Point of fact, the "Catholics" have not had control of the Holy Mount in Jerusalem since the defeat of the Templars at the Horns of Hattin. Jerusalem has been in Muslim control ever since.
Besides, I doubt the ark is there. It was not there during the destruction of 70 AD, and many think it is in Ethiopia now.

Well, apologies.
Maybe my mind forgot what the tour guide said and it was Muslims.
