POPE MENTIONS RABBI IN WILL

The former chief rabbi of Rome was one of just two living people mentioned by Pope John Paul II in his last will and testament. Rabbi Elio Toaff, who hosted John Paul during the late pope's 1986 visit to a synagogue in Rome -- the first time a pope had ever visited a synagogue -- was singled out for thanks.

Here's the Pope's will.

Here's the money quote:"How can I not embrace with grateful memory all the bishops of the world whom I have met in ad limina Apostolorum visits! How can I not recall so many non-Catholic Christian brothers! And the rabbi of Rome and so many representatives of non-Christian religions! And how many representatives of the world of culture, science, politics, and of the means of social communication!"
