“In May the Pope goes to the Holy Land, partly to repair the damage done to Jewish-Christian relations by the Holocaust denial episode.”

Partly? What else is the Holy Gaffe-man going to fix?

“Unless the Vatican gets a grip on its PR operation, stepping into the minefield of Arab-Israeli relations could set off explosive “mishaps” with consequences not only for relations between the three great monotheistic faiths but the wider Middle East.”

The Pope is in Africa right now, telling the natives to stop using condoms which prevent the spread of AIDS, a Papal dictum which has pretty much all of Europe in an uproar of condemnation…. or would that be condom nation?

This is the same Pope who took a rabid Holocaust denier bishop back into the Vatican fold, enraging Jews to the point that they cut off all communication with the Vatican and forcing the Pope to force the bishop to deny his denial. Orkk, whatta mess. Also the same Pope who recited in a speech the words of a 14th-Century Christian emperor who said Muhammad had brought the world only “evil and inhuman” things. While this is true, it sure upset a lot of Muslims.

Now he’s going to the Holy Land and fix things all up nice and tidy for the Jews and Muslims. Man, this should be fun to watch.
