The Vatican is made up of lots of people, most of them Europeans.
I find it unremarkable that a number of those Euros would harbor hostility toward Israel, and even Jews themselves. Some of them see America as the great materialistic Satan.
It's fashionable now to despise America and her Middle Eastern handmaiden, the state of Israel. The Vatican is not immune to that wave of derision.
And does a disservice to the Catholic foot-soldiers of the world who are busy helping mankind.
No, I don't. I said perhaps they are blameless.
Then again, maybe they're not. It sounds like it may have been blown out of proportion, though.
Yes, there are some anti-Americans and anti-Zionists in the Curia. But that does not mean that every criticism of Israel or America is entirely without merit. Some are, some aren't.
There is more anti-Catholicism on this board than there is anti-anything at the Vatican, though.
