The Jews are Off the Hook According to a New Book By the Pope

Too bad it wasn't Pope Benedict I circa 579 and not Benedict XVI circa 2011 that wrote this down. It may have saved the lives of quite a few Jews in the long run.

Benedict comes to the same conclusion, but he explains how with a thorough, Gospel-by-Gospel analysis that leaves little doubt that he deeply and personally believes it to be the case: That only a few Temple leaders and a small group of supporters were primarily responsible for Christ's crucifixion.

That Benedict is a theologian makes "this statement from the Holy See that much more significant for now and for future generations," said Anti-Defamation League national director, Abraham H. Foxman.

It is cool that the Pope can give you a Gospel-by-Gospel analysis on this stuff to support his points. I would love to see Sura-by-Sura analysis by Islamic scholars to refute suicide bombing or other higher level theological thought coming out of the Muslim world.
