«Catholics and Jews are brothers and sisters deeply bound by their fervent belief in the one creator of heaven and earth».
Pope Benedict XVI at the Park East Synagogue in New York just before the start of the Jewish Sabbath, in April 2008.
This are viewpoints of Rabbi Dr. Eugene Korn and Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin. They have published a letter in Jerusalem Post. This is their conclusion and advice, in regards to Catholic-Jewish relations:
The reconciliation of the Church with the Jewish people is one of God’s great blessings, one that inspires all people around the world. If the Church and the Jewish people can make peace with each other after nearly 2,000 of enmity, then peace is possible between any two peoples anywhere.
Recognizing that Catholics and Jews are brothers and sisters deeply bound by their fervent belief in the one creator of heaven and earth who revealed Himself to the people Israel is one of the miracles of the last century – and it is too important for Jews, for Catholics and for the world to allow to lapse.
Rabbi Dr. Eugene Korn
Jews and Catholics share a common spiritual patrimony and all people of good will should pray that both the Church and the Jewish people continue to work for this historic reconciliation grounded in mutual understanding, respect and equality.

My comment:
It sounds loving and sweet that Catholics and Jews serve the same God, called the creator. But if that is the truth about «god», than also the Muslims should be included.
Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin
But the this kind of «unity» is not based on the truth. Because the creator is a tribune God, of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In fact all the three major faith`s on Earth rejects the tribune God, and in particular that the Son is the only way to our Father in Heaven. In Judaism «Jesus» is not found to be the Messiah. In the Catholic faith His saving blood is denied, and His glory not to be found in obedience to His words, but rather in worship of statues of wood and stone.
A unity outside of the faith in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, is falsehood. It will only lead to the final false universal religion of all faiith`s lead to the one and only God the creator. Omitting the need to repent from sins, and accept the only valid redemption that is found in the blood of Jesus.
I500 protestors of the Popes visit in Rio forced the Pontiff to proceed using a helicopter. An effigy of the Pontiff was burned.
The Pope is safe, protected by the President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff.
Pope Francis had to arrive at his welcoming reception at Guanabara Palace in Rio de Janeiro by helicopter on Monday night as protests gathered outside during his first foreign trip to Brazil.
The Pontiff’s plans were changed at the last minute after around 1,500 demonstrators arrived and burned an effigy tied to a lamppost. There were later clashes with police as officers tried to disperse the crowd with six detained and at least three injured.
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Here is another source:
But just after Pope Francis left a meeting with President Dilma Rousseff riot police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon on hundreds of protesters demonstrating against the £35 million cost of the visit.
The 76-year-old was lifted into the heavens above the state governor’s palace by helicopter to avoid the protests.
Angry protestors burn an effigy of the Pope, claiming waist of public money as reason.

My comment:
The global media do not seems to give the World a fair coverage of the Popes visit to Brazil. No doubt, all nations have ambassadors in the Vatican, honoring the “Holy see”.
Keep also in mind that all who oppose the Pope is not evangelical Christians. Many secular people have called the bluff and the crimes of the Roman Catholic Church. Radicals who use violence are not followers of Jesus the Messiah. All use of violence is regrettable.
The truth is hard. The Pope supports dictatorship.Some of the riot police used tear gas against the protestors.Other police officers tried to stop protestors from leaving home.A lot of people gathered to see the burning of an effigy of the Pope
First: It must be said that Jesus the Messiah also escaped people who tried to kill him. But using neither donkeys, nor helicopters, The Messiah just walked right through the crowed.
Second: Jesus never called the police on those who opposed Him. Nor did any of his disciples.
The Pope represents a Church that supported fascism and military dictatorship in Brazil for decades. The Worldly and fleshy authority granted this religious movement the right to become the state religion, controlling the faith of people from their infancy. Not unlike how Catholicism became state religion in Fascist Italy from 1929 to 1944.
In their millions, Brazilians have now discerned the Papacy of not being a seat of Christianity. The Pontiff and his priesthood represent corruption, falsehood and spiritual bondage to what is wrong.
Since the Pope is a false Apostle, they do no longer wants his curses on their soil. True Evangelical Christianity still stand on the reformation. If the curses shall be broken over the land, the Papacy needs to be shown the door.
Activists in Brazil say they will also gather “to protest the 90 million dollars in public spending for the papal visit”.
The “Pope” rests in the sand on Copacabana beach in Rio.
Some 10,000 police officers and more than 14,000 soldiers will be on duty during the pope’s visit, and six Brazilian military aircraft will provide transportation for the pontiff. The helicopters will let Francis avoid Rio’s snarled traffic and the dangers of land travel. This is Pope Francis’ first international visit.
Latin America’s first Pope arrived in Brazil on Monday to attend a youth festival in the world’s biggest catholic country amid what state security officials have said is ”the biggest police operation” in Rio de Janeiro’s history.
More and more Brazilians have understood that they have lived in bondage to an anti-Christ.
A poll conducted in June this year by the Folha Group showed that 57 per cent of Brazilians call themselves Catholic today, a drop from the 64 per cent six years ago.
While Jesus the Messiah said “My kingdom is not of the world”, the Popes kingdoms are very much of this world.
