screen 04  DIANA: Fiat Driver Shot Twice In Head - HENCE NOT SUICIDE!

screen 08 Solidarity with Catholics Against the Pope's Latest Move - a Jewish freethinker sharply critiques the  Re-introduction of the Latin Mass.

James Andanson, the paparazzi photographer at the centre of investigations into Princess Diana’s death died with 2 bullet holes in his head, it is claimed.

He had followed the Princess’s every move in the week before her death, and was thought to have committed suicide when his burnt corpse was found in a car wreckage in the French countryside.

But now the fireman who discovered the body, Christophe Pelat, has said: “I saw him at close range and I’m absolutely convinced that he had been shot in the head, twice.”

The revelation threatens to blow apart the inquest on Diana.  Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, whose son Dodi, 42, also died, is now demanding that Mr Pelat be called to give evidence at the inquest – or at least that his account is heard.

Police are certain that Andanson, a 54 year old millionaire, was a regular informer for both MI6, and French agencies.  He has been one of the key figures in the mystery surrounding the fatal crash, which happened 10 years ago next month.

 

As a leading paparazzi photographer, he had spent weeks following the 36-year-old Princess, as her romance with Dodi blossomed .

Many who have studied the accident closely believe it was Andanson who was driving the white Fiat Uno which clipped Diana’s Mercedes seconds before the crash, as part of a complicated assassination plot.
>> i too have always considered it was an assassination.

The car was repainted shortly after the Alma tunnel crash, and was sold by Andanson in October 1997.  French police are now expected to reopen the investigation into Andanson’s death.

But he was never properly interviewed by the authorities, and within 3 years of the tragedy, he  was found dead.  His body, found in thick woodland, was so badly charred that it took police nearly a month before DNA and dental records confirmed his identity.

The official verdict was suicide.  Now the first fire officer on the scene, has suggested he may have been murdered.  His claim supports conspiracy theories that Andanson was himself assassinated by secret agents because he knew too much about the plot which killed Diana.

The Universe will Destroy the Evidence of its Origin

While I share with many Catholics the concern that this is only the first step in the process of dismantling the powerful commitment of Vatican II towards moving the Church bask toward the social justice, peace and love-oriented teachings of Jesus, as a Jew I am particularly concerned about the re-legitimation of praying for the conversion of the Jews.

Jews have good reason for fear.  From the moment the Church took power over the Roman empire in the 4th century C.E., it has used that power consistently to demean Judaism and to oppress Jews.  It frequently used its huge influence in Europe to convince state power to murder, torture, or simply expel the Jewish people from country after country.  The Inquisition was only the most visible of the systematic attempts to coerce the Jewish people into conversion or expulsion. 

It was only the triumph of the secular order through the French Revolution and the American Revolution that its secular power began to decrease, though it continued to teach hatred of Jews in its churches.  The legacy of that hatred was all-too-manifest in the Concordat that Pope Pius XII made with Hitler, and the failure of the Church to call upon its priests and laity to offer protection and assistance to Jews who were being hunted down and murdered in the millions. 

It was this disgraceful legacy that Pope John XXIII sought to rectify in part by eliminating the teacher of hatred that was a central ingredient to the Latin Mass.  Convinced that the call for conversion of the Jews was a central element in the process of demeaning Judaism, he sought to eliminate that teaching from the life of the Church, and instead to introduce the notion that Judaism should be thought of as a sister religion, not one that must be overcome and obliterated. 

But there was one critical failure of Vatican II: it did not order the Church to explicitly teach its members and priests about the role that the Church had played in developing massive anti-Semitism throughout its history.  As a result, it provided no way for its priests and members to understand why anti-Semitism was so prevalent in Europe, what had fostered it, and why it was so easily accessible to dictators like Hitler and Stalin as they sought to win popular support by providing a secular version of the anti-Semitism that Christianity had propagated for 16 centuries.

Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Church division which originally directed the Inquisition before he became today's Pope, has taken a powerful step toward the re-introduction of the process of demeaning Jews.  You cannot respect another religion if you teach that those who are part of it must convert to your own.  Interfaith respect is based on acceptance that people who do not become part of your own religion nevertheless deserve respect, and their religious commitments cannot be treated as something which must be overcome and left behind.  Although such notions of mutual respect are not honored recently in the practice of the U.S. government which currently believes it has the right to murder people in other countries and invade and topple their governments if they do not share the religion of capitalism and democracy, all spiritual progressives believe that this approach to the world is barbaric. 
>> again am reminded of people who look backwards for their moral compass and those, like the rabbi here, who look forwards, towards some approaching socially just society to which they feel deep in their hearts we should be heading.

So, just as we oppose these policies in our own government, we join in supporting the many Catholics who are part of the Network of Spiritual Progressives who are dismayed and outraged at this latest assault on interfaith cooperation by the Pope, recognizing it as a first step on a slippery slope toward the restoration of anti-Semitism in the Church as well as the restoration of authoritarian and feudal ways of thinking that they had hoped would be relegated to the garbage bins of history. 

We see this move as wildly insensitive and further proof of the Church's need to systematically teach its priests and its members about the disgraceful role it played in fostering anti-Semitism through the centuries, and how the teachings of hatred,  and the need to convert the Jews, played into that anti-Semitism.
