These people throw around "Jewish" like it's a bad thing. If John Paul the Great had Jewish ancestry (and knew about it), I expect he'd have been proud. Although it might have hampered his ecclesiastical career in Poland; I gather Jews weren't very popular there before or after the war. Still, I doubt he would have let career concerns stand in the way of honesty and integrity, though. If he were all that concerned about the powers that be, he wouldn't have backed so many underdogs.
