NEW YORK (JTA) – Pope Francis will confer papal knighthood on Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Manhattan’s Park East ѕуηαgσgυє.

Schneier, the founder of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation and a h0Ɩ0cαųst survivor, is being honored for his work promoting peace and mutual understanding, according to Vatican officials. Schneier will formally become a knight of Saint Sylvester at a ceremony on April 27 at the official residence of the Vatican’s representative to the United Nations, Archbishop Bernardito Auza. Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York is slated to be present.

Other members of the Order of Saint Sylvester include the late entertainer Bob Hope and Oskar Schnidler, the German industrialist credited with saving more than 1,000 Jєωs from the nαzιs.

“Pope Francis is bestowing the honor on Rabbi Arthur Schneier, who has worked unceasingly to promote peace and mutual understanding, in the firm conviction that respect for fundamental human rights, including religious freedom, are indispensable values for all peoples of the world to enjoy peace, security and shared prosperity,” Auza said in a statement. “A h0Ɩ0cαųst survivor, Rabbi Schneier has always held this conviction in his heart and made it a principle of life.”

When the last pope, Benedict XVI, visited New York in April 2008, he visited Schneier’s ѕуηαgσgυє, where the two exchanged gifts. Schneier was given a replica of a medieval Jєωιѕн manuscript from the Vatican library, and the pope received a seder plate, a Haggadah and a box of matzah.

So they got a replica of a medieval antique which someone had to go down and dig out of the Vatican Archives and carefully replicate, and in turn they gave us a plate with a box of crackers. HA!

This is beyond vile. How even the useful goy retards in the NO pews cannot see through this is beyond me.

They can't imagine the rabbi will perform the duties of a Catholic knight, but they likely see the gesture as some small atonement for the many sins they learned from NO parochial school and Hollywood that the Catholic Church committed against the Jєωs.

Papal orders:
"Such awards are usually made to lay men and women of the Roman Catholic faith but not exclusively so: they may be awarded to those of other Christian denominations and other faiths in recognition of their pre-eminent service to the work of the Holy See on a national and international level."

That stated, granting knighthood to a Rabbi does not help the Holy See on any level.
The тαℓмυd and the Sanhedrin say a great many unmentionable things about Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This is a Rabbi we're talking about, not a diplomat or "Christian" head of State. These guys spew venom towards the Sacred Trinity and our Lady.

I cannot stress this enough.

As for "pope" Francis, he obviously hasn't a clue about what this rabbi's most holy book has to say about him and all other nonJєωs. Or doesn't really care;

Actually if Francis is considered the best the goy can produce, this is the best the rabbi's тαℓмυd can say about him;

* “Even the best of the ‘goyim’ should all be killed.” (Soferim 15)


So you go ahead and knight him Frank.

That seder plate would've been useful during the seder meals he celebrated that were passed off as "papal masses." "Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation..."

Even this isn't unprecedented... didn't JPII give some Jєωιѕн conductor a similar honor?

That is correct, John Paul II made a Jєωιѕн conductor Gilbert Levine a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great after he performed a Jєωιѕн concert in the Vatican to commemorate h0Ɩ0cαųst. Levine said John Paul II never tried to convert him even though they were close friends.

There is another possibility, conspiratorially speaking.  What is Pope Francis' heritage on his mother's side?   IDK myself, but his actions suggest more than friendly familiarity and/or ignorance.

Re: the precedent, this escalates Pope JPII's blasphemy quite a bit.
