History Tells Everything
Minister in charge of financial affairs of Japan Mr. Shizuka Kamei said several months ago to Mr. Fujio Mitarai, the chairman of the most renowned Federation of Economic Organizations, that the chairman was responsible for the recent degradation of the Japanese society as murder cases committed among family members have accounted for a majority of all the homicides in Japan.
Mr. Bill Totten, a respectable American Japanese businessman, wrote in his blog, "Our World," that he really felt the same way as very veteran Minister Mr. Kamei.
It was 20 years ago that Mr. Bill Totten wrote his first book based on his business experiences in Japan since 1969, in order to defend Japan from American antagonism against Japanese exporting power.
He is going to publish a new book which is however not to praise Japan but to show his strong concern about the future of Japan, since America looks so anti-Christian nowadays to him born and raised in California, in my interpretation...

SECTION I: The Vatican and Judaism
Many Europeans do not respect New York, since Pope is in Rome. Many Judaists do not mind Rome, since their zealous brethren are in Jerusalem.
I-1. Popes and Rothschilds
It is very natural that a Pope as an emperor on the earth sometimes needs financial aide from any super-rich people to maintain his realm, since any small empire on the globe needs money to function.

Arnold Leese - Gentile Folly: the Rothschild's
...
When Pius IX. had sought safety from the revolutionaries of 1848, he needed Rothschild loans to enable him to regain his temporal power:
they did not grant him the loan until he promised to pull down the ghetto walls in Rome and establish freedom of movement and abolition of special taxes for Jews; this he refused to do until 1850, when the loan of thirty-three million francs was granted to him, on that condition.
Payments of interest soon got into arrears (Daily Telegraph, 2nd Nov., 1935), which may be the reason that long after the Rothschild House in Naples had been closed down, the Rothschilds remained guardians of the Papal Treasure!

Yet, many poor Judaists in Italy had to severely suffer WWII due to the expanded Holocaust over the border into Italy.
I-2. Popes and Catholic-Jewish Relations
Then, a new pope came from Poland after WWII, maybe, by the grace of Holy Lord.

He Changed 2,000 Years of History

Let us remember that Karol Wojtyla became Pope at a critical moment in Catholic-Jewish relations. The 1960s had witnessed the historic Vatican II Council statement called Nostra Aetate, which rejected two millennia of doctrine holding Jews responsible for the death of Jesus.
What was unclear by 1978, with the election of a new Pope, was whether the Church would truly take the initiative of Vatican II and translate it into a radical reformulation of Catholic-Jewish relations or whether it would become a statement that, while important, never had a major impact on the Catholic world.

Then in 1993, the Holy See under the reign of John Paul II officially recognized legitimacy of the nation Israel.
However it is rarely discussed how this evolution between Christianity and Judaism has been affecting Islam and American Christianity as well as other Christian communities in the world.
SECTION II: America and The Vatican
Many Catholics in America think they are the follower of the Pope, which is however rejected by the Pope.

After Kennedy's Death: Silence from the Pope
By Jeff Israely Friday, Aug. 28, 2009
...
Back at headquarters, however, there is little room for nuance. "Here in Rome, Ted Kennedy is nobody. He's a legend with his own constituency," says the Vatican official. "If he had influence in the past, it was only with the Archdiocese of Boston, and that eventually disappeared too." Some say the final sunset on the Kennedy name within Catholic halls of power was the Vatican's decision in 2007 to overturn the annulment of the first marriage of former U.S. Representative Joe Kennedy, the eldest son of Robert Kennedy. The successful appeal by Joe Kennedy's ex-wife Sheila Rauch, an Episcopalian, was another blow to the Kennedy image in Catholic circles.
In what may mark the final flicker of Kennedy influence in American Catholicism, reports circulated last spring that Obama was considering JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy as the possible next U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. That was not to be. Indeed, in the wake of Uncle Ted's death came word Thursday that Obama's final choice had arrived in Rome to take up the diplomatic post at the Holy See. He is Miguel Diaz, a little-known Cuban-born professor of theology firmly on the record as prolife.

Maybe, as in America Judaism and Christianity, including Catholicism, are getting so closer to each other, the Vatican cannot admit many American Catholics as its members.
Or, especially, the American Democratic Party is full of Catholics and Judaists, which might be liberty in excess for the Vatican.
For the Vatican, good Judaists may be those in Israel; good Catholics are those outside America.

Once I saw a young Japanese nun in a certain town of Tokyo.
She was working as a member of an aid group helping poor people in the town.
But, she never used respect language to old daily workers and old homeless men who received some aid from the group.
To my surprise, a senior nun never even tried to correct the manners of the young nun.
Now I wonder whether or how they respected Mother Teresa or whether or how Mother Teresa would accept their respect, since those were the days when Mother Teresa was alive.
I do not belong to any Christian church, as you know, Your Eminences...
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
