June 10, 2005 Pope Tells Jews He Will Fight Anti-Semitism By IAN FISHER By The New York Times
ROME, June 9 - In his first major interfaith meeting, Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday assured a delegation of Jewish leaders of the Roman Catholic Church's commitment to fighting anti-Semitism and to closer ties among Jews and Catholics.
"My predecessors, Pope Paul VI and, in a particular way, Pope John Paul II, took significant steps toward improving relations with the Jewish people," he said in a meeting at the Vatican. "It is my intention to continue on this path."
Several rabbis who attended the meeting said afterward that it would probably ease worries among some Jews about there being a German pope, and whether Benedict was as committed as John Paul II to continuing close ties.
"He said in effect we are almost in a special relationship," said Rabbi Israel Singer, chairman of the World Jewish Congress. "It was something he wanted to underscore early."
*/ Now it couldn't be clearer why the Freemason Know Nothing (American) party in the 1850's eschewed these two groups as not belonging in any free contry. Freedom is something they can't control, though the Jews will of course "float" with whatever comes along.
They would have won and kept Lincoln out, too, if it hadn't been for the abolitionists. Today its the reverse-twirted "Pro-Life" Guckert/Shiavo/Fincklestein Re-pubes -- with special contributions from Zionazi Christ-of-the-abused right wingnuts.

These people should know very well that they get absolutely nothing back, especially forgiveness, from their groveling to the Jews....except maybe a knife in the back.
Jesus said to His disciples that Christians should be "peaceful as doves, but wise as serpents". The Catholic church is not being wise in this case. The same people they beg forgiveness from are hell-bent on destroying and slandering what's left of the RCC (and Christianity in general) and it's flocks of believers.
It's a crying shame, but when you stray from the Gospel, you're pretty much on your own.

The Epistle of Angler to the Goyim says that reaching out to the Jews is like sticking one's hand into a box of scorpions.

Why is it always a one-way street? Catholics are under the gun to "reach out" (grovel) constantly to "improve relations" (give Abe Foxman whatever he wants) with the Jews in spite of having their collective hands snapped off every time they do, so why isn't the reverse also true? I mean, that's a rhetorical question, really.
About the only thing JPII got for his efforts was microscopic, slavering scrutiny of the pedophile priest scandal (not that it didn't deserve coverage, but how many pedophile Rabbis are running around out there, anyway?) and endless whining about how the Church didn't do enough to hide Jews from the Natzees in Dubya-Dubya Two. How many kulaks and White Russians were sheltered in synagouges during Stalin's purges and after the war? I'd guess it was somewhere between 0 and -1.
