Vatican Relations With Israel
Headline News,  Historic Documents  &  History
FIRST-EVER:    Relations  between  the    Papacy of  ROME  and    Israel   were   finally  established   in   1993,   94   and   1997    by   John Paul  II     after   almost   2000   years   of    ROME's   hate,   per- secutions   and   atrocities  towards   the   Jews    'for  killing  Jesus'.               [ Papacy of Rome history ]
2nd  Vatican  Council       [ 1965 ]
After centuries of the Popes of  ROME's  hatred & atrocities towards Jews, Vatican II   [1965] finally  deleted  the  term   'perfidious Jews'   [ie. evil, deceitful, treacherous]   from the Catholic prayer on  Good  Friday.     The  new   'Nostra Aetate Declaration'   [1965]   also   finally  re-versed   the   Popes'   accusation  for  hundreds  of   years  that  Jews  were   responsible  for  the   'deicide  [killing of God] '   &  also   finally  reversed  the  Popes'   long-standing  doctrine that  there  exists  a  collective  indictment  against  the  Jews  because of  Christ's crucifixion.
