"But no problem with the Palis treating the Bethelem Church like a latrine?"
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). . .
Says Who? The Christian Holy Sites in and around Jerusalem were established, built and maintained for nearly 2 millenia by the Roman Catholic Church and the Ortthodox Churches. We had over 1100 years of guarding these holy sites before there ever was a Christian Church apart from Rome and Constantinople.
