The photo of the Pope sitting in front of a Palestinian Jesus is not only historically inaccurate but also “theological suicide for the Vatican,” according to David Parsons, vice president and senior spokesperson for the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.

“If he [Jesus] is not the son of David, not Jewish, then he is not the promised messiah, and Christianity vanishes,” Parsons explained. “It’s just theological malpractice.”
Parsons placed the blame on the Pope’s “handlers” for the situation.
“He lives in a bubble, and they need to stop, they need to turn off Al Jazeera,” Parsons quipped. “The Pope shouldn't be watching Al Jazeera. It just seems like that's what he's been watching lately because it is just an outrage, the things that he's saying.”
