My friends says the Pope is not a Christian but a Kabbahlistic Jew. What is Kabbahlistic Jew by the way. Could you enlighten me on this?

Pope Benedict XVI (born Joseph Alois Ratzinger) is a Catholic Christian who was born and grew up in a nation ruled by the Nazi party.
If he was a Jew then he and all of his family would have been sent to the concentration camps and killed.
Instead he was drafted into the Hitler Youth and the Nazi German Army just like every other non-Jewish German male. He was not given a choice.
The Pope is not and never has been a Nazi. He unfortunately was born and grew up in a country ruled by the Nazi party.
Every draftee into the Hitler Youth and the Nazi German Army was not a Nazi.
Thank God that you and I live in a very different world that the Pope did in 1930s and 1940s Germany.
With love in Christ.

No, the Pope is not a Kabbalistic Jew.
Kabbalah (Qabalah, Cabala, etc) is a tradition of Jewish mysticism, although there have been "Christian" adaptations of the Kabbalah as well; and modern developments have freed it of dogmatic implications altogether. I'm sure the Pope knows all about the Kabbalah; but I rather doubt he's a Kabbalist himself, and I know he's not a Jew!

Ho hum- an age old accusation from the neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic websites is that Jews created Christianity to control the world. A great example of this kind of anti-Semitic group is the World Church of the Creator.
As for Kaballah- it is Jewish mysticism (translated into English it means received from God- "Kabel"- received, the heh at the end frequently added on to indicate "from God"- but can also just denote the feminine form of the word. In this case it means "from God' as the feminine form would be meaningless within this context). There is a lot of rubbish put out there about Kaballah, a lot of cults cashing in on people's gullibility (ala the "Kaballah Centre" that Madonna frequents). In reality, the people who really know Kaballah don't talk about it or write books about it.
As for a "Kaballistic Jew"- it is a meaningless term. All of Judaism references Kaballah to one extent or another- so, for example, in Talmud Masechta Chagigah the layout of the Heavens and the soul is dicussed in brief- and then moved away from as a subject only for those who know enough to truly delve into it.

I'm a Kabballahist. The Pope is not one. Kabballah is Jewish Mysticism. There is much debate as to where exactly it comes from or how old it truly is, so take everyones answer with a grain of salt.

I don't know what a Kabbahlistic Jew is, but I'm pretty sure that Benny is a Christian. Otherwise, why would he be head of the RCC?

The kabbalah is a branch of Jewish mysticism. Your friends don't know what they're talking about.

Thy house doth fall in disrespect.
Thy words do spew of offal.
Thy body fills with thy Rot.
Thou art a Troll.
Thou art a bigot.
Thou art an apostate of thine own religion.
Thy God doth abhor thee.

Isn't Madonna a Kabbahlist too? And she was strangely enough raised a Catholic! Makes you wonder.
