Benedict XVI waived the Jews of being responsible for the death of Jesus

Pope Benedict XVI waived the Jews of being guilty of Jesus was sentenced to death in the second part of his book "Jesus of Nazareth", which goes on sale next March 10. In the book, the Vatican today advanced some chapters, the pontiff said that when the Gospel of Matthew speaks of "all people" called for the crucifixion of the Christ "is not expressed an historical event." "How could all the people (Jews) to be present at that time to ask for the death of Jesus?" Asks the pope, who acknowledges that this erroneous interpretation has been "fatal" consequences, referring to the charges of deicide Jews for centuries, which led to his persecution.

Benedict XVI added that "reality" historic right appears in the gospels of John and Mark. "According to John, were just Jews, but that term does not indicate at all that they were the people of Israel as such, unless it was a racist. John was Jewish, like Jesus and all his family. In John that expression rigorously precise and limited meaning, refers to the aristocracy of the Temple (of Jerusalem), "writes Pope Ratzinger.

Mark adds that expands the circle of the accused "ochlos", the mass supported Barabbas and had mobilized to get out amnesty on the occasion of the upcoming Passover. "The real group of the accusers are the temple of contemporary circles and mass supported Barabbas", precise, categorically.

Matthew on the phrase "And all the people answered, His blood be on us and on our children" (Jesus before Pilate and Barabbas front), Benedict XVI says that Christians remember that the blood of Jesus "speaks a different language that of Abel. " "I do not want revenge or punishment but reconciliation.

It is not shed from some, but it pours for everyone. There is a curse, but redemption and salvation," says the Bishop of Rome. The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), launched the Church into the twenty-promulgated the declaration "Nostra Aetate", with which Catholics dropped the charges of deicide against the Jews.

In the text, the pope says that Jesus was not a "political revolution" and that his message and his behavior did not constitute a threat to Roman rule. Benedict XVI indicated that on the date of the Last Supper, the Synoptics (Mark, Luke and Matthew) are wrong and John is right, because the process when the authorities Jesus had celebrated the Passover and had to remain pure.

He claims that the Last Supper was not a ritual Passover meal as the Jews and that Christ was crucified not on the day of the Jewish holiday, but awake. On the figure of Judas, Benedict XVI writes that Satan entered into him and failed to free himself and explains that, in addition to treason, his second tragedy was failing to believe in forgiveness.

"His remorse becomes despair. Sees only himself and his darkness, he sees the light of Jesus. His repentance is destructive, not true," says Pope. The book also covers the Kingdom of God and ensures that only the truth can lead to the liberation of man and the great dictatorships only live through the ideological lie.

The second part of the book "Jesus of Nazareth" will be presented March 10 at the Vatican and is dedicated to the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, the most decisive moments in the life of Jesus. The volume is published by the Libreria Editrice Vaticana (LEV), which has all copyrights of Benedict XVI, and will be available in seven languages, including Spanish and Portuguese.

According to Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, the pope is entering as the third part of the book, dedicated to Jesus' childhood and the beginning of his preaching. The first part of "Jesus of Nazareth, of 448 pages, was published in 2007 and it showed the Pope a Jesus" real, historic "and said that Christ is a figure" historically sensible and convincing.
