http://tinyurl.com/52uzc Pope's abortion-Holocaust remark panned Items compiled from Tribune news services Published February 20, 2005 FRANKFURT, GERMANY -- A German Jewish leader criticized the pope Saturday for making what he called an unacceptable comparison between abortion and the Holocaust in a new book. Paul Spiegel, the head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, told the Netzeitung daily that Pope John Paul II's comparison reflects similar "unacceptable" statements made by Roman Catholic Cardinal Joachim Meisner in Cologne. Spiegel was referring to a passage in the pope's book, "Memory and Identity: Conversations Between Millenniums," where the pontiff draws a broad comparison between abortion and the Holocaust, saying both came about when people decided to usurp "the law of God." ------------------------ Yahoo!
