There was a decent article about it on NPR. You can listen to it here:
http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1419476

Basically, it portrays the jews as conniving Christ killers which was a
portrayal apparently added during medieval times and it's something that the
Catholics have decided isn't a correct representation. The Pope is trying to
build bridges to the jewish people, not inflame more hatred.

At least that's what I recall from the article.
