What are you talking about ?
Jews believe that all righteous people, Jewish or not, will go to heaven. There is certainly a shining place for the late John Paul II.
Why this is a problem for rabbis ? Besides, do rabbis believe that Christians or Muslems go to Heaven ?
Thank you"NYer" Good G-D help new Papiez Benedykt XVI
More of the Left's sad and despicable attempts to frighten Jews back into the Leftist coalition with the specter of Christian anti-semitism.
He probably does.
that is ridiculous. Pope Benedict XVI is not a nazi
He is a cardinal who has been elevated to the honorable distinction of POPE.
Most likely ... while they continue to push for Sainthood for Bobby Sheets Byrd who willingly joined the Klan in a leadership position as a full-fledged adult rather than being forced into it as a 12 year-old.
Of course I wasn't serious. I was attempting to point out the silliness of "looking up" what a new Pope would think about those issues.
Impossible. If he believes that, he's not a Catholic.
... Cardinal Ratzinger makes interreligious waves again, this time angering Jews Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's Congregation for the ...

It's only natural that each church thinks it has all the answer, though. FReegards....
Hannity confirmed that he was drafted into Hitler Youth, and that he was in the air defense, but that he deserted them, and that his family hated the nazis.
"The new Pope devoutly believes that only Christians go to Heavan."
Note this was all from quick google scanning. I hope I mentioned that earlier.
Mofification: he does believe that there will be the Jewish Rapture. But he has caused frictions between the Jewish and Catholic faiths.
I've always believed it in my heart. "No greater love..." Sorry if my generalization was flawed. I was just giving the impression I got from a quick google scan. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. FReegards....
I suspect that they will, at least acoustically, engage in 'heavy manners" as a consequence of their vexation.
hehe!
Time for more colonescapdes..
Byrd gets his free pass because he's such a sheethead.
Arthur, I didn't hear that any respected Orthodox Rabbi claimed any opposition to Ratzinger-Benedict XVI. Maybe some Reform liberal Rabbis are ? Grzegorz Judaism does not believe that anyone has to be a Jew to get the share in the world to come. I'm currently learning more about Judaism. It says explicitly that as long as you honor 7 laws of Noah you have the share in the world to come.
As for this another Sunday Times article mentioning a new Pope Hitler Youth days, anybody who learned a little bit about history of Nazism or Soviet Communism knows that in these societies everybody was forced to get involved with such regimes one way or another. So I don't give a damn about any other Sunday Times claims about Ratzinger. Formal Hitler Youth membership does not make Ratzinger a Nazi sympathizer at all. I also question whether they are saying truth about Ratzinger statements on Jews or non-Catholics. Knowing how leftist press enjoys attacking morally conservative, devout and religious people, I'm not taking them seriously.
