*wry grin* the recent hoo-ha about demanding all the Jewish books back
from the Vatican is based on the apology John Paul II made for the
centuries of Catholic Anti-Semitism, and how John Paul ought to atone for
his sins and the sins of his church by giving the books to Israel before
he dies.  Somehow, I suspect that the hurry is to get the books from John
Paul before he dies and they appoint a Pope who didn't go to school with a
Jewish kid and really hasn't ever apologized for anything yet.

Ob food comment: gossip claims that Karol Wojtyla imported some Polish
nuns to the Vatican so that he could have good home cooking occasionally.
