Pope’s Ancestry Studied at www.jewwatch.com
JEW WATCH OUTS POPE JOHN PAUL II
HE IS OF PROBABLE JEWISH DESCENT

Jew Watch Headquarters, St. Louis, Missouri, April 6, 2005 – Today, Jew
Watch NEWS outed Pope John Paul II’s probable Jewish ancestry on its
nine-year-old scholarly web site located on the Internet at www.jewwatch.com.
The Pope’s mother was Emily Katz, whose Polish name is "Emilia
Kaczorowska," which is usually Anglicized by American immigrants to the
familiar sounding, "Emily Katz."
The Pope’s father, Karol Wojtyla, Sr.. was a retired army officer and
tailor in the town of Wadowice, a town which was the home for 8,000 Catholics
and 2,000 Jews 35 miles southwest of Krakow, Poland. When Mr. Wojtyla, Sr.,
married Emilia Kaczorowska, he was immediately ostracized from his family. Karol
and Emilia lived in an apartment which they rented from their Jewish landlord.
According to a CNN story, the Wojtylas had to find found friends within the
Jewish community of Wadowice. Their son, also named Karol Wojtyla, went to
school with Jews, which was unusual in most Polish towns.
Karol, who was to become Pope of Rome, had as his lifelong friend, a Jewish
boy named Jerzy Kluger. Jerzy later negotiated Pope John Paul II’s recognition
of Israel by the Vatican. PSB.org says that, "Except
for Jerzy Kluger, most of his friends were poor," which indicates that at
least some Jews, such as the Kluger family, were able to function at middle
class levels and above in pre-Nazi Poland. Although we know how the Pope escaped
Nazi persecution by working in back breaking labor situations, what Jerzy Kluger
did to escape persecution at their hands as a Jew is unknown, because the
biographies at CNN, PBS, and elsewhere do not delve into Jerzy’s life during
this critical time to explain how Mr. Kluger, also of Jewish ancestry, survived
the Nazi occupation.
Karol, later to become the Pope, whose name is adorned with a number of
impressive medieval titles including "Successor of St. Peter,"
"Prince of Apostles," "Supreme Pontiff of the Universal
Church," "Patriarch of the West," "Primate of Italy,"
"Sovereign of Vatican City," and many other fluffy phrases, escaped
Nazi deportation by working as a common laborer in a quarry in 1941, as a
chemical worker in 1944, and by hiding in the house of the Archbishop of Krakow
in the critical days of the German pullout from Poland in 1944 as the Russians
took over that distressed nation.
Jew Watch reports on its website at www.jewwatch.com
that the Pope, according to CNN, did not begin studying for the priesthood until
1943, after both of his parents were deceased. His Jewish mother died when the
Pope was only nine years old, so he lived with his father most of his life.
According to church historians, the Pope’s father was extremely religious and
would pray from his knees on the floor each night in the small room where they
lived.
Said Frank Weltner, Director and Librarian for the scholarly website www.jewwatch.com,
"According to those who knew him, Pope John Paul II was a great actor and
poet during his youth. Much of the theatre business in Poland, as in much of
Europe and the United States was traditionally owned and controlled in many
cities by persons of Jewish descent, so having one Jewish parent and many Jewish
friends would have been helpful in obtaining entry into an acting career."
According to Jew Watch NEWS analysis at its web site, the strong likelihood
that the Pope is of Jewish descent is seen in the fact that he had to scramble
in Poland to avoid deportation. It seems logical that his acting career and
poetry publishing brought him "front and center" to the attention of
the German occupational forces, more so than if he had not been in these areas
of work and authorship.
It is unlikely that the Pope would have been deported for just being a Pole,
so the fact of the constant deportation threat lends further logical credence to
the contention that he is of Jewish descent. The Germans seem to have been
keenly interested in the personal case of Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope of
Rome.
According to Jew Watch NEWS which outed Karol Wojtyla’s probable Jewish
ancestry, by publishing the story on April 5, 2005, the future Pope of Rome
continued his pastor’s studies from 1943-1946 to become an ordained priest. He
continued studying, receiving two masters degrees and one doctorate before
taking up his priestly duties as an Assistant Pastor in Krakow which was at that
time within Soviet occupied communist Poland.
