovakian-Austrian-Hungarian, and Slovakian-Russian blood (I warned you to hold your breath. I just gave you a long list of the Ashkenazic Jewish blood that I have.).
As for the gentile blood (I think, though some could very well be Jewish blood); it's a long list, too. Want the list? E-mail me or comment on this blog. The list is as extensive and contains just as much information that you might need. By the way, where are relatives e-mailing me? Also by the way, ain't that fun that I'm probably related to Kirk Douglas (nee Issur Danielovich)? (I was being sarcastic about the "fun" part. Having Jack Czarnecki, Mary Gaydos, and Mia Danilowicz-- among others-- as relatives is enough.)

Non-Evangelical Catholicism Even Inadvertently Admits That It's Not Christianity
Google "Catholicism and fundamentalism". For example, the Catholics admit that they don't believe in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, and that do so is "fundamentalist" in a derogatory sense according to Catholicism. The Catholics even criticize Evangelical Catholics:
"Fundamentalism is a relatively new brand of Protestantism started in America that has attracted a tremendous following, including many fallen away Catholics. How did this popular movement originate? The history of Fundamentalism may be viewed as having three main phases. The first lasted a generation, from the 1890s to the Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925. In this period, Fundamentalism emerged as a reaction to liberalizing trends in American Protestantism; it broke off, but never completely, from Evangelicalism, of which it may be considered one wing. In its second phase, it passed from public view, but never actually disappeared or even lost ground. Finally, Fundamentalism came to the nation’s attention again around 1970, and it has enjoyed considerable growth.
"What has been particularly surprising is that Catholics seem to constitute a disproportionate share of the new recruits. The Catholic Church in America includes about a quarter of the country’s inhabitants, so one might expect about a quarter of new Fundamentalists to have been Catholics at one time. But in many Fundamentalist congregations, anywhere from one-third to one-half of the members once belonged to the Catholic Church. This varies around the country, depending on how large the native Catholic population is."
Many of these Evangelical Catholics are Protestants who are Evangelical (Christian) and still Catholic at heart, just Evangelical Catholics and Protestants who would be still Catholic if the Catholic Church were Evangelical. Evangelical Catholics do not like the following criticized by the Catholic Church:
The fundamental doctrines identified in the series can be reduced to five: (I) the inspiration and what the writers call infallibility of Scripture, (2) the deity of Christ (including his virgin birth), (3) the substitutionary atonement of his death, (4) his literal resurrection from the dead, and (5) his literal return at the Second Coming.
Catholics particularly hate the following:
"Although the doctrine of the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible is most commonly cited as the essential cornerstone of the Fundamentalist beliefs, the logically prior doctrine is the deity of Christ. For the Catholic, his deity is accepted either on the word of the authoritative and infallible Church or because a dispassionate examination of the Bible and early Christian history shows that he must have been just what he claimed to be—God.
"Most Catholics, as a practical matter, accept his divinity based upon the former method; many—the apologist Arnold Lunn is a good example—use the latter. In either case, there is a certain reasoning involved in the Catholic’s embrace of this teaching. For many Fundamentalists, the assurance of Christ’s divinity comes not through reason, or even through faith in the Catholic meaning of the word, but through an inner, personal experience."
In other words, Catholics have to lie about what Protestants and Evangelical Catholics believe. Protestants and Evangelical Catholics believe in grace through faith alone, and vice versa, based on what the Bible says. Protestants and Evangelical Catholics do not believe in a New Age "inner, personal experience". And the experience is not personal-- for "there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one."
There is nothing personal in salvation-- one must answer to and be saved by the Spirit. Salvation is not a choice, but an election and calling which all the members of Eloheinu Echad choose to confer on someone-- and thus the saved have no individual choice and are held accountable in regards to salvation:
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses,“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”[f] 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

