I hope that they all did the right thing, and bowed down and kissed His Holiness, the Pope's ring. A children's book is all they could afford to give to the Pope already? Oi vay!

while you are asking the Pope to help free your son,why don't you also ask him to help free thousands of Palestinian inculding women,children and Palestinian PM's held in Israeli jails ???? SHAME ON YOU .

He is the one we bow to. That impostor is nothing more that a (con) man (ex-nazi) of blood and flesh

children held in Israeli jails ??? will you try to help free Palestinian PM's held in Israeli jails ??? Hypocrisy at it's best.!!

I can't imagine a majority of the leaders in the middle east actually kissed his ring. "A children's book is all they could afford to give to the Pope already?" Why do we need to give the pope anything at all? He has Israel's hospitality, that should be enough.

with the release of Gilad Shalit and to meet with his parents. What a grevious ordeal this has been for them.

distress, with all the sorrow this will not do, don't politicize the faith system, it can backfire once any deal will go sour, If I was the pope I wouldn't promise him anything.
