When the Vatican wrongly left Israel off a list of countries that had recently suffered at the hands of terrorists, it was front-page news, and more than a few accusations of anti-Semitism were leveled. Major news outlets brought up the always touchy subject of Christianitys long-troubled relationship with Judaism, and demands were made for an official apology from the Vatican.
