Pope Condemns Resurgence of Anti-Semitism in Europe

Newsmax reports:
Pope Francis on Monday condemned a "worrying" resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe and urged the continuation of dialogue between Christians and Jews.

Speaking during a meeting with the Conference of the European Rabbis (CER), a first since the organisation was founded in 1956, the pope called on all Christians to stand firm against anti-Semitism.

"The anti-Semitic tendencies and certain acts of hatred and violence in Europe are of concern. Every Christian cannot but be firm in the condemnation of all forms of anti-Semitism," he said.


He urged the two faiths to continue the dialogue that had progressed "systematically for almost half a century".



No word yet from Strongman Barack Obama on this one.