The blood, by the way, is the witness of and for particularly Jesus; and the water of baptism, and of particularly the Father and the Spirit-- maybe just particularly the Father, though (which is a long discussion).
So the Orientation Went Well, But...
That doesn't mean that there weren't some incidents. I could kvetch about how the orientation went, but a few key incidents and notes:
- The prayers worked, and thanks for the prayers.
- I'm skipping "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8:00 to watch the rerun at 11:00 because I still have other things to do at home-- for example, listen to the daily WABC "Geraldo" broadcast (or in my case, podcast).
- Michelle and I each got a free cup of coffee. Long story short, we were each charged for a full meal at True Grit's. When I saw the $21.00 total charge, I honestly thought that the receipt was someone else's receipt. So, Michelle took it back to the counter, got the policy explained to her, and had them give her the coffee free (which they did on their own initiative because they understood that we didn't know the policy).
- One blog entry that I wrote is in handwriting, and I'll scan it in later.

One Can't Blog About Everything; And I Try To Blog Every Day, So...
I'll try my best just to get a few sentences in. First, I agree with Geraldo Rivera that Paula Deen was entirely disingenuous. Second, the case of the Costa Concordia proves why Europe (including Italy) needs to bring back the death penalty. Third, I'm against SOPA and PIPA, and for the Fair Use Doctrine. Fourth (and in conclusion), I'm really busy because I have an orientation at UMBC tomorrow; and I'll be at UMBC virtually all day, and I'm stressed out about the orientation-- including the idea of having to be there all day, since I can't drive.
Anyway, there's my at-least-once-daily blogging entry. Just pray for me and for the orientation (and preferably the Rapture, especially in this meshuga 'olam), v'l'laila tov.

Why I've Suffered So Much: At Least Partly Because of That Kapo Mary Rusnak Gaydos
I don't exactly remember who Jack Feldman is descended from, by the way; but I begin to suspect more and more that his Chron's-- besides his trief eating-- comes from his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch being a kapo as well. My side (the Fosko-Rusnak-Gaydos side) has been visited for certain:
Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’
I mean, I don't think that we can any more into entering the abyss zone than having four of the five Rusnak-Gaydos children (Grandaunt Mary Ann and Grandma included) being absolutely wicked (The only one who would not be wicked by doing or enabling any wickedness was Grandaunt Helen, who I didn't know was habat tzedekah until after she was gone.), having even some of habnei v'banot shel habat tzedekah take after the bnei-v'banot ra'im (Ashley and Matt, I'll name you as two of them. Shame on you for not acknowledging our Yiddishkeit and Eloheinu v'Elohim Avinu.), and having some of us bnei v'banot suffer abuse which we have not (or at least tried not to have) perpetuated the cycle of.
While I'm on the subject of Matt, by the way, why does he have Spina Bifida? And why do I have Cerebral Palsy? And why does Jack have Chron's (if his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch was indeed also a wicked kapo)?
Deuteronomy 7:13
And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of yourcattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you.
Let me give you a hint: Great-Grandma Gaydos and her zerim sure haven't been blessed:
Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’

Leviticus 21:17-24
New King James Version (NKJV)
17 “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has anydefect, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For any man who has a defect shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, 19 a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, 20 or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch. 21 No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the LORD. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God, both the most holy and the holy; 23 only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profane My sanctuaries; for I the LORD sanctify them.’”
24 And Moses told it to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Hint two:
While we may not be koheinim, let me ask you this: if being one "who has a defect" (including one that results in the said one being "blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, or is a hunchback or a dwarf") is even a (for a lack of a better term) just-because curse to zerim shel Aharon; how likely would you think that any one of those defects could be inflicted even on non koheinim who are or whose predecessors were kapos?
Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’
As I said, by the way, being crippled and being sickened (with me, Matt, and Jack-- if his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch was indeed also a wicked kapo-- included) aren't the only curses which the zerim of the kapo Fosko Rusnaks-- especially those of Mary Rusnak Gaydos-- have had to endure.

