VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI met Thursday with representatives of a Jewish group and said that religion should never be used to justify hatred and violence.
YES! Sadly, I don't think this will make any difference in the world. But I couldn't agree more.

Didn't Pope John Paul 2 do pretty much the same thing? Doesn't that mean we're still moving in the right direction?

Yes finally, but it somehow seems slightly shallow to me since the religion was founded on such values! As they say the proof will be in the eating of the pudding.

I dont get why this is a step in any direction. Actually following a pope around is a step backwards not fowards

agree totally as each and every religious belief system needs to remember to respect the rights of others and perhaps we all can help peace come about if we do our part by respecting the rights of others.

old school,
From my heart : A political statement. So far off of what Jesus was about, incredibly self serving. The Worldly Message.
So no.
