The thing that is bothering me the most about Fox News' coverage is when they run their mini-biography about the Pope, and they mention the "departure" he made in his relationship with Jews, contrary to the "old position" of the Church that stated that Jews "deserved to suffer for killing Jesus." The Church NEVER taught that, though some Catholics advocated it and did it, unfortunately.

EWTN ran a documentary that said JPII hand delivered a note of apology for the suffering the Jews have endured. He should understand where the Jewish people are coming from. Twenty-five percent of his schoolmates were Jewish. I also heard that JPII was arrested by Nazi soldiers, and let go when they found a workers card on his possession.

The Church NEVER taught that,

You are correct ..

I was taught that we are all God's children

But I think FNC was trying to point out how that JPII reached out to all people of the world
