Regardless of Foxman said last year, his words in this press release are gracious, and certainly welcome, I would think, to Catholics irritated by the MSM's harping on Ratzinger. It is unfortunate that you decided to use this moment to be ungracious in return. Sometimes, people we normally oppose politically say something with which we agree. This is not a bad thing.
Okay, I'll agree with that. It's like the old saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day, and Foxman can be also.
It is beautiful, though, like a monumental healing process (although nothing can heal the Holocaust). First, a Polish Pope, who did more to reconcile old wrongs against the Jewish people by Catholics, and now a German Pope, who is a supporter of Israel. It's good, so very good.
It depends on who says it. Foxman is 99% jerk, so I am just not that open to his gestures.
What if Louis Farrkhan or David Duke like the new Pope?
Is that a good thing? Foxman is slightly more reputable not no less noxious.
Disclosure: I'm a Prod.
No, they were insulting.
You forgot an important rule: Only Jesse Jackson can have his past slams on conservatives forgiven. And that's because he did something they really really liked. Otherwise, it's like the kid that barfed in class in 2nd grade. No one forgets and must bring it up at every opportunity. It's called having no life.
