I'm totally floored. He truly has a warped notion of the early Church and salvation. Of course this is his "private opinion" say the Neo Caths. What insanity... Sigh

I would say that a "warped notion" of the early Church and salvation does not quite explain the pope's utterances. He, in fact, totally denies the history of the early Church. Every single Biblical verse and passage depicting a missionary effort to convert the jews is implicitly denied. Had Sts. Paul and Peter subscribed to Ratzinger's formula for an automatic future conversion of the jews, there would have been no early Church- no Church period, since all of the early Church was composed of Jєωιѕн converts. Just look at the Acts of the Apostles. Not until you get to chapter 10 of that book, do you have one recorded gentile Christian convert. Ratzinger is a no-holds-barred heretic!

I suppose he is saying Christ converted an original # of Jews and then they were sent out to convert the Gentiles? If some Jews wanted to join them, then fine, but their mission was not to convert existing Jews? I'm not sure how he holds this position with a straight face, if this is it.
