[Sca-cooks] Vatican Library

[Carper, Rachel]

Which Pope was it who apologized to holding the Jews responsible for the
death of Jesus? That one floored me. I thought *I* could hold a grudge. 

Of course not Christian so I don't really pay attention to the Pope or
Vatican unless it's to say "Shame shame". Which makes my opinion
uneducated and probably irrelevant.

*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.
