Political dimension is their oxygen? Does this mean that they live for incitement and action against the Jews? What happened to the good teachings of JC such as "Love your neighbour... "; etc,?

PIECE talks... Its all planned out to give legitimacy to the Muslims.

so anyone who thinks this Catholic is going to be any different is going to be mistaken

holdings in the ME. the Vatican has no other stake whatever in the murderous activities of its combatants.

As i sorte befor ,iwould lide to invite our Pope for a meeting between Isaelis AND Palestnias . This is Not A polítical meeting , but citizens that have suffering for a long. time the consquecies of the conflit Please , don't. Ignore this meting . It. haver much more forcethan any polítical meeting .. Natan galkowicz Natangal@yahoo.com

should be BANNED from the the land of the Jews !

Why would the Muslims have ANY interest in this? The Pope doesn't speak for the and has no authority in Israel.

Pope John Paul visited but not Pope Pius to argue for greater sanctuary for the Jews in Christian and Islamic Lands.For John Paul it was mission impossible too many Hardliners on both sides.Now things are worse as Tribalism and Religious Ideology are more antipeace than ever .

Just finished reading it, very well sourced. this will be in all likelihood highly politicized against Israel, with replacement theology as a driving force behind the events and messaging. Esav has not changed !

The current Pope is a decent man who is far more tolerant and human than some of his predecessors or fellow Catholics. He will enjoy Israel and encourage Palestinians to accept its basic cause (if not the settlers' megalomaniac fantasy) as just.

Chris, I know and have known some wonderful Catholics on a personal basis. What gives? They do not know the history of their church? They do not know the Vatican and most of the popes are hostile to Israel?

The Pope's own Roman ancestors dumped this name on Jews. No salvation for liars.

As a Catholic and an American, it is always distressing to see the vitriolic comments about this pope in the Israeli press. What are you so afraid of in him? You find it distressing that he will eat with the poor and the exiled? Is that not consistent with Jewish values, too? That he is trying to bridge age-old differences with the Orthodox Christians? That he is acknowledging Jerusalem as a holy city? What is your problem? These baseless, often inane attacks only isolate a desperately isolated Israel even more...please, for your own sakes, stop.

Jewish items hidden in the Vatican caves

If Pope Francis really wants to have a positive effect on the Holy Land and Middle East, there are quite a few things he and his team can do over the coming weeks and months. This proposed visit in May is a long way off. His presence as part of a special delegation in Jerusalem is required before then. There is a narrative that needs to unfold from this point on. As all people of faith know, G-d is the utlimate executive producer. We should heed his direction. Stay tuned for more bat information...

make the Pope's visit conditional on the church returning property that was stolen through the church's instigation against Jews for the past 2,000 years. Make the Pope's visit conditional on the church admitting its role in global anti-Semitism. Why give the church free entry to our land. Let us stand up against the lies of the church and make them repent before God?

after open media press call to get more funding to the church in jerusalem after the palestinians vandalize their church, the basically blamed Israeli for palestinians behavior, that is why Israelies afraied so much since the muslim comunity will make provocations, Israel would be the one to get the bad intenational feedback.

Prime enemies of Christians in the Arab and Islamic world are Muslim! Price enemies of Israel and Jews are Muslim. rememberamalek

Your statements about Pope Francis and his Church are hateful and stubborn. We, renewed Christians and Catholics, support and admire Israel very much. For us, Jewish people are our eldest brothers. Please, forget filthy past crimes. After darkness, lightness comes. Sincerely.
