31. mandatory Holocaust education for priests
leucippe ,   USA   (01.29.09)
This is the way to go: the price of ordination to the priesthood is 2 weeks of Holocaust immersion education (with perhaps a few side trips to Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, and Treblinka, along with mass graves in Ponary (Vilna), Ukraine (certainly, Babi Yar) and Belarus -- to name only a few. But whatever, the Pope is responsible for opening this hornet's nest
32. his father was a Jew?
Lisa ,   switzerland   (01.29.09)
this guy is a real nutcase- he is betraying his own father- this is beyond contempt.... the journalist wanted a coup- well, he got it- I bet he gets a raise for doing this. As far the reverend father goes: for saying what you did, you should be excommunicated again- for good- thrown out of the church- or maybe better.... we all leave the church.... I am (was) a member of the Catholic church- I officially left it when this happened- who needs a bunch of men in dresses to dictate your life? This is the last straw.... long live Israel!
33. To the dumb prophet
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (01.29.09)
Jews couldn't fight in WW2, because Germans played no games. They systematically exterminated Jews. If Israel was adopting German tactics in 60 years there would be no Arabs between Jordan river and the sea. Learn some history before making stupid statements.
34. more diversion by the vatican
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.29.09)

35. Its time to cut off the Vatican....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (01.29.09)
sorry to say it - but their relations with us are over.
36. oh well
Efrat ,   Washington DC USA   (01.29.09)
Pope Benedict is a Nazi, but at least he's an old Nazi. The next Pope will reverse this nonsense if we can all be patient.
37. Wow... so the Roman Catholic Church is anti-semitic?
Gur   (01.29.09)
So Catholic news channel CNN and the elite media have not been telling us the truth all these years? Unbelievable, shock, horror, hold the presses.
38. Hamas put thier own citizens in harms way...
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (01.29.09)
... and fain a Holocaust supposably pertatrated by Israel.... and the world liberal press swallow it hook line and sinker.....
39. Difference between Gaza Ghetto[Palestinians]
Maria ,   MD   (01.29.09)
and Warsaw Ghetto[Jews]....the first one,are not law abiding citizens,the Jews were a law abiding citizens.The first one were hateful and din't want to go on; the Jews were loving and went on with their lives,they became successful.The Palestinians became refugees and revengeful.They were both victims[when Palestinians were Arabs] in the 40's....see the difference.
40.  Priest: Gas chambers were for disinfection
josef szmuda ,   los angeles usa   (01.29.09)
Answer: Let's bring this priest there for a disinfection treatment. We'll start him off with a nice hot shower! Nice Minyan the Pope has! For shame! josef szmuda
41. A sicko. Converted Jews the worst
Elly ,   Vienna, Austria   (01.29.09)
A real sicko. Converted Jews are the worst.
42. MAYBE THE PRIEST IS A PATIENT OF THE FRIENDLY DOCTOR MENGELE
the labotomist   (01.29.09)
43. I could show him some spots in Poland
Absztyfikant ,   Warsaw, Poland   (01.29.09)
What a disgraceful bastard. He should fall down on his knees (like German chancellor Willy Brandt did in Warsaw) and beg the Almighty for mercy. It's more than an audacity. Nazis deprived all those innocent people of their lives and now this nazi priest is trying to steal their deaths.
44. THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE
(01.29.09)
THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE betwwen the gaza op and the holocaust Israel begged the arabs occupying the gaza to stop shooting rockets into the jewish areas. The arabs pccupying Israel refused as they did yesterday and today and for 8 years. The germans wontanly killed
45. Enough rubbish from uneducated priests
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.29.09)
Ynet stop wasting our valuble time. Start giving Dvr Torah instead of these dreck stories from the dumb unwashed
46. The Disinfectant Was Zyklon B Gas Cannisters
Wisconsin Marshall ,   USA   (01.29.09)
Unfortunately there were sealed rooms packed with Jews at the time the cannisters were opened.The evidence on this is indisputable. What is this pope doing? In my opinion, the Jews are merely a sideshow, a small item on Benedict's agenda. His goal is to unify the Catholic church under a traditional and extremely conservative doctrinal theology. In the USA relations between the Catholic and Jewish communities are quite good. Both sides have tried hard to make it so, being aided by John Paul, the last pope who said, "The Jews are our elder brothers in faith." The hope is that relations here continue to thrive in spite of everything. But the comments of now two priests are so outrageous as to be unacceptable. You can't expect Jews to remain silent.
