The Vatican on Gaza: Israel is a Baby-Killer”

Not a word was heard from the Vatican all the years Sderot babies were in mortal danger. They began noticing the violence last week.


Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, President of the Vatican Council for Culture, commenting on the war between Israel and Hamas, delivered a severe attack on the Jewish people: “I think of the ‘massacre of the innocents’. Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”.


The Catholic Church high official equated Israel’s operation in Gaza against terror groups with the New Testament story of Herod’s slaughter of Jewish babies in his effort to kill Jesus.

Waiting to see who makes excuse for these liars.

Herod was put in authority by Rome . He was a murder and he was also an Edomite just like the phony Palestinian rocket launching murders trying to kill Israeli babies right now.

I guess these people believe if they keep repeating the sames lies that people will believe them .
What they are actually doing is PROVING that they are nothing but instigators that side with everything that is wrong and align themselves against God himself.

There is just no excuse for this

As a once Catholic, I think the Vatican can shove it their smelly Obamas.

If true, can’t blame Jews for not trusting Christians.

This guy doesn’t speak for the Church, any more than Fr Pfleger does.

The vicar-general of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, William Shomali, said on Vatican Radio that “what is happening in Gaza now is a vicious circle of violence”.

Hmmmm, I’m thinking that I have heard this before.

This seems to be so over the top I would suggest waiting for confirmation, or clarification of this article. - Tom

The Vatican is insane.

The Hamas charter promotes the eradication of Israel and the systematic extermination of the Jews.

This puts the Vatican in the same camp as the Nazis.

I’ll have NOTHING to do with them unless and until they recant this idiotic pandering to the Left.

Oh, for Pete’s sake! I’m a Catholic. I think these Vatican officials and Bishops have their heads in the sand.
Here in America, unborn babies are being killed every day, priests give out the Body of Christ to evil politicians, Leahy, Biden, Pelosi, McCaskill, and all of the rest of these evil supposed Catholics. The devil is deep at work in these evil ones.

Father Mitch Pacqua after the 9/11 killing by the Butcher of Benghazi (the bama) declared on EWTN that the muslims were upset over a video. I couldn’t believe my ears. How Naive of him. I do hope he corrected himself.

One cardinal speaking on behalf of the Catholic Church is like Jesse Jackson Jr. speaking on behalf of the Obama administration. Small cog in a big wheel. He is allowed his opinion but only the Magisterum speaks for the Church.

Commentary ended its relationship with Giulio Meotti the same month that these acts of plagiarism occurred, with the exception of a single article that appeared on our website in February. I am saddened and outraged that Commentary hosted such theft and I apologize deeply to the writers who had their words appropriated.” -- John Podhoretz, editor

Dear Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi,

Why are the Swiss Guards armed???

It’s too bad morons are allowed to be Cardinals.
