It could be that Pope Francis is a "man of Nostra Aetate"; it could be that he is not; and it could be that he is somewhere in between. Judging by a few warm words toward the Jews, and a chance photograph in the vicinity of a menorah, -- which is our Christian obligation of charity, -- it is impossible to tell.

Well, the "chance" photograph actually shows him lighting a menorah.

And from the Catechism of Pope St Pius X (in regards to the First Commandment):

15 Q: What else does the First Commandment forbid?

A: The First Commandment also forbids all dealings with the devil, and all association with anti-Christian sects.

Now please keep in mind that I'm quoting the last Pope who has been raised to the altars, before you again accuse of me being on a anti-papist rant.

To: ebb tide

Lighting a menorah is not common prayer; it is a festival activity.

In the past 50 years, the papal teaching was that we should not view the Jews as an “anti-Christian sect”.

Of course you are on an anti-papist rant. The pope today is St. Francis; that’s whom you accuse of apostasy based on virtually anything he does. You are anti-papist.
