"John Paul added more insult on his trip by insisting that the ambulance following him there not have the Jewish Star on it, or that those who might give him transfusions, had any Jewish blood."

Thanks for posting the part about Bob Kunst's e-mail, etc. Honestly, I tried! But I can only cut and paste (I don't do the HTML stuff), and it was coming out quite a mess for me! So...thanks for the rescue!

John Paul II's similar gestures toward Jews were welcomed in Israel, according to Haaretz. "From his first visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1979 to his visit to Israel in 2000 -- during which he asked forgiveness at Yad Vashem [the Holocaust memorial] and put a note in the Western Wall -- the 26 years of his papacy were full of efforts to effect a major reform" in the relationship between Jews and Christians, said the liberal daily.

"He was the first pope to visit a synagogue, when he prayed at the Great Synagogue in Rome in 1986; in a speech in 1997 he said that Christians had failed during the Holocaust; during his visit to Israel, he apologized for the behavior of Christians who had caused the Jews to suffer; and he coined the term 'elder brothers' to describe the Jews."

His Holiness remarkable pilgrimage to the Holy Land and his support for the Palestinian right for self determination are source of proud and strength to us," the prisoners wrote in a condolence letter to the Vatican.

To be sure, John Paul II had critics. On Monday, Iran's hard-line press "denounced pope John Paul II for his efforts to reconcile with the Jewish people, saying Israel should be seen as an enemy of the church and not just the Islamic republic," according to IranMania, a London-based news site.

"Not only did the pope never condemn the crimes of the 'Zionist regime' in the territories, the Vatican officially recognised its existence," the fundamentalist Jomhuri Islami newspaper complained.

Likewise, a columnist for the Jerusalem Post lamented John Paul II's opposition to the Iraq war and his sympathy for the Palestinians by describing him as "The Pope Who Loved Too Much."

Is that the same Bob Kunst who used to be a "leader" in the homosexual movement in Miami?

A sense of his perspective: His group is called the "oral majority." Tee-hee.