So Far, What Seemed Like a Miracle Is a Shattered Dream....
I'm not going to get into what the miracle is, especially if it turns out to be a shattered dream; since (even though I'm a Jewish Christian) I don't want to (for a lack of a better term) jinx any chances of my so-far-shattered dream being what I had thought (or hoped) that it was going to be. To make a long story short; I don't presently have all that I need to fulfill the dream, and I could possibly be being presented with a possibly-false-choice scenario wherein fulfilling my dream and going to college for at least this semester is regarded.
I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for prayer, prayer that (as the Bible says) G-d will provide; though I am much less than many who have been provided for and are being (and/or will be) provided for. I'm not Avraham or Moshe, or so many others who have been provided for. I'm not the starving child in Africa or the sexual-abuse victim (who, in many cases, is-- in a sense-- luckier than I am because he or she suffers so much more here, and gets more sympathy from both Heaven and Earth-- and more reward in Heaven because of his or her suffering. As I've blogged about before, I can't even get sympathy or empathy for what little I've been through in comparison-- in fact, I usually get the opposite. That is, I get the opposite of sympathy and empathy.).
As I said, I'm asking for just prayer, prayer that (as the Bible says) G-d will provide; though I am much less than everyone from Avraham and Moshe, to the starving child in Africa and the sexual-abuse victim. Besides, the fulfillment of my dream may help that I am exalted above those who have abused and hated me, and who even abuse (including ignore) and hate me still.

So I Read A Friend From A Letter, And...
Just pray for me and pray for the friend. To make a long story short, because of my OCD/Anxiety/Depression/unmedicated-mild ADD, possible Aspbeger's, Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy, and "friends" and family either abandoning or even outright abusing me at various points in my life; I realistically have ups and downs, trust issues, etc.. I'm not going to trust everybody (Don't ask; I've already learned not to trust everybody, long story short. There's wisdom in wariness.) and I'm not going to stop speaking the truth (or at least trying to speak the truth) on my family and other people, and religion and other matters.
But from now on, if you abandon or even abuse me, I won't get too mad about it; I'll just let whatever you do against me be your own damned problem. I'll let that I'm so used to being abandoned and abused help me to not even be phased or surprised anymore by any abandonment and abuse that I receive. And as I've told some people; when you need me, I might not be there for you because I might not be able to be-- and then what are you going to do?

I See That Some People Read My Open Letter And...
Removed me on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Good! I don't need you, anyway. As I wrote:
I define Facebook as "Face"book-- meaning that I'm not hiding my face or anything else from you. If I have something not to hide, I don't hide it. I didn't ask you to agree with me on everything, but as I've said, I can back up what I say. If you want to agree to disagree and even not debate, you can choose to keep any reservations to yourself.
I also stated, "I will always back up what I say." That you can't back up your disagreements with me is a shame. You're the kind (at least some of you are the kind) who "have affected me to state, 'At points, if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't be a Christian.'" You don't know how to agree to disagree and still maintain love and friendships-- and you even have the hutzpah to go behind my back to my mom and my sister. What a shame!

The Free Book Finally Came-- This Is Not An Advertisement
I finally got the free book to give away. As I said, "The book is not intended to be returned; so as I said, give
the book to a loved one or loved one's loved one, or an acquaintance or whoever else is Jewish and is curious
about Yeshua if you don't intended to keep it. The book is not meant for gentiles-- they can go to church, or to
the public library, or to more gentile-demographic places to find books about Yeshua for gentiles."
Chosen People Ministries really does prefer that the book is read by Jewish people; though they do state, "We
are expecting, by God's grace, to send out thousands [of copies of Isaiah 53 Explained] to Jews and non-Jews
who need to know the Lord." Just send me your address, and I'll get the book to you or have Chosen People
Ministries send you a copy.

