On Passover, maybe? Next year at the Vatican!

Is Pope Leo Jewish? Ask his distant cousins — like me!!!

The next time someone asks sarcastically if the pope is Catholic, tell them not so fast.

He apparently has Jewish cousins. And I’m one of them.

Oh, all right — make that a third or fourth cousin, by marriage, two or three times removed. But however indirect, it’s real, with names and family lineage to prove it. >>>
