The pope (this pope anyways) would like us better if we didn't exist.

| Now, I haven't been there when he spoke in Mauthausen. Nevertheless,
what I heard yesterday morning on the Austrian radio (shortwave band),
was that he actually DID mention the Jews. He seems to have changed his
mind in the last minute?
I have no printed article to confirm this, though. The Austrian Press
Agency and Austrian Radio are usually stating facts correctly.

P.S.: Dangerous deduction line, which you're following:
Doesn't mention Jews --> doesn't like Jews --> would prefer
Jews not to exist.

| I live in a Catholic country that, together with Ireland and Poland,
it is considered the most 'devote' country. The Pope has come here
many times (two in the last five years).
He never mentioned the Jews. He did mention South Africa and the
blacks. Jews here are minority. Maybe that's why he didn't mention
them. There are no blacks in my country: but he DID mention them.
Press here quoted the whole speech in Austria. He didn't mention
the Jews: he circled verbally using an unstranlatable paragraph.
And I'm not so worried about mentioning Jews. I would have preferred
him to mention Nazism looking direclty to 'waldheim's eyes...
The Catholic Church here is clearly anti-Jew. Franco was clearly
anti-Jew. He had it easier: there are no Jews here, a couple of
them. But that doesn't qualify to avoid mentioning past atrocities.
The Pope is even clever: when he went to Chile, he didn't mention
clearly dictatorship and unjustice. I'm still wondering what could
have happened if Ali Agca were a Jew...
