Richard Cushing: Perbedaan antara revisi

=== Uskup Agung Boston ===

Cushing diangkat sebagai Uskup Agung Boston ketiga pada tanggal 25 September 1944 menyusul wafatnya Kardinal O'Connell. Selama masa jabatannya, Boston menyaksikan [[ekskomunikasi]] Romo [[Leonard Feeney]] atas interpretasinya yang sempit terhadap doktrin Katolik [[Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus|bahwa tidak ada keselamatan jiwa di luar gereja]]. Feeney menolak untuk merubah posisisnya, namun terdengar bahwa ia akhirnya berekonsiliasi dengan gereja sebelum wafatnya.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,908875,00.html ''Time'' magazine: "Feeney Forgiven"]</ref> Setelah wafatnya [[Paus Pius XII]], Cushing merilis sebuah film sebagai penghargaan kepada sang Paus.<ref>Pope Pius XII by Richard Cushing, St. Paul Editions, Boston, 1959</ref> DiPada tahun 1959, Cushing menerbitkan sabuah biografi dari almarhum [[Paus Pius XII]] (1939-1958), yang menggambarkan Sri Paus sebagai "Sri Paus Perdamaian".

: ''1. We must cast the Declaration on the Jews in a much more positive form, one not so timid, but much more loving ... For the sake of our common heritage we, the children of Abraham according to the spirit, must foster a special reverence and love for the children of Abraham according to the flesh. As children of Adam, they are our kin, as children of Abraham they are Christ's blood relatives. 2. So far as the guilt of Jews in the death of our Saviour is concerned, the rejection of the Messiah by His own, is according to Scripture, a mystery&mdash;amystery—a mystery given us for our instruction, not for our self-exaltation ... We cannot sit in judgement on the onetime leaders of Israel&mdash;GodIsrael—God alone is their judge. Much less can we burden later generations of Jews with any burden of guilt for the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, for the death of the Saviour of the world, except that universal guilt in which we all have a part ... In clear and unmistakable language, we must deny, therefore, that the Jews are guilty of our Saviour's death. We must condemn especially those who seek to justify, as Christian deeds, discrimination, hatred and even persecution of Jews ... 3. I ask myself, Venerable Brothers, whether we should not humbly acknowledge before the whole world that, toward their Jewish brethren, Christians have all too often not shown themselves as true Christians, as faithful followers of Christ. How many [Jews] have suffered in our own time? How many died because Christians were indifferent and kept silent? ... If in recent years, not many Christian voices were raised against those injustices, at least let ours now be heard in humility.'' <ref>Oesterreicher, pp. 197-98</ref>
