Man patiko tas apie Popieziu, sustabdyta eisma ir duma. Zinot anekdota
apie Popieziaus ir Rabio Moishes teologini disputa? Po angielski: Several
centuries ago the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to leave Italy. There
was, of course, a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope
offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with a leader of the
Jewish community. If the Jewish leader won the debate, the Jews would be
permitted to stay in Italy. The Jewish community met and picked an aged
Rabbi,Moishe, to represent them in the debate. Rabbi Moishe, however, could
not speak Latin and the Pope could not speak Yiddish. So it was decided
that this would be a 'silent' debate. On the day of the great debate the
Pope and the Rabbi Moishe sat opposite each other for a full minute before
the Pope raised his hand and and showed three fingers. Rabbi Moishe looked
back and raised one finger. Next, the Pope waved his finger around his
head. Rabbi Moishe poited to the ground where he sat. The Pope then brought
out a communion wafer and chalice of wine. Rabbi Moishe pulled out an
apple. With that, the Pope stood up and said,'I concede the debate. This
man has bested me. The Jews can stay.' Later, the cardinals gathered around
the Pope, asking him what happened. The Pope said,'First I held up three
fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to
remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I
waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He
responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here
with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us
of our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of Original Sin. He had an
answer for everything. What could I do?' Meanwhile, the Jewish community
crowded around Rabbi Moishe, asking what happened. 'Well,'said
Moishe,'first he said to me,"You Jews have three days to get out of here."
So I said to him, "Not one of us is going to leave." Then he tells me the
hole city would be cleared of Jews. So I said to him, "Listen here, Mr
Pope, the Jews...we stay right here!" 'And then?' asked a women. 'Who
knows?' said Rabbi Moishe.'We broke for lunch.'
