For all his pathetic attempts to be another John Paul the Great, B16 got a bit of celestial assistance on this weekend's trip to Auschwitz.
It's great that he is extending JPII's outreach to Jews and making it crystal clear that the persecution of Judaism must be eradicated from the tool kit of Christianity.
So whether the rainbow was a divine sign or a fortuitous meteorological phenom, let us hope that the Church's tolerance and welcome for our Jewish brothers and sisters is long-lasting.
