Deacon Kandra reports ... Pope Francis says due to “our common roots” with the Jewish people, “a Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!” Now, I know we've tussled about this before, dear readers.  And I'm well aware that none of you is "anti-semitic", and you don't "hate Jews", but Jews are the problem and who can say what is a Jew anyway and how dare I defend the enemies of Christ and the Jews killed Kennedy and the Jews elected Obama and the Jews are hiding under our beds and the Jews ...
