The pope's exoneration of Jews?
It was brought to my attention today in Bible Class that there has been some snippets in the newspaper about the exoneration of the Jews by pope Benedict XVI. So I've just purchased two of his many books, including his most recent one where he makes these supposed "statements of exoneration". I am a bit curious about this all, especially from the Roman Church's perspective, because I haven't heard anything about the pope making a formal, verbal statement about it; and if it would be that big of deal, from the pope's perspective, then I would think he'd be a bit more formal. And, I'm curious how much Jews really care all that much about what the pope has to say (or write, in this case). More to come later; including what difference this makes for us as Lutherans.
