The Pope continues to make news (negative news) with comments contained in his new book, which will be released this coming week. Now the Jews are upset with his comments pertaining to Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust. All of this nonsense really is amusing. There is nothing like religion to get silly people emotional and all bent out of shape. TGO

ROME – A Holocaust survivors group is voicing dismay over Pope Benedict XVI’s assertion that wartime pontiff Pius XII saved more Jews than anyone else.
Elan Steinberg, an official of the group, said Benedict’s comments “fill us with pain and sadness.” Some scholars and Jewish leaders contend Pius didn’t speak out enough against mass deportation and killing of Jews by Germany’s Nazi regime.
Benedict in a book to be published Tuesday contends that Pius was a “great righteous man” who “`saved more Jews than anyone else.”
Steinberg in a statement said singling out Pius for praise in the pope’s book could hurt Vatican-Jewish relations.
