The following is Bill Donohue’s letter to the editor in the current edition of the Forward in response to the article “Benedict’s ‘Jesus’ and the Jews”:
The essay on Pope Benedict XVI’s second volume of “Jesus of Nazareth” by Rabbi Eugene Korn evinces a mature understanding of the pope’s philosophy and theology.
Sadly, this is something often missed by Catholics, so it is especially gratifying that Rabbi Korn nicely captured the essence of the pope’s work.
