"... a message to the Christian world that Judaism was not superseded by Christianity."

How can a true Christian accept that?

Pretty sad that they need the POPE to VALIDATE their religion.

Pope Benedict XVI (L) talks with chief Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni in Rome's main Synagogue. The role of the Roman Catholic Church during the Holocaust hung over a landmark visit Sunday by Pope Benedict XVI to Rome's main synagogue.

I wouldn’t believe ANYTHING Abe Foxman had to say about the Pope, or the Catholic Church.

Note: this topic is from January 2010 (I think it was).

Pope Benedict acknowledged the validity of Judaism and affirmed the Catholic-Jewish relationship by his visit to Rome's main synagogue. Like his predecessor Pope John Paul II, whose 1986 visit to the same Rome Synagogue was a message to the Christian world that Judaism was not superseded by Christianity and is a living dynamic religion with its own continued vitality and sacred purpose to do God's will, Benedict sent the same message to prelates, priests and those in the pews. Pope Benedict has institutionalized for his and future papacies the fact of mutual respect by making it clear that the Jewish people are the people of God's Covenant through Moses.
