Looks like sex abuse victims aren't the only people who have issues with the Pope. Sometimes I, Scanner Katie, don't understand my Semitic brothers and sisters. Apparently some of them were upset that the Pope didn't pencil in any Jew-Pope meet-ups during his trip to the U.S. So Ratzinger added them in and agreed to address some synagogues. Then some Jews got annoyed because his Friday night visit doesn't really jive with their Shabbat schedule. And, as if this wasn't bad enough, tomorrow Passover starts, which makes Pope Jew quality time impossible. What I don't get is why Jews are freaking out over not getting QT with a Pope who was in Hitler Youth.
