Pope Exonerates Jews
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY (AP) — In a new book, Pope Benedict XVI makes a sweeping exoneration of the Jewish people for the death of Jesus Christ.
The Second Vatican Council made a similar declaration in 1965. But Benedict is the first pope to personally do so, and Jewish scholars said Wednesday that his arguments were a milestone attack on the “foundation of anti-Semitic persecution.”
The book, “Jesus of Nazareth — Part II,” argues in detail that there is no biblical basis for the argument that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible.
