The Pope In Israel

Ulrich W. Sahm hGalil writes about diplomatic reprobaciones between Israel and the Vatican. They discussed issues such as who, when or where he was going to give a speech and in which zone. Jerusalen Mayor Nir Barkat, had invited for example the papal delegation to a magical afternoon in Jerusalem. As the place of congregation was planned in the eastern region of the city, which Israel conquered in 1967, and since the Vatican does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem, this demanded the Mayor to refrain from giving a speech of welcome. This gave reason to the Vatican received the following response: the Mayor will give a speech. Who wants to come to the ceremony of welcome, come. The celebration will be held in any way.

Israeli newspapers reported with comments from enmity and malhumorados about the papal visit starting Monday. IM-POPular headline Jedijot Achronot on a double page article on the visit of the German blessed Benedict, who was once a soldier in Hitler's army and the militia. A famous survivor of the Holocaust, Noah Kliger, recalled a speech by Joseph Ratzinger in the town of Auschwitz in January 2006. Mr Kliger concluded his comments with some uneasiness, noting: as we know, the ways of God to people, both Jews and Christians, we are unknown. This seems to be valid also for the ways of the representative of God on Earth. Before such a bad environment in the country, Israel has set in motion a huge white tunic protection action.

80,000 policemen and officers have participated in it, thus becoming the operation of larger security that has existed in the history of Israel. However as Jesus de Nazareth came into Israel gets approx. did 2000 years, mounted on the back of a donkey, possibly alongside 12 unarmed escorts. What they both Benedicto XVI fears? Do you have anything bad It awareness?, because if not so he could travel more easily to Jerusalem, giving a good example. Perhaps they are their conflicting statements against the use of the condom, which always have unpleasant consequences for him. In the Netherlands for example, him has declared a people's Court of the Reality Television guilty, responsible for the deaths of millions of people suffering from AIDS. The Pope can be protected by 80,000 policemen. But, why don't you trust in God, if he is his representative on Earth? When Jesus de Nazareth passed by Earth, said clearly: My Kingdom is not of this world. And precisely in the Bible of the Pope is written: My Kingdom is not of this world; If my Kingdom were of this world, my ministers would have struggled, so that it was not delivered to the Jews, but my Kingdom is not from here. (Juan 18.
