Does the Vatican speak for the Pope? If so, then this is clear proof that the Pope can make mistakes in his judgements and statements. I'm sorry if that offends, but to so blatently ignore and legitimize by silence the atrocities and original desecration by the Palestinians, and then to blast the Israeli's for responding, makes no sense whatsoever. Such a position cannot be explained as just. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but the Vatican is clearly(and in this case shamefully) wrong.

"Free Barabas".

Diddle, you said it better than I could.

Aquinas would definitely back the Israelis over the "pink mist" Palestinians.

I see the infiltration of Satanism into the Church hierarchy, in both the homo/pedophile priest thing, and in the Church's condemnation of Israel as it justly defends itself in what is a very measured response to the utter barbarism of the Palestinians.

Where else have I seen Satanism in the Church?

I have seen an awful lot of pro-socialist comments, like, 'economic justice,' etc., etc., in the past decades, from the US Council of Catholic Bishops, and from Rome.

Why is this so bad?

It's envy, pure and simple. Definitely not Christian. No way, no how.

Especially when you factor in all the genocide, world war, lies, and atheism that comes along with 'social justice.'

Let's face it, the Church is infiltrated with hard-core socialists.

Where else have I seen Satanism in the Church hierarchy?

One obvious example is the utter embrace of the Democratic Party Agenda, by the Bishops and Cardinals of the Church.

Think that one of them would censure ANY Democrat politician for his pro-abortion voting record, or other anti-family policies? Dream on.

Whom does the contemporary Church Bishop or Cardinal think is evil? They usually bash the GOP, corporate America, gun owners, males, whites, and all the usual right-wing suspects.

But I tell you the Church is so obviously on the wrong side of this Nativity Church issue, that it is comical.

It's like condemning a SWAT team for breaking a storefront window, after they had bravely subdued an armed robber, and saved a dozen hostages.

I'm saying, 'Huh?'

If so, then this is clear proof that the Pope can make mistakes in his judgements and statements...

This is not a case of the Pope speaking "ex cathedra" or "from the chair. That is rare and only on matters of dogma of concern to Catholics. In cases like this and on things not concerning the faith or morals of the Catholic Church the Pope is just as fallible as any other man.

I don't agree with the Vatican statements either for all of the same reasons we all know.
