On May 11, 2007, Benedict XVI received Muslim sheik Hussein Saleh, above shaking hands, and rabbi Henry Sobel, center, at the Monastery of St. Benedict, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

After the meeting ended, rabbi Sobel told the press:

"With deep humility, I asked for a blessing and was blessed. I also asked for the Pope's permission to bless him and was authorized to do so."

Once again Benedict XVI implicitly denies the falseness of the Jewish Religion, as well as its guilt in the crime of Deicide and its constant historical persecution of Catholics.
