Pope Benedict and the Vatican have taken a very promising step in Judeo-Christian relations, by recognizing that the Jewish community was not guilty in the death of Jesus in a new book:

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI has made a sweeping exoneration of the Jewish people for the death of Jesus Christ, tackling one of the most controversial issues in Christianity in a new book.

In "Jesus of Nazareth-Part II" excerpts released Wednesday, Benedict uses biblical and theological analyses to explain why there was no basis in Scripture that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible for Jesus' death.

Interpretations to the contrary have been used for centuries to justify the persecution of Jews.

While the Vatican has for five decades taught that Jews weren't collectively responsible, Jewish scholars said Wednesday the argument laid out by the German-born pontiff, who has had his share of mishaps with Jews, was significant and would help fight anti-Semitism today.

"There's a natural human tendency to take things for granted, and very often this tends to lead to a lapse in awareness and consciousness" about the risk of anti-Semitism, said Rabbi David Rosen, head of interreligious affairs at the American Jewish Committee and a longtime leader in Vatican-Jewish dialogue.

He noted that the Vatican issued its most authoritative document on the issue in its 1965 Second Vatican Council document "Nostra Aetate," which revolutionized the Catholic Church's relations with Jews by saying Christ's death could not be attributed to Jews as a whole at the time or today.

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.

Rosen said the pope's words might make a bigger, more lasting mark because the faithful tend to read Scripture and commentary more than church documents, particularly old church documents.

"It may be an obvious thing for Jews to present texts with commentaries, but normally with church magisterium, they present a document," he said. "This is a pedagogical tool that he's providing, so people will be able to interpret the text in keeping with orthodox Vatican teaching."

The book is the second installment to Benedict's 2007 "Jesus of Nazareth," his first book as pope, which offered a very personal meditation on the early years of Christ's life and teachings. This second installment, set to be released March 10, concerns the final part of Christ's life, his death and resurrection.

The Vatican's publishers provided excerpts Wednesday.

In the book, Benedict re-enacts Jesus' final hours, then analyzes each Gospel account to explain why Jews as a whole cannot be blamed for having turned him over. Rather, Benedict concludes, it was the Jewish leadership, the "Temple aristocracy" and a few supporters of the figure Barabbas who were responsible, but not Jews as a whole.

I'm not sure if this is a perfect explanation either, but I suppose it's getting somewhere in making clear that the majority of the Jewish community did not turn him in or condone his death at the hands of the Romans.

"How could the whole people have been present at this moment to clamor for Jesus' death?" Benedict asks.

He deconstructs one particular account which has the crowd saying, "His blood be on us and on our children" — a phrase frequently cited as evidence of the collective guilt Jews bore and the curse that they carried as a result.

The phrase has been so incendiary that director Mel Gibson was reportedly forced to drop it from the subtitles of his 2004 film "The Passion of the Christ," although it remained in the spoken Aramaic.

But Benedict said Jesus' death wasn't about punishment, but rather salvation. Jesus' blood, he said, "does not cry out for vengeance and punishment, it brings reconciliation. It is not poured out against anyone, it is poured out for many, for all."

Benedict's writings could possibly help to defuse the propaganda Gibson's reprehensible film wallowed in. There's still a lot more that the Christian world could do to help mend fences with Jewish society, but I think it's fair to say that Pope Benedict has made a helpful step in the right direction.

I think that the Pope needs to consult with Bishop Richard Williamson on this; he will clear all this up in a jiffy. :~)

Rome and the "JEWS" killed Jesus ... so what's new about pleading innocent in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary ?

His death was the blood sacrifice that fulfilled the requirement of the law.

His resurrection gave everyone a new way to eternal salvation.

Bene is correct in saying that the Temple Elite, the scribes and pharisees, were the ones calling for His crucifixion.

I have no clue about Barabas' buddies chiming in...

Peace.

WTF! So this pope speaks for all of Christiandom? Hardly!

What does this pope think of the homosexual priests and bishops plying their homosexual and pedophile desires against innocent adolescent children? I guess that isn't about punishment but about the childrens salvation. It must be so because it continues on and on throughout his church and around the globe. Does this pope exonerate his priests and bishops?

The jews get another pass. They have infiltrated governments, the media, the financial institutions world wide, and now are starting to take control of religion. Coming up, total control of the masses. Welcome to the jewish god! Get your yiddish in order.

Lets make Christianity a crime and a sin, get it over with.

Now the Poop can retire for the day and count his new shekels.

That is a given. The spiriyual death is more painful than physical death. You only suffer physical death once but have to live with the pain of spiritual death constantly. That is why Patrick Henry said " Give me liberty or give me death". He understood the difference!

um, Benedict, double-edge sword ring a bell?

bible.cc/revelation/1-16.htm / bible.cc/revelation/19-15.htm

In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus first spoke words of reconciliation from Isaiah 61:1 and the first part of verse 2.

16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

bible.cc/luke/4-21.htm

Jews REJECTED His reconciliation AND His blood sacrifice, so "the acceptable year of the LORD" ENDED as far as the Jewish nation goes, and He then spoke the rest of Isaiah 61:2 regarding them:

Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

bible.cc/luke/21-22.htm

Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

bible.cc/matthew/23-37.htm

Luke 23:13And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 17(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? .....

bible.cc/luke/23-28.htm

"Infallible" popery gets it wrong again.

The remaining Christians, by the way, who had not already been persecuted and killed, when they saw the city surrounded by armies, knew it was the sign to clear out of Jerusalem, and they were saved. Jews who rejected Jesus' word, stayed behind and perished.

Modern Judaism is very proud to claim even the guys who condemned Jesus of Nazareth to death as Jews. If you read commentary freely available on the internet and published in print, you will notice that Jews don't have a problem with it. False prophet---dead. Just like Hebrew scripture says.

I thank God that the Pope has fully revealed himself as a false prophet. His lies change absolutely nothing: Jews still killed Jesus, Israel's doom is fast approaching, and over 99% of Jews today are predestined to not repent and to burn in Hell for all eternity.

The Jews and the Jewish religion have not repudiated the Crucifixion. They remain at war with Christianity.
