Well, this is one area where we part company - opinion wise. What if those terrorists started popping off priests in that church - would you be so willing to let them die in order to protect the building? I would not. When we hold on too dearly onto this world and what is of this world, we lose the next one.

I honestly don't know. But I'll bet you that the priests would be willing to die to protect the place of Christ's birth. They live for the next world and would probably die the martyr's death.
