I may stop by later and see how many people think this is a bad thing because it’s Pope Francis. There sure were a lot who objected to God’s mercy.

Well welcome aboard, Pope-baby. The party has been going on for a while...

Who has been the biggest supporters of Israel for the last 60 years or so -- who bigger than American Evangelicals?

Myself, I’ve never understood anti-Semitism

There’s nothing in the Bible that changes their status from God’s Chosen People to something else.

If the anti-Semitism stems from the Crucifixion, it seems to me that the Romans (modern Italians) are equally culpable. But anti-Italianism is almost non-existant.

Sure, a large majority of American Jews are liberals or democrats, but that is individual behavior. I know several conservative Jews that make up for some of the liberalism of most Jews.

"Every Christian must be firm in deploring all forms of anti-Semitism, and in showing their solidarity with the Jewish people," said the Pope.

He also said the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, is a reminder that persecution against followers of religions should be denounced.

"Recently we marked the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the concentration camp which has come to be synonymous with the great tragedy of the Shoah. The memory of what took place there, in the heart of Europe, is a warning to present and future generations," th Pope said.

Pope Francis also maintained that Jews and Christians are bound by duty to "preserve the religious sense" amid an increasingly secular and atheist society.

Thank you for posting this.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis, Catholic chapter twelve, Protestant verse three,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

Pope Francis called on Christians to stand united with Jews to defend themselves against discrimination and persecution.

I join with Francis in his call for Christians to stand with Jews to defend themselves against discrimination and persecution. Does he intend to call for Catholics to do the same?
