How very brave these arab bishops are.
It is easy to be brave with other people’s lives. It is like blaming those in Nazi Death Camps because they didn’t prevent their own exterminations. Christians in the Middle East have been living in a Muslim concentration camp, for 1000 to 1300 years, during which time they went from over 90% to less than 10% of the population.
“How very brave these arab bishops are.”
Nowadays, what’s brave is to be openly Christian and stand up for Israel.
Blame the Jews.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) A special Vatican meeting on the Middle East ended Saturday (Oct. 23) with a flare-up in Catholic-Jewish tensions, after an American bishop declared the Bible does not give Jews privileged rights to the land of Israel. "There is no longer a chosen people -- all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people." (Archbishop Cyril Bustros, a native of Lebanon who is currently a Melkite Greek Catholic bishop in Newton Mass.)
