In contemporary culture, where the term "privilege" has become an unfortunate source of contention, Deuteronomy might point a way for recognition of one's relative privilege in regard to an Other as a basis for gratitude and responsibility. This essay argues that we have gained "privilege" after having been immigrants and strangers in a strange land.

The Christian- Jewish dialogue and the rapprochement between the Holy See and the State of Israel are owed in essence to feelings of shame regarding the Shoah. The Second Vatican Council and the pontificate of John Paul II signified substantial breakthroughs. Since then, though, the sense of guilt has eased, and the Roman Catholic Church's awareness of the injustice of its role as fellow traveller to, and henchman of, the Third Reich has diminished. Under the current Pope, Benedict XVI, the relationship between Jews and Catholics has noticeably deteriorated. After five years of his pontificate, Joseph Ratzinger has lost a great deal of trust, and not only among Jews.}, language = {en} }
