that a Pope who did his best to find ecunemical commonality between religions should be hated and lambasted for it.

Pope John Paul was clearly a good (though not perfect man) who tried to improve the world by fostering understanding between religions and by emphasising our common humanity. Pity there isn't more of that. Where there is understanding, respect soon follows. Even if he was ethnically a Jew, who cares?

The so called writer of this diatribe is clearly a hate filled racist lunatic and the best thing that can be done with this rubbish is to delete it and not to distribute it.
