(*groan*) Just shoot me now...
Forgive me... but this decision by the Vatican is utter, complete, incomprehensible, blithering idiocy. This sort of insanity is NOT helping us faithful Catholics fight the good fight. (Nor is any insane blather about “global warming”, or any other mythical nonsense which is utterly beyond the purview of the Vatican, anyway.) Just saying.
Not to mention unnecessary. A treaty could be reached with the Palestinian Authority in it’s role as interim self governing body as it and the rest of the world, including Israel, have in the past. Despite the PA lacking a legitimate representative government. The motivation for declaring declaring a new state is unclear.
