the Secretary of State and his aides explicitly reaffirmed the Vatican’s opposition to significant Jewish immigration to Palestine, stating that "the Holy See has never approved of the project of making Palestine a Jewish home…Palestine is by now holier for Catholics than for Jews."

That must be because they realize that the bones of their founder Peter are in that ossuary there in Jerusalem not in Rome.

The ossuary didn't say "Peter", it said "Simon". "Peter" was forced into the translation of the ossuary enscription by the author of the article you are so fond of referencing. You've been corrected about this at least once already.
