2. The pope is sort of kind of right.....
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (11.28.14)
There is a religious war already waging in the world...
3. Why is it that no pope ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.28.14)
... can bring himself to say the STATE OF ISRAEL as opposed to the Holy Land? Disgusting.
4. Hey Papa, when are your to return the treasures stolen from
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.28.14)
Jewish Temple?
6. Anti-Semitism is a sin
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (11.28.14)
Wow! The church was behind two thousand years of agitating against us Jews. Numerous Jews were killed, robbed and raped all in the name of JC at the instigation of the pope's officials, the bishops, cardinals and local priests. Now he is saying that Anti-Semitism is a sin! How about some restitution!
7. violence in the name of God
Jake ,   Jerusalem   (11.28.14)
We Jews are fighting to have our own homeland, to have a refuge from the very anti-Semitism that we endured in Christian Europe. The Zionist forefathers who were not religious wanted to live in peace with the local Arabs but they would not have it. Today's government is certainly not religious, yet the Arabs are fighting us because we are Jewish (second class people: dihimis) and in their (according to Islam) land. If there is any "violence in the name of God" it is coming from the Arab Islamists, not from us Jews. We want and have always wanted peace and equality. I urge the Pope to give his message to Ab ass.
9. Dearest Brothers and Sisters...
Esther ,   Jerusalem-Israel   (11.28.14)
There's is a worldwide movement on trying to be better. The Shabbat project, f.example. This Shabbat I'm going to try to guard my tong and do the mitzvah of praying, learning and Talking Torah with my family instead. I have so many mistakes. I'll do my best to improve to help my home. Then my building, then hopefully my country. Hopefully one day my little tiny seed can help improve the world. I Love my imperfct persistant people. Have the Best Shabbat!!
10. #7 Jake, the Arabs are fighting us
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.28.14)
because we had no right throwing them out of Israel if the land is not Jewish.
11. TO HIS HOLINESS ,WITH RESPECT
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (11.28.14)
Dear Pope Francis ,please do not worry yourself regarding an escalation here. You do not reside here and so have little reason for concern.
12. Praise God; fear nothing
US citizen ,   US   (11.28.14)
Thy kingdom come oh LORD true and living GOD Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Though rumors of and wars escalate, even so come. Shake the smug faith of humanity in humans. Though humans will say peace peace there will be no comfort of peace in Jerusalem until the KING is enthroned. Thine is the universe LORD GOD, the power and the glory and the SPIRIT of life and peace.

dfgteb ,   fegbrtb   (11.28.14)
this pope has lost credibility with us conservative catholics. This guy appears to have thrown in with the same Marxist worldview responsible for the murder of hundreds of millions of innocent people in the 20th century. Have the cardinals who elected him gone bonkers?
14. Jewish State of Israel does not fight religious wars
C   (11.28.14)
the religious wars are fought exclusively by muslims who consider their religion superior to all others and who consider all lands conquered by muslims at any time as an islamic waqf. christians and all other religious minorities are perfectly safe in israel. they have civil and political rights. israel is not responsible for the horrific slaughter and torture of religious minorities in iraq, syria, iran and elsewhere. nor is Israel responsible for cowardly decisions of western leaders and their refusal to protect christians.
15. As a Supreme Representative of a dogma, his opinions about
(11.29.14)
practically anything have no gravitas or sway within the thinking, independent crowd. So.....whatever: platitudes & bromides and most important: "Piss on Earth" :-))
