The position that Jones articulates about Judaism is one that does not enjoy the support of the Catholic Church, and his views are considered to be extreme even in staunchly traditionalist circles. Many Catholics have denounced Jones’ bigoted rhetoric and exploitation of Catholic teachings for his own purposes. Responding to his participation on a panel in Prague in September 2006, Cardinal Miloslav Vlk, Archbishop of Prague, released a statement criticizing Jones for his outreach to “political extremists, Lefebvrites, nationalists, anti-Semites, Islamists and neo-Nazis.” In 2004, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights “unequivocally condemned” Jones for his anti-Semitism and denounced “his efforts to justify it in the name of Catholic theology.” It also strongly criticized Jones for “outrageously blam[ing] the Jews themselves for the Holocaust and pogroms.”
