Pope John Paul II - Jew

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Religion

A MANCHESTER historian has claimed that Pope John Paul II was Jewish.

Yaakov Wise says his study into the the maternal ancestry of Karol Josez Wojtyla (John Paul II’s real name) has revealed startling conclusions.

Mr Wise, a researcher in orthodox Jewish history and philosophy, said the late Pope’s mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all probably Jewish and came from a small town not far from Krakow.

Religious dogma divides us. That much is apparent…

But are we really talking about the same God?

I like to shock some of my fellow Christians by reminding them that Jesus was never a Christian. He was born and died a Jew. Not that this fact has much bearing on Christianity, but it generally comes as a shocker to those who believe there is this huge gulf between judaism and christianity.