A Christians from Brazil in Jerusalem.
For Brazil to spend 90 million dollars during the Pope’s visit, makes the pontiff one of the most fleshy spender of public money.
It is huge disgrace, that the claimed “Vicar of Christ” loots this thread world country for its public funds.
No doubt, that most Brazilians are able to see what kind of antichrist they have been following.
While more than 90 per cent of the Brazilians were Roman Catholics one generation ago, only 54 per cent consider them selves Catholic today. Brazil has witness the most spectacular revival of evangelical Christianity, since the Reformation 500 years ago.
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
The new Evangelical Christians in Brazil, are not only renouncing the cult of the Vatican. They are also embracing Christian Zionism, and support the Jewish state of Israel. For many years the Brazil have been the number one nation, being the largest group in the Jerusalem march, during the feat of tabernacles, in Hebrew the feast of “Sukkot”.
Surely Brazil is on of the main battlefield of Christianity on Earth. 500 years of bondage to the false Christendom presented by the Papacy seems to be broken.
Corpses of dead Popes are kept in the crypt in the Vatican. The body of Pope Celestino V is kept in the open in Central Italy.
The former Pope pray besides the remains of Pope Celestino V.
Catholic worship of corpses, skulls and bones has its origin in the crypt in St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican.
A total of 91 popes are buried in crypts in the grotto in St. Peters Basilica in Rome. This including popes like Innocent IX, Benedicts XII and XV, Pius XI and Paul VI.
But not all the Popes are buried and kept for display inside the Vatican. Pope Celestino is kept in the open of St. Maria of Collemaggio Church in L’Aquila in central Italy. The roof this Church came down during the earthquake on April 6th 2009.
The Pope pray in front of the corpse of a Pope, who died 700 years ago.The Pope touch the glass coffin, and lead other Catholic priest into worship of the dead Pontiff.
This is the official story of the Pope, who pay “homage” to a dead pope.
Pope Benedict XVI blesses the faithful in front of the remains of Pope Celestine V at the end of a mass in Sulmona, Italy, Sunday, July 4, 2010. The Pontiff had traveled to the central Italian town to pay homage to Celestine V, the 13th-century hermit pontiff who resigned after saying he was not up to the task. Benedict urged the faithful Sunday to learn from Celestine’s sober and simple life. He praised Celestine for his detachment from material things such as money and clothes.
The Pope paied “homage”to the only Pope that has resigned from the Papacy. Not only did he resigned, but he was arrested by the Pope that succeeded him.
Pope Celestine knew he was ill prepared for the papacy, and actually resigned from the Petrine office on December 13, 1294. Now back to being “Fra Pietro”, he had hoped to return to hermetical life. But his successor, Pope Boniface VIII, feared that the ex-pope could be used in an attempt to unseat him. The Pope confined him to a house arrest, and though he managed to escape for a time, he was eventually confined to a tower in Castel Fumone. There, though not mistreated, he died of an infection from an absess on May 19, 1296. His remains were transferred to Sta. Maria di Colemaggio in 1317.
This contact between the Pope and a dead Pope, sets the example for worship of corpses, skulls and bones in the Roman Catholic Church.
Did Pope Celestinie V die with his shoes on? The Pope greets the crowed who have already been lead into prayer and worship.This is the place Pope Celestino V was put up for display. Before the earthquake in central Italy brought his remains down on the floor.
There is absolutely no Bible verse that approve digging up the dead from their grave. Neither is there any Biblical defense for keeping corpses, skulls and bones for display inside Churches and Chapels.
Many Catholics will be surprised, by the high numbers of corpses of Popes, who have been kept inside the Vatican. But any dead Popes are put on display in Churches in other Italian cities.
We need to investigate this matter, and look at pictures of this pagan practice. The Papal system has kept more dead persons for display, than Communist Russia ever did in the Kremlin in Moscow.
From Wikipedia:
There are over 100 tombs within St. Peter’s Basilica (extant to various extents), many located in the Vatican grotto, beneath the Basilica. These include 91 popes, St. Ignatius of Antioch, Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, and the composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Exiled Catholic British royalty James Francis Edward Stuart and his two sons, Charles Edward Stuart and Henry Benedict Stuart, are buried here, having been granted asylum by Pope Clement XI. Also buried here are Maria Clementina Sobieska, wife of James Francis Edward Stuart, Queen Christina of Sweden, who abdicated her throne in order to convert to Catholicism, and Countess Matilda of Tuscany, supporter of the Papacy during the Investiture Controversy. The most recent interment was Pope John Paul II, on April 8, 2005. Beneath, near the crypt, is the recently discovered vaulted fourth-century “Tomb of the Julii”.
Plenty of Popes are kept for display inside the crypt in St. Peter Basillica in the Vatican statehood.
The corpse of pope Paul XXIII looks a litle bit like Santa Claus.The red dress and the read cap makes this waxed body look very different from other corpses.
This dead Pope is not put for public display. The Vatican priests even offer Mass at the altar, on top of the tomb of “Blessed John XXIII”. The priest who offer the mass, is Dom Louis Marie, Abbot of Le Barroux.
