Dear No Mesorah:
You seem to have missed that every gadol forbade Zionism and that many wrote that it is literal idolatry and heresy.
I gave you one source off-hand from Rav Elchonon HY”D; there are others, too (in Satmar, Brisk and elsewhere). Moreover, anyone who reads the WZO’s official “Jerusalem Program” can see both the A”Z and Kefirah there. It’s not mystical and not mysterious.
You are falsely claiming that I dislike Zionism and therefore a Rabbi who is Zionist is not to be trusted.
Once more, and, with this, I think I’ll let you have the last word if you continue to mock and ignore what I write:
A (Rabbi who is a) Zionist is, by definition, literally worshiping an idol and likely believes in heresy as well. That’s what the gedolim wrote, and we can see how logically sound they were in stating that.
Whether or not he is a tinok sheNishba in doing so is not my concern. My likes and dislikes are irrelevant.
So, therefore, because he is a Zionist, his “psak” is automatically suspect. That’s the point here with his church ceremony attendance.
