Pope exonerates Jews for Jesus' death in new book

I wonder how many books he wrote for the Luftwaffe?

"Care and Cleaning of the 88mm Anti-Aircraft Gun."

The idiot doesn't understand Criminal law or the term "exoneration", I think the dumbass meant to say "pardon" in any case. Its one hell of challenge convicting an entire nation of a crime that cannot be demonstrated to have been committed due to a lack of evidence that said victim actually existed, and its quite impossible to introduce evidence to the contrary when none was ever put froth. Let's face it he sure wasn't going to do it based on DNA evidence alone now was he?

While he's at it the moron may as well exonerate Darth Vader for murdering Obi-Wan Kenobi, that way the book will sell more copies.

I guess Herr Von Popenfuhrer disputes his own gospels.

Matthew 27 20-23

20 The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus. 21 The governor asked them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?"

"Barabbas!" they answered.

22 Pilate asked them, "What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Messiah?"

They all answered, "Crucify Him!" (D) [c]

23 Then he said, "Why? What has He done wrong?"

But they kept shouting, "Crucify Him!" all the more.

If only Hitler had won the war he wouldn't have to write such bullshit!!!

Pope exonerates Jews for Jesus' death in new book

I didn't know he wrote fiction.

Min;
Pope John Paul 2 exonerated the Jews for the death of Jesus. IE no case to answer. I thought it was jolly decent of the old fart,after only 2000 years. The arrogance is stunning. Of course the proddies all said "Fuck you!" as the gestured simply reinforced the view of many that the Pope is the antichrist.


Biblical question Min; Is "Barbabbas" a name or a title,like 'everyman'? IE Bar=Son of "Aba"=father/daddy. "Barabbas" = son of the father/daddy's boy? Or is that too obvious? I think the whole account of the trial and execution of Jesus is fanciful,including the convoluted and clumsy attempts to force Jesus to meet prophecy for the Messiah.(and failing miserably).

When it comes to some parts of the old testament, and most of the four gospels, I say there is a "mystic" tradition that has been lost, that helps people expect seasonal changes, and other natural occurances in the area the "gnosis" was originally written in. I also expect some poetry in it as well as other such whimsy..it is a "passion play" for Christs sakes (pun intended)

Bar Abbas does mean "son of the father." Kind of like John Q. Public.

Frankly the whole story sounds like horseshit. For one thing, there is no indication anywhere...other than in the fucking gospels...of a prisoner release on Passover. Crucifixion was reserved for slaves and rebels. Common criminals were executed in the arena. The notion that a Roman governor would release a dangerous rebel because a mob asked for it is absurd. The notion that anyone would give a shit about a slave one way or the other is even more absurd.

Slaves and rebels did not get "trials"...they were simply nailed up. I always laugh my ass off when someone claims that the Jewish rebels on Masada committed suicide to avoid "slavery." Slavery was the least of their impending problems.
