Former Benedict XVI confessed in the recent issue of the anti-Catholic German magazine Herder Korrespondenz that he has never spoken in favour of evangelising Jews, rather "about dialogue" and "not about evangelisation".
According to Benedict XVI, Judaism and Christianity are simply “two ways of interpreting” the Bible [which contradict each other and therefore cannot both be true].
The former pope writes that Christ’s missionary mandate concerns all peoples and cultures and is "universal", but then he contradicts this statement by saying that there is “one exception”,

The Jews reject the new testament because they reject Christ. Remember that Benedict was one of the modernist leaders of Vatican II. He has always supported ecumanism. It is shameful that so many neo-traditional clerics have this distorted notion that Benedict is a conservative pope.

How many Jews will go to hell because Benedict et. al. don't believe they need to be Catholic in order to be saved? Woe to them

Mark 16:15 English Standard Version (ESV). 15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
How does Benedict XVI explain the planned "Conversion of St. Paul" at Damascus? The famous conversion of the Jew Alphonsus Ratisbone by Our Lady and Her Miraculous Medal in 1842? Or the powerful passage on the "Road to Emmaus"...."Oh you foolish men...so slow to believe....."
