No way the Vatican will go against the Jews as another enemy. Catholics are made up of the Jewish people who decided to follow Christ in the beginning. We love and respect the Jewish people as you would your own grandparents. They are the grandparents of the Christian faith.
I think if the Catholic Church wanted to do right by Judaism, they might stop kissing the quran, a book that commands the murder of Christians AND espeically jews. They might stage demonstrations against burning synagogues in Europe, where they are fast joining the ranks of "minority faiths" amongst the swelling hordes of Islam... before Christians are simply bred into extinction.
I HAVE heard Dr. Keyes, REALLY stand up for Israel... And Bill Bennett. They however are AMERICAN Catholics, not European ones. I heard a Islamic Cleric on the Savage Nation show, tear radical Islam a new one back a few weeks ago... but that is VERY rare. He will probably get a FATONE... or FATWAH... whatever the hell they call it.
I think we have a mixture in all Christian faiths as to how, what and why; we can, should or will do anything for Israel's security, growth and prosperity...
I don't think its all based on religion. Some of it is based on the concept of republic versus empire and our worldwide responsibilities. We have to face the responsibilities thrust upon us and our allies... we ARE an empire. And our allies are also part of our protectorate. Israel is part of that. They ARE our allies.
Pronouncements condemning Israel's self-defensive actions by religious leaders at this time... "are not helpful." Radical Islam has got to go bye bye.
Would you prefer that the Catholic Church blow with the proverbial wind, changing with the times to be Politically Correct, as have many of the Protestant denominations?
It is clear to anyone who wants to actually research the facts that the Catholic Church, and the Pope during WWII, helped the Jews to the extent possible.
