Vigilo may or may not be Catholic. I certainly am Catholic. May I apologize to both of you for yet one more insult hurled in your direction, regardless of the source within Christianity. More importantly, B-16 is certainly Catholic. Please do not ascribe to him or to the Church today the anti-Jewish sentiments too often posted here.

The holocaust experienced by your people in the 1930s and 1940s is not going to happen again. To get to you, they will have to come through us. I promise that and I know I am not alone among Catholics by any means.

I'm down for that.

This thread is disturbingly ugly. My apologies as well.

Hiya, BlackElk. I am aware that the majority of Catholics had no issue with JPII visiting a synagogue or his close relationship withg the chief rabbi of Rome, nor would they have an issue with B-16 carrying on that relationship. There is, however, the ever present vocal minority, who is doing more harm to the RCC than Luther could have ever done with their constant handwringing, ire, and schismatic behavior.
