I think many of the Catholic bashers on this site are former Catholics who for very sad and sorry reasons could not live up to the sacramental standards of the church. Because of their feeling of inadequacy and rejection, they vent hatred and nonsense toward the most humanitarian organization of all time.Well . . . y'got me! I'm a former Catholic and must confess that my anti-Catholicism is caused entirely by my feelings of inadequacy in not having what it takes to believe that the "old testament" is mythology, like all good Catholics do.
No wonder the Vatican is hostile to Israel. If the Jews rebuild the Temple, that might mean that Adam and Eve actually existed! Horrors!

That is an odd interpretation if I ever saw one. The OT prophesied the coming of Christ so Catholics certainly do believe in the OT. But we also know the Lord brought a new way of thinking and thus we have Christianity anchored by Catholicism.

Most Protestants are also rather directed toward statements attributed to Paul. And Judaism does have a good case. There were many more witnesses present at Mt. Sinai.
Sometimes, religious considerations do come out in bad foreign relations moves, but it's not as bad as it was during the Medieval years and before--not for the time being.
