Whoa!!!

Someone better get to heaven quickly and let Zechariah
know he wrote down a false prophecy about the grief and sorrow Jews will have as Christ is revealed in the end...

Guess this won’t be necessary any more...

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.” - Zech 12:10

Or maybe not. Maybe the whole Pope statement was human hubris. “Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” - Jesus

The Pope would be the first to agree with you, that God alone forgives sins.

What the Pope here is reiterating (for this is nothing new) is that there is no "collective guilt" particularly damning Jews --- who, like Gentiles, share in a damaged, sin-prone human nature, as do we all, and whose sins, like all of humanity's sins, are the real burden Jesus carried as our Savior.

Did you read the statement?
