There was some speculation that Karol Wojtyla`s mother was Jewish. I read somewhere that her name was a Polish version of "Katz" in a predominantly Polish village of "Orowsk". Also he was once seen to put a prayer into a crack in the wailing wall in Jerusalem while wearing a Yarmulke.. http://www.unitedjerusalem.com/ABOUT_THE_POPES_VISIT_TO_ISRAE/Popes_Letter_In_The_Wall/popes_letter_in_the_wall.asp Pope John Paul II March 26, 2000 at the Western Wall In Jerusalem, Israel.
All this of course, is far from proving the case. But there was more to the argument than that. Maybe others know more about it, to either to proveor disprove the theis.
The idea is not that preposterous. After all, the high ranking Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger who died recenty, was definitely Jewish. |
