I will speak for myself- any reconciliation is fine. Catholics have a lot in common with the Jews. Toleration and understanding are the keys in good relationships. We are all working towards the same goals. (Happiness and peace).

It's just what I would have expected from him.
His childhood experiences during Hitler's regime must have heightened his respect for the Jews. He consistently refused to attend Hitler Youth meetings even though every child was automatically enrolled as a "member." In this, he followed the ideas of the rest of his family, who opposed Hitler. This caused them some trouble, but they managed to survive.
I have not agreed with Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict) on some of his positions; but I have no doubt of his respect for Judaism.

Yes, I knew Benedict will live up to his name (blessing).
Muslim, Jewish, and Orthodox leaders all agree with him because he speaks out in a well mannered way against strict Western secularim.
Secularism and relativism is what is burning underneath his fingernails, especially in Europe (reffering to Europe´s rejection of its Christian roots as a ¨profound self-hatred¨).

Sounds good to me. Shouldn't we all get along?
Personally, I love Jewish people. I think they're great.

The "pope" isn't in the Bible. He is doing the same "unite the world's religions" little antichrist thing that they've been trying since Constantine invented the catholic cult. First they tried it by violence and murder, now they try it by "peace".
Catholics teach a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell. Catholics are not saved Christians.

the God is the God of unity, that's why the Pope as God's servant, does God's will.
