Catholic Voices for Israel is a network of Catholics — and non‑Catholic friends — committed to offering a clear, charitable, and theologically grounded response to the rise of anti‑Israel and anti‑Jewish rhetoric in Catholic discourse. This section gathers the initiative’s foundational documents, including its invitation, charter, and public statement, which articulate a Catholic perspective on Israel, Zionism, and the enduring covenant with the Jewish people. Our aim is to foster thoughtful engagement, strengthen Catholic understanding, and encourage a faithful witness rooted in Scripture, tradition, and the demands of justice. Here you will find resources, reflections, and opportunities to participate in this effort.
This charter sets out the purpose, scope, and principles of Catholic Voices for Israel. In a moment when distorted appeals to Catholic teaching are shaping public debate about Israel, this document articulates a clear and faithful framework for Catholic reflection on the Jewish people, the land of Israel, and the modern State. It defines the aims of the initiative, the limits of its mandate, and the principles that guide its work.
Many people today encounter claims about Israel that present themselves as Catholic but often distort the Church’s teaching. Catholic Voices for Israel seeks to gather Catholics committed to offering a clear, charitable, and faithful response articulating the positive role of the people, land, and State of Israel in Catholic thought.
