Jewish leaders around the world used words like
repugnant, obscene and offensive, after Pope Benedict's personal preacher, Father Raniero
Cantalamessa, in a Friday sermon in St Peter's
Basilica, compared attacks on the Church and pope to
collective violence against Jews. In 2007, Benedict restored a Good Friday prayer for the conversion of Jews that Jewish leaders deemed offensive. Another sore spot is the ongoing sainthood cause for Pope Pius
XII.
