So can you please explain why the pope ignored the attack in Israel?

The Catholic church has historically not supported Israel or the Jewish faith.

I have a feeling you're Catholic... which shows your reaction was the "knee-jerk" variety since it didn't put any thought into the Church's past regarding Israel, but instead just tried to flame me.

I'm capable of being more objective since i'm not a member of either of those religions.

So you were probably drooling and blindly staring nowhere when His Holiness Pope JP II apologized for the Church not having a proactive stance during the Holocaust.

And yes, you're the knee-jerk when you equal Catholic = Anti-Jew.

And you can be sure that I'll defend my faith and my Church from all the gratuitous attacks I unfortunately have to see here at FR...

So why the almost knee-jerk reaction in the other direction? Stop being a phoney and get some intellectual integrity.