E. Michael Jones Has Ulterior Motives and No Authority To Speak on Modern Judaism or Catholicism
Besides, E. Michael Jones Wikipedia all the fodder that they needed. Firstly, E. Michael Jones is an Anti Semite ad has no authority to speak on Modern Judaism, covering his Anti Semitism with the following:
"Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.[3] In February, 2008, due to a complaint of anti-Semitism from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the School of Architecture at The Catholic University of America cancelled a lecture series in which Jones was scheduled to speak. In an interview with The Washington Times Jones said that he rejected racism in all of its forms, consistent with Catholic teaching[2] and responded to the cancellation in an article in Culture Wars.[4]"
Myself being born into an Anusi (Roman and Byzantine Catholic) and Roman Catholic family, baptized
Anusit and Roman Catholic (since my dad was English Catholic-- Episcopalian-- and is still not open about
his Jewish heritage; and my mom had my sister and me baptized by a Roman Catholic priest who was a
friend of her late Evangelical Catholic, getting-ready-to-leave-Catholicism-when-he-died dad), and raised
Anusit and Episcopalian (and not knowing that I'm Jewish until I was 18); I have more authority to speak on
the issue of both than does E. Michael Jones. As far as I know, Ex-Professor Jones has never pointed to
'Amos 5:21-27 to prove how Modern Non-Messianic Jews both inadvertently and deliberately worship
Sikkut v'Kiyun.
In fact, given how little Catholic are encouraged to read the Bible, especially the first three books of Tanakh
(and the fourth, Hadashah, being so muddied up by Non-Evangelical Catholicism over the years to do
awful works against Yeshua and Paul's own people); E. Michael Jones probably couldn't tell you where
'Amos is located in Tanakh-- whether in the traditional Jewish (including Messianic Jewish) or the traditional
Christian order.
Also, if E. Michael Jones really knew Catholicism for what Catholicism is, he wouldn't have had the
following views on it:
"Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.[3] In February, 2008, due to a complaint of anti-Semitism from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the School of Architecture at The Catholic University of America cancelled a lecture series in which Jones was scheduled to speak. In an interview with The Washington Times Jones said that he rejected racism in all of its forms, consistent with Catholic teaching[2] and responded to the cancellation in an article in Culture Wars.[4]"
While Modern Non-Messianic Judaism is-- unintentionally and intentionally-- indeed wicked, E. Michael Jones
is not a Jew and thus his little to no authority to speak on the issue of Judaism. Whatever authority he did have,
he dashed along with his credibility by coming from a Non-Evangelical Catholic angle. As I have blogged,
Non-Evangelical Catholicism (Roman, Byzantine, and otherwise) is Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic
wickedness.

Also, if E. Michael Jones really knew Catholicism for what Catholicism is, he wouldn't have had the
following views on it:
"Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University and began to teach at Saint Mary's College, of Notre Dame, Indiana. To Jones' displeasure, he found this college to be what he considered to be (in the words of Michael W. Cuneo who interviewed him) "the antithesis of what a Catholic college should be", being pro-choice, feminist and secular. He made little effort to conceal his views, leading to conflicts with many faculty, his department chairwoman and eventually the college's president. His department, which viewed him as a religious absolutist, decided against renewing his contract after his first year.[1]"
Jones needs to wake up and smell Catholicism for what it is. He obviously didn't learn from St. Mary's or
Catholic University of America. Perhaps he'd like to go to then-College, now-University of Notre Dame
Maryland and look over the whole history of Catholicism and how Evangelical Catholicism (and Evangelical
Catholics such as Jan Hus, John Wycliffe, Teresa De Avila, Edith Stein, and Abraham Sh'mu'eloff) were all
treated (the first two victims of being murdered for "heresy", the third having her Jewishness and the fact that
her family was victim to the Catholic-started Inquisition almost even ignored by the Catholic Church, Edith
Stein being murdered by self-proclaimed "Christian" Catholic and Lutheran Nazis-- and the Catholic Church
doing nothing to save Edith Stein, one of their own--, and Sh'mu'eloff having his Jewishness ignored by the
Catholic Church when Sh'mu'eloff was a Roman, English, and Byzantine Catholic throughout his lifetime.
Only Evangelical-- including Jewish-- Catholic and other Evangelical, and other sources bring up that
Sh'mu'eloff was even proud of his Jewish heritage and rebuked that many Sabra'im and 'olim would not
speak Lashon Ivrit).
