Why will this post "drive a wedge between Christians and Jews"? Please, explain

The post emphasizes differences, not commonalities.

For example, the statement by Maimonides would be seen as offensive by many Christians. And then there is the statement from Cardinal Ratzinger, asking if Christians should "tolerate" Judaism. Many Jews would find that offensive.

But I will say this. The article ended well, with the "Love is the Key" remarks.

I won’t say it emphasized difference, but it did start from opposite viewpoints and tried to engage them in a dialogue.

The excerpt from Ratzinger didn’t do justice to his whole essay. You must read it!
