| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Benedict XVI has had to contend with invidious comparisons to his predecessor from the outset of his pontificate and this has been reflected in Jewish attitudes towards him as well. At the same time a selective loss of memory has occurred in relation to Pope John Paul II. By examining the documents and initiatives of Cardinal Ratzinger, as well as Pope Benedict XVI, this article shows that the idea that Benedict XVI is lacking commitment to the Catholic-Jewish relationship could not be further from the truth. |
