Author James Carroll's evaluation of the legacy of Pope John Paul II, praising the Pontiff's "renunciation of coercive force" and his effort to heal the "ancient breach with Judaism," would have been more valid had it taken a wider perspective [April 11].

Healing the ancient breach with Judaism became the most important project of his pontificate: rooting out anti-Semitic themes from Christian educational materials; visiting synagogues; lifting up the Holocaust as a permanent point of moral reckoning; affirming the right of Jews to be at home in Israel, which he formally recognized in 1994. In reverencing the Western Wall in Jerusalem in 2000, the Pope reversed the ancient Christian denigration of the Temple of Israel, renouncing forever the idea that because Jesus...
