Given that no Pope has ever made an infallible or even Magisterial statement about the Jewish State of Israel --- as FReepers Petrosius and vladimir998 accurately pointed out --- this is a sophomorish gaffe on the part of Paul Eidelberg.

So does the Catholic church have a position on the Nation of Israel??? It must have since it recognizes so called Palestine as state of its own...If so, you can perhaps give us the official position of the Catholic Church on the Nation of Israel...Will Israel ultimately end up in the promised land as God stated??? Will the promised land end up being divided with the so called Palestinians and Jordanians, the Iraqis and Syrians???

You are mixing up two quite different categories: Catholic doctrine and papal diplomacy. The former has to do with faith and morals. The latter has to do with politics, state policy.<

The Catholic Church has no doctrine in Israel.

Vatican City, as a state, has diplomatic relations. These diplomatic relations have no religious authority, and historically have been as enlightened or wrong-headed or inspiring or deplorable as the statecraft of other political entity.

Typo. I meant to say "The Catholic Church has no doctrine on Israel."
