John Allen, Jr. opens his remarks to the ADL meeting with this joke,

“I know you have a jam-packed schedule and limited time, so as Henry the Eighth said to each of his wives, ‘I won’t keep you long,’”

Wow, joking about the person responsible for the deaths of thousands of people not to mention the souls lost.  As well as creating his own religion, Henry VIII helped destroy the institution of marriage.  Guess Allen was playing to his perfidious kosher audience.

He then discusses Francis’ trip to Rio in 2013 for World Youth Day.

When he arrived and started to step out of the “Popemobile,” a group of Brazilian nuns rushed him “shrieking like a bunch of teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert.”

Can you picture that?  Did they throw their underwear at him?

After dropping the above bombshells, Allen gets to the meat of his message:

In regards to Catholic/Jewish relations under this pope, Allen told the ADL group,“You basically won the lottery.”

Most Latin American cardinals have no experience with Judaism, and many are pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli, Allen said. Bergoglio is the exception.

“Pope Francis regards the relationship with Judaism as the primordial interfaith relationship of the Catholic church and the one that, by far, is the most important and in which he is the most invested,” Allen said. “Ladies and gentlemen, you have a friend in Pope Francis.”  MORE
