Stanley,
The story of the Jewish leaders telling Pilate to let the blood of Jesus be on
their heads sounds as reasonable as any other story in the Old Testament.
Pilate was certainly a historical figure, and from all accounts, he did offer
the Jews a choice between crucifying Jesus or Barabbas.
So to answer your question, yes, I believe the story is essentially true. I
also agree with the Pope about forgiveness. That was, after all, one of the
main tenants of Christ's ministry.
But I also believe that words and actions have inevitable consequences. I think
the universe is always listening. What is prayer if not a release of vibrations
that extend to infinity. The biblical Jews committed a terrible and cowardly
act. And I don't recall any account of them asking for forgiveness.
Christianity teaches that even when forgiveness is asked, atonement must be
met. I'm not saying that the Holocaust was that atonement but the horror of it
was of such magnitude you have to wonder.
