Before 1947 they opposed the Balfour Declaration and the whole idea of turning Palestine into a Jewish state.<br /><br />The Vatican refused to even recognise the state of Israel until as recently as 1993 .The reasons for this one-sided approach to the Arab/Israeli conflict are obvious<br /><br />1. A proportion of Palestinians were (and are) Christian, so naturally the Papacy favoured them over Jews<br />2. The Vatican wanted to make Jerusalem an International zone (with access to the Holy Places uppermost in their mind) and rejected Israel's claim to the city.<br />3. There is a very long tradition of AntiSemitism in the Vatican.<br /><br />The reason the Church opposed the Jewish state is because Catholic theology at the time saw Jews as the 'damned' for their rejection of the Churches god. This, and the fact that Christianity was supposed to replace Judaism meant it to be theologically impossible for a Jewish state to be reconstructed. The creation of something calling itself the Jewish state, and allowing the return of the Jews to their homeland was thus a direct contradiction to Catholicism. This was of course one of the drivers for the church to ditch that piece of anti-semitic dogma, as its retention was a self-disproving inconvenience. Now there is no dogmatic reason to be against the state of Israel, but two thousands years of history are hard to wipe out. So far from being "fearless", any pro-Palestinian statement by the Pope will simplyrepeat what has been their policy ever since Israel was established.Sholmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-67650264255061251292014-06-20T16:39:04.667+01:002014-06-20T16:39:04.667+01:00As a Catholic I also agree that Israel needs to di...As a Catholic I also agree that Israel needs to dismantle and return the land to the Palestinians.

No one gives a fuck about them here. of course Israel is an Apartheid regime and if they did not have arabs to beat upon and demean as we in our guit trips are like pay to view supporters of tha Apartheid and its brutal nature they would turn upon themselves as in all their history was their want.<br />Can't judge to far beyond that as then US christans are gonaninvade with Jesus in the lead-sad but true - the zionists and their ilk have jockeyed themselves into every position of political power across the globe for at least the last 100 yrs. Is it really a wonder why we're not allowed to talk about it? Because people are finally waking up and seeing it with their own eyes regardless of what, or how many, trolls they pay to try to conceal the truth or sway public opinion. For the morons that keep gagging everyone with the lie of "oh poor isreal isn't doing anything but protecting itself" I ask you from whom? Palestine doesn't have a military! <br />If your response is Hamas then you might want to research who created Hamas... if there is no enemy then just create one - it's what they do.Atheist Shruggednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-75982750709178184942014-06-20T16:03:22.352+01:002014-06-20T16:03:22.352+01:00Gill
