1. Tolerance & kindness are good,
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   www.netzarim.co.il   (11.11.13)
but to be our "little brother" requires turning to the practice of Torah. We welcome all who do their utmost to practice Torah.
2. Pope Francis is one of the best leaders of the Vatican...
Rafi ,   US   (11.11.13)
... in decades. (He did not even have to mention Krystalnacht)
3.  1984 ? 1984 ? 1984 ? Surely One is Enough
Roland Seener ,   London England   (11.11.13)
4. Just do not forget Vaticanes policy..
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.11.13)
The Vaticane does not mentioning a word about the silent diaspora of Christians from the muslim countries in the ME, due to abuse and violence from the muslims, but instead the Vatican criticize the buildings in Israel. THAT is kind of "hollow", and the popes words have no value. His words are blown away by the wind, similar to his "hoax", self-made stand-in position..
5. We're all on the same page
Dr Watson ,   London England   (11.11.13)
Iranian Muslims are waiting for the hidden imam. Christians are waiting for the second coming. Jews are waiting for Moshiach. It's not easy to please everyone. How will the Muslims take it if the hidden imam turns out to be the Lubavitcher Rebbe? .What if . . .
6. Jesus the Messiah
(11.12.13)
Jesus Christ is crowned with glory and honour because of suffering of death – through Adam death entered the world and through Jesus Christ death will be destroyed when Jesus Christ appeared.
7. Why is anyone expecting "love&respect" between two totally
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.12.13)
opposing doctrines, fighting to have their falsehood presented as The Truth? Just politics of Men of Cloth/ Leaders of Sheep.
8. brothers? like Essau hated Jacob
Larry ,   LA   (11.12.13)
Oh please. Since when has the church ever treated Jews as brothers? The church has not only a history of lying and inciting against the Jews, but also in preventing the non-Jews from seeking educations for fear that when they would learn a bit of history they would understand that the church is one lie, not a small lie but BIG LIE, just like this statement that we Jews are their brothers. PLEASE !
9. Essau and Jacob reconciled.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.12.13)
10. We are good enough to forgive...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.12.13)
but not stupid enough to trust again.
11. I do hope that you, .....................................
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (11.13.13)
Jewish brothers and sisters, accept and trust in Pope Francis' words. Our Catholic Church, renewed through II Vatican Council, has struggled to erase shameful past deeds against your people. God Almighty wants full reconciliation between us. Of course, you will never forget the sufferings, but a better future can be built. Shalom.
12. Luiz F.Haddad.We welcome ..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.13.13)
reconciliation , Trust will be possible when Catholic missionaries will stop trying to convert our children. We too hope for a better future built on truth .Shalom
13. 6Messias? How can the a so called..
(11.13.13)
son of G-D be a descendant of King David,which the Messias will be,if you believe the Scriptures?
14. 12 - 2000 years and you still haven't learned
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (11.13.13)
Learn from someone who knows Christianity, a former Christian: evangelism ("converting your children") is as much a core pillar of Christianity as Halkahah is a core pillar of Torah for Jews. You pleas for Christians to stop evangelism is as effective as their pleas that you stop being a Jew. Learn the first remedy to be effective in 2,000 years, the same thing that motivated me to get out of Christianity: contradictions in Christian doctrines and Church "history" -- then convert Christian children to Torah. Or continue to deny and defy the encroachment of 21st century reality and go down with the zombies.
15. Christianity retrofit to Judaism
(11.13.13)
Now for the Vatican to open their records and "reveal" the whereabouts of Christian/ Catholic children of Israel. It's entirely feasible.
