The Vatican has called for Israel to end its occupation of "Arab lands," noting that all of what we define currently as Israel is "Arab land."
That the Bible must not be used to justify either their occupation' nor their injustices' against Palestinians.
"The Holy Scriptures cannot be used to justify the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians, to justify the occupation by Israel of Palestinian lands," Monsignor Cyril Salim Bustros, Greek Melkite archbishop of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Boston, Massachusetts, and president of the "Commission for the Message," said at Saturday's Vatican press conference.
"We Christians cannot speak of the promised land' as an exclusive right for a privileged Jewish people. This promise was nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people - all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people."
You've just been witness to a significant event in the End Times unfolding, amigo. The Vatican stating that Israel is "no longer a chosen people".
The Vatican has just nullified the Bible, and elevated Replacement Theology in full public view.
This is .... stunning.
Vatican synod calls for end to Israel's occupation'
Sensible response, thanks.
It it is SO stuning, it deserves an extra “n”...LOL!
“The Vatican has just nullified the Bible, and elevated Replacement Theology in full public view.
They nullified the Bible over a thousand years ago. It’s deeper than that; the Vatican has been the instigator and leader of anti-semitism for all of its existence. It’s showing its true nature now.
Who has the transcipts of the synod and the full final statement?
“I guess that they dont take the Bible seriously in Rome.”
No, they don’t. They’ll use it whenever it bolsters their purpose and oppose it when it doesn’t. What do you think its Author thinks about that?
“These Arab Bishops have tended to lean against Israel over the decades, in part for the protection of their flocks.’
That’s like Bill Clinton saying Sen. Byrd had to join the KKK in order to get elected. He did it for you.
“I call for an end to Muslim occupation of Christian, Jewish and Hindu lands, which pretty much leaves the Muslims with nothing much more than the Arabian peninsula.”
TERRIFIC!!!!! I second that motion!
Mr. Geer screwed up in a major way. Bustros, NOT a Roman Catholic, was speaking for his group. The fact that he said it at the Vatican does not mean it was from the pope or sanctioned by the pope.
Mordechay Lewy, Israels ambassador to the Holy See, told The Jerusalem Post that Bustros, in saying that Jesus nullified Gods covenant with the Jewish people, was returning to successionist theology, contradicting Second Vatican Council teaching and Pope Benedict himself who has welcomed the return of Jews to their ancient homeland.
Please read some of the more informed posts before going with a knee-jerk reaction.
Also, please read the second paragraph of this article (source of boldface quote): http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.7745/pub_detail.asp
I imagine Mr. Geer, too, will be explaining his error in a similar future article soon.
From post #15 by Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
And what is this "popeness" crap, Tzfat? Calm down and get all the facts before you start your cutesy name-calling.
My information from someone close to this "Not the chosen people" thing is that the Vatican recognizes that it is not well represented by such a statement and is working on a "clarification."

As if on End Times cue, the Pope is also issued an encyclical demanding a global economic and wealth and energy re-distribution regime with “teeth.”
So in addition to demanding the UN impose a “peace” agreement on Israel in which they surrender Jerusalem to the Arabs; the Pope is also demanding a global communist regime ruling over all the “states” which we know as Nations. He’s also mentioned a global system of “morality” that will be inposed on the “States” which will kill “fundamentalists.”
This is all so reassuring./s/
The world’s economic elite are going to crash the dollar and US economy and then move to fulfill the Pope’s wishes in the Senate.
The pope has commented - Peace is possible in Middle East, pope says at synod's closing Mass
If you have been following the situation in the Holy Land, Israel has set up walls to separate the Palestinians from the State of Israel. The end result has been turmoil.
Palestinian Christians Barred From Jerusalem for Easter
The Jews fled Israel in the 1st century. Then, in 1948, the UN established the State of Israel. Palestinian families, who had lived in the same village for hundreds of years, had their homes taken away from them, packed up in buses and shuttled to a new settlement.
The community of Arab Christians is dwindling in the Holy Land
Many of these christians have lost their jobs and have no way to support their families.

I meant "American Thinker"? Sorry.
Try replacing 'Old' with ORIGINAL.
