Is “Pope Francis Good for the Jews”?

Wall Street Journal editorial says "Pope Francis is good for the Jews"

Three questions for the Wall Street Journal

By Michael Hoffman

1. In the Wall Street Journal editorial (see below) by Francis X. Rocca, Rome bureau chief for the Catholic News Service, modern popes are praised for repudiating the apostles, popes and saints of the past who sought to convert Jews and Judaics from Talmudic falsehood to the truth of Jesus Christ. Rocca's definition of a rehabilitated Catholic is someone who cooperates with Judaic self-worship and abandons Christ-rejecting Judaics to their damned condition. Is this not a virulent form of "Jew hate," disguised as reconciliation? Is Pope Francis actually “good for the Jews” -- or a terrible enemy who has abandoned them to eternal perdition?

2. Why did Jesus Christ incarnate on earth if not to convert the Jews and to have his followers convert all people, including the Judaics of the present? How can "Jews" be exempt from the Gospel commission to convert in light of Jesus' words in Matthew 15:24?

3. How is any "convenant" with the God of Israel maintained by adherents of Orthodox Judaism who nullify the Word of God in favor of their Babylonian Talmud, and the pagan, soothsayer traditions from which it is derived?

More on the Pope's betrayal of the Gospel at the Rome synagogue

 I have added three photos and additional data to the previous reporting on the pope's pilgrimage to the synagogue of Rome on January 17.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POPE BENEDICT XVI AND THE APOSTLE PAUL:

"...he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus."

(Acts 18: 28)

To refute the heirs of the Pharisees now, in 2010, as Paul did in the first century A.D., is a sinful "scourge" according to the "Vicar of Christ on earth," Benedict XVI.

Opposition to the religion of Judaism (Mark 3:6; Mark 7: 1-8;  Matthew 3:7; Matthew 5:20; Matthew 12:14 & 24; Matthew 15:1-20; Matthew 21:33-41; Matthew 22:15;  Matthew 23: 13, 15, 23, 25-27 & 29; Luke 11: 42-43;  Luke 16:14; John 9:22; John 10:31; John 11:8 & 53-54; John 18:14; John 19:7, 12, 38; Acts 12:3; Acts 13:45 & 50; Acts 14:2 & 19; Acts 17:5; Acts 20:3 & 19; Acts 21:27; Acts 23:12 & 27; Acts 25: 2, 7 & 15; Acts 26:21; 1 Corinthians 1:23; Galatians 2:13;  I Thessalonians 2:14-16;  Rev. 2:9; Rev. 3:9) is a scourge: 

In his speech at the synagogue, which, according to Britain's Catholic Herald newspaper (Jan. 22) was "loudly applauded" by the Judaics who were present, Pope Benedict apologized for the "failings of [the Church's] sons and daughters"* and begged "forgiveness for all that could in any way have contributed to the scourge of anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism."

*"...failings of [the Church's] sons and daughters" e.g. the "failings" of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, the Fathers of the early Church; St. Thomas Aquinas; St. Vincent Ferrer; St. Maximilian Kolbe etc.

THE REVOLUTIONARY OVERTHROW OF THE GOSPEL IS ACKNOWLEDGED:

Rabbi David Rosen, a key player in interreligious dialogue and a former Chief Rabbi of Ireland, explains the shift in Catholic attitudes to Judaism. He says that there "is no transformation comparable to this development of relationships between Catholics and Jews. To have seen a community first as rejected by God, belonging to the Devil and to then shift to viewing that same community as the authentic roots of Christianity; and as Pope John Paul II put it, 'the dearly beloved elder brother of the Church of the original Covenant never broken and never to be broken', that is a mind-boggling transformation."

"...turning revolutionary moments into institutions"

The visit to the synagogue, Rabbi Rosen says, was turning revolutionary moments into institutions. He said: "By visiting the Roman synagogue Benedict XVI is making it very difficult for a subsequent pope not to pay such a visit. John Paul II's visit could have been a one-off, but now with Benedict XVI's visit there is a sense of continuity."
