“Lerner seems to think Jews should be deeply worried that the Pope believes exclusively in Christianity—that he ‘publicly critiques all those inside the Church who are tolerant enough to think that other religions may have equal validity as a path to God.’ This, in Lerner’s mind, is ‘a slippery slope toward anti-Semitism…’”

Oh, please. Shmegegi Lerner should sit down, take a few deep breaths and get a serious grip on reality.

Pope Benedict XVI had better believe in the exclusivity of Christ. If not, he would not be a Christian. Thank God, the new pope won’t distort the Gospels of Jesus, who we Christians believe is the true, single pathway to God.

Lerner’s insinuation that the new pope’s election is anti-Semitic is pure meshugass. Christians remain friends of Jews. Perhaps Lerner and Jews of his paranoid ilk should focus on non-Christians, including secularists and particularly Muslims, who truly endanger Judaism.

p>Christians and Jews share theological commonality through Yahweh or Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And we do not forget that our and the world’s Savior — Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, or Jesus the Messiah, who is the Son of David as well as Son of God—was once a Jewish carpenter. br> — C.