47. lol..ACCIDENTLY SENT MY COMMENTS
..............DACON9   (01.29.09)
AS I WAS SAYING..LOL THE GERMANS KILLED JEWS NO WARNINGS LIKE ISRAEL DID FOR THE ARABS OCCUPYING ISRAEL KILLED JEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE KILLING GERMANS ISRAEL STOPPED THINKING THE ARABS OCCUPYING OSRAEL LAND UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAVE TO STOP ROCKET ATTACKS. THE GERMANS ONLY STOPPED BECAUSE THE FREE WORLD MADE THE GERMANS STOP. ANY JEW THAT BELIEVES THE PROPAGANDA BY THE LIBERALS OR BY THE ARABS OR ANY JEW THAT SAYS ISRAEL UNNESSASSARILY ATTACK GAZA OR UNPROPORTIONATE RESPONSE SHOULD MOVE TO RAMALLAH WEARING THE JEWISH STAR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR SHIRT WEARING THE TALLET AND TEPHILEEN. THAT JEW MUST BE REQUIRED TO BUY A CEMETARY PLOT BEFORE HE TRAVELS TO RAMALLAH. THANKS DACON9 jewswithviews@gmail.com
48. what do you expect from Pope who
Abraham ,   Jerusalem   (01.30.09)
was a nazi solder in fashist germany? Do you really think people can be 100% changed?
49. "jesus"
Jared ,   Texas, USA   (01.30.09)
Just read the last paragraph and you can see that this man is out of his mind. "... he described the Jewish people as slayers of god..." - what a nutcase.
50. How did he get to that post? Remove him.
Daniel ,   Israel   (01.30.09)
51. Catholic Church True Face...
Paolo Ortenzi ,   Rome, Italy   (01.30.09)
... is antisemitism. Church is far from Jesus teaching as Pluto is far from the Sun, and Priests forget very often that Jesus was a JEW, and also an OBSERVANT RELIGIOUS JEW. They would sell their mother for Catholic supremacy, and as usual now they are selling Jews. Very happy not to be anymore a catholic.
52. Well said, Paolo.
Kev ,   London   (01.30.09)
53. Religious men
Walt k ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (01.30.09)
I always said that sexual abstinence and fast can lead a man to an extreme frustration, to brain harm and to madness... For that reason, catholic priests should be allowed to sleep with nuns... At the end, religious people should be retired after 50 years old. Like that, they wouldn't contaminate the youth with their creepy old prejudices.
54. #49Jared:Isn't that a common belief in vaticanism?
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.30.09)
The beliefe that we "murdered" their 'christ'? Isn't that what the passion of the christ is based on? That the Jews killed him by "forcing" the Romans to crucify him. The Passion" play is re-enacted every year throughout the world under orders of the vatican. It is a reinforcement of the inherent foundation of the vatican and its followers - that the Jews are murderers and will be 'damned to hell' until they accept their misdeeds.
55. a man of God? which one'
Miriam ,   Canada   (01.30.09)
amazing what comes out from under the rocks- this war has brought out every nut under the sun---- journalists seem to find the worst anti-semites and get them to voice their unwanted opinions. People like this are stupid, and should not be interviewed, period.... they don't live in the real world, don't know what they are talking about- it might be headlines for a few hours, and then people forget about it- well... except the people on TB....? This is not world news- one or two stupid priests are not the entire Christian world- thank God. There are plenty of good people who are willing to stand up for what is right and for Israel.....they never make it into a paper, unfortunately. I support Israel! Shabbat Shalom.
56. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRIESTS ARE REHABILITATED FOR DENY
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (01.30.09)
FOR DENYING THE HOLOCAUST. A PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET AND NOW ALL THE ANTI-SEMITES ARE GOING TO COME OUT
57. Pardon for Priests
Anthony Rodrigo ,   Basildon   (01.30.09)
As a Catholic I am ashamed that the Pope has pardoned and rehabilitated these priests who deny the holocaust. It may have been a well meaning act by the Pope. But, it sends the wrong signal. IT IS WRONG.
58. He just wants a little boy
Daniel Rossi ,   USA   (01.30.09)
This pedophile belongs in jail along with the rest of these "priests". Why give this a**hole any coverage?
59. Pardon Hatred? No Dice
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (01.30.09)
Love the comparison to Allies bombing of Nazi Reich. Since this man is upposed to be educated, why is there no mention of Nazi Germany's bombing of Britain? Slice it any way you want, the man is an anti-semite. The pope is a German Catholic and as such keeps the fires of anti-semitism burning. Suggest he stay in the Vatican. PERMENANTLY.
60. I am now "enlightened"
leo ,   bklyn   (01.30.09)
That means that my Grandparents, four Uncles, four Aunts and 20 Cousins died from an over dose of antibiotics.
