It seems that Pope Benedict has again annoyed some Jews - this time over his decision to have the late Pope Pius considered for election to sainthood. On a prior occasion it was due to his lifting of the excommunication of a bishop who was forever denying the Holocaust. Then, there was the deal with the Latin Mass. And his visit to some Jewish site (where he did not mention the murders at the concentration camps or something to that effect) also annoyed them. In the meantime, Benedict has perfected a way of just brushing the complaints to one side and pushing forward. One of these days, Benedict will propose a merger of Church and State as a realistic solution to tensions around the world. That might annoy everybody, except perhaps this topless woman.
