From the above referred article on Pope John Paul II's Jewishness "Was Pope John Paul II Jewish?" (from http://atheism.about.com, 15 Nov. 2005):
Although [Yaakov Wise, a researcher in orthodox Jewish history and philosophy] believes the Pope’s father was an ethnic Pole, he thinks that John Paul’s mother Emilia Kaczorowski - Emily Katz in English - was Jewish and that she was the daughter of Feliks Kaczowski, a businessman from Biala-Bielsko in Poland. Katz is a common surname amongst East European Jewish families. Emilia’s mother, the Pope’s grandmother, was Maria Anna Scholz. Scholz, or Schulze, is also a common surname among Jews, as is Rybicka, or Ryback, which is the surname of the Pope’s great-grandmother Zuzanna.
“I’m not making any firm conclusions, but what I’m saying is that there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to say that he was Jewish. The Pope’s mother married out of the Jewish community to wed a Catholic. Her children were born and raised as Catholics and the Pope was baptised. It would shed light on why the Pope had to go into hiding from the Nazis in November 1940.”The above quote taken from an article from Manchester Metro News, now found in Manchester Evening News, "The Pope was Jewish says historian" (dated 29 August 2007).
Pope John Paul II taking advice - from the God of Christianity?... Not really!
