John Paul II in Rome's synagogue


 We remember with gratitude the visit of Pope John Paul II to the synagogue in Rome in 1986 where he was received by Rabbi Elio Toaff and the Jewish community. This was another turning point in the long road towards reconciliation, embarked upon by the Roman Catholic Church.
