Pope: Christians cannot be anti-Semitic

[EnemyofEdom]

Is the pope implying "true" Christians are not against Judaism?

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis says due to “our common roots” with the Jewish people, “a Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!” Listen to Tracey McClure's report:

Pope said:

In that Council text, the Church recognizes that “the beginnings of its faith and election are to be found in the patriarchs, Moses and prophets”. And, with regard to the Jews, the Council recalls the teaching of Saint Paul, who wrote “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” and who also firmly condemned hatred, persecution and all forms of anti-Semitism. Due to our common roots, a Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!

Ironically we can't be anti-semites because we are descendants of Shem. We can be anti-Edomites though!
