Vatican Says Jerusalem "Issue" is Too Important to Leave to Israel, PA 19:15 Jan 03, '06 / 3 Tevet 5766
(IsraelNN.com) The legal counsel of the Vatican in Israel, the priest David Jaeger, said today that Jerusalem is too important of an "issue" to be left to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Jaeger further expressed criticism of Israeli policy regarding holy sites in the country.
"The issue of Jerusalem," the representative of the Roman Catholic Church said, "is to important to leave in the hands of the Israelis and the Palestinians."
The Catholic Church has been making efforts to obtain historical sites in Jerusalem of late, but without public successes.

Jaeger further expressed criticism of Israeli policy regarding holy sites in the country. But no problem with the Palis treating the Bethelem Church like a latrine?

Did I hear criticism of the palestinian terrorists when they invaded the Church of the Nativity?

For the record, Jerusalem was to be an open international city in January of 1949. The Arabs reneged on the agreement before the ink was dry. Somebody shopuld remind the Vatican that Arab promises are the hope of fools.

Exactly! Someone should remind the Catholic Church that the Christian Holy sites in Jerusalem 'belong' to ALL CHRISTIANS..not just the Vatican..(rolling eyes). Frankly, I don't want the Palestinians in charge of one single Christian Holy site!!

Right. Jerusalem belongs to God. And he's deeded it out to Israel (see the Bible for details). . .
To: Esther Ruth
Well, they're half-right.

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
Case closed. No issue.

My family's clan fought in the Crusades-- I'd be more than happy to start a new one. Ha ha. But this time- let's go to the vatican, and then Gaza.

Sounds like tones of the anti-christ. Beware of the peacemaker.Something also supposed to happen to the roman church.

The Vatican has a lot of money. Maybe they can buy some land in the neighborhood.

Oh Right!!! As far as I know, the Catholics don't believe in the biblical millenial reign of Christ from Jerusalem which will happen in the very near future... The 'Church' has no biblical claim to any of the inherited land...

With Israel capitulating on all fronts, this would be penalized as "piling on".
Disgusting, unwarranted, and making a mockery of recent Vatican gestures to the Jewish people, just a side note.
To: Esther Ruth
First, I will say something that sounds outrageous and then I will try to explain it.
Who Cares?
It doesn't matter a lick what "authority" is in charge of Jerusalem. "Holy Sites" are holy because someone way back before I was born said "this is where Jesus was buried,crucified,born etc. It doesn't matter if He was born in Bethlehem at the site of the Church of the Nativity or at the site of the current terrorist training facility. It doesn't matter if He was crucified at Golgotha or Gorden's Calvary.
It matters that He was born and that he suffered, died and resurrected. Moses tomb was kept a secret because God did not want the Jews to worship the site of his burial. Let us take an example from The Most High and stop putting so much importance on a place and more importance on Him who created all places.
