BERNSTEIN MASS - Jew commenting on Christian theology
At the time when the world is challenged by the fights
between different religious people it is something very good that a person of
other tradition is inspired to create a very interesting and original commentary
on believes of another religious tradition. Here, Bernstein took something that was very important
to Christians – the Mass, and created his own artistic interpretation of it. An artist is much freer to do that than a
liturgies or a theologian. He put life and
energy into it. The role of a celebrant who
has a breakdown was the summary humanity. He created that Mass in honor of J.F.
Kennedy.
For me as a Catholic priest this interpretation of Mass is
going to change the way how I will celebrate it. I will bring my brokenness into
it. Jesus can be understood the best by his own people. Mr. Bernstein, thank you for your gift.
This is a good discussion about the Bernstein Mass between
Catholics and Jews. The speakers give interesting perspectives about their own experiences
and thoughts of it.
