Judeo-Christian Values: A Catholic Priest and a Rabbi Discuss God, Israel, and Online Hate

In this fascinating episode of Real Talk with Rabbi Rowe, I sit down with Father Piotr Lascaux — head of the Hebrew-speaking Catholic Church in Israel — for a wide-ranging and deeply honest conversation about one of the most complex relationships in religious history: Catholics and Jews.We explore the Hebrew-speaking Catholic community in Israel, the theological shift sparked by the Second Vatican Council's Nostra Aetate, and what the Church actually teaches today about Jewish salvation, the Torah, and the covenant. Father Piotr opens up about why he redirects Jewish Israelis seeking conversion back to their own rabbis, how he navigates living as a Catholic Zionist, and what he makes of the wave of online Catholic voices pushing antisemitic narratives.Whether you're Jewish, Catholic, or simply curious about interfaith dialogue, this conversation will challenge assumptions and open new doors.Be sure to subscribe to the channel for weekly videos on Jewish philosophy, wisdom and world-changing ideas.0:00 – Father Piotr3:00 – The Hebrew-Speaking Catholic Community in Israel7:00 – Can You Be Both Jewish and Catholic?10:00 – Christians Serving in the Israeli Army13:00 – "Are You Here to Convert Us?"
