The European Jewish Congress (EJC) was shocked to learn that Pope Benedict XVI has received in private at his summer residence Tadeusz Rydzyk, the head of Radio Maryja, whose anti-Semitic statements have been widely spread through his media network.
The EJC is astonished by the fact that Pope Benedict XVI has granted with a private audience and his blessing a man and an institution that have tarnished the image of the Polish church.
