I haven’t seen anything on Vatican websites about this. I think it is a hoax.
I don’t agree with Rome’s take on this, but it’s not because Rome fails to see or take seriously particular Bible predictions. It’s reasonable to presume that such predictions or hopes were never meant to guarantee Palestine’s perpetual occupation and dominance by Jews nor were those predictions meant to do double-, triple- (etc.!) duty. Land is won and held by force. It’s never “given” or “promised” without ensuing warfare or almost equally destructive strife (Ireland comes to mind).
Israel can’t have it both ways—its dominance in what was Palestine is either a matter of superior military force or God’s Will, with which no force of any kind would be necessary.
The Vatican, doing its job, is looking toward a lasting peace, not nullifying the Old Testament—operative word here, btw, being “Old”.
I wonder WHO in the vatican wrote this. There are lots of left leaning priests and bishops and they don’t speak for the whole church...
“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?
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, Israel’s ambassador to the Holy See, told The Jerusalem Post that Bustros, in saying that Jesus nullified God’s 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.
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 Catholics have their Monsignor Cyril Salim Bustros.
Heretics, both of them.
