A Jewish Cardinal?

Reactions 
The Cardinal described himself as a brigdebuilder to Judaism. He failed. The Jerusalem Post described him as an apostate on his death. Cathcon readers will be delighted to know but not surprised that I still don't describe myself as an anglican. Almost twenty years since I converted, the night before meeting a friend on the steps of Westminster Abbey, said a brief goodbye, and then went off for a very fine meal. No looking back for me.

St Paul called himself an Israelite (Romans 11:1).

I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Obviously that is OK; so when the late Cdl. Lustiger called himself Jewish, did he mean something different?
