Jewish leaders to Pope: Purge the Church of anti-semites

Rabbi Arthur Schneier, whose New York synagogue Benedict visited last year and who will read the group’s address to the pope on Thursday, told Reuters: “I am a Holocaust survivor. I lost my family in Auschwitz. I am a witness of man’s inhumanity to man. Therefore it was a despicable ideology that has no place, no room, in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council.”
