cathcucks SEETHING that the pope says from the river to the sea

Also interesting to bring up is the conversation Theodor Herzl had with Pope Pius X back in 1904:

[Herzl:] "But, Holy Father, the Jews are in terrible straits. I don't know if Your Holiness is acquainted with the full extent of this sad situation. We need a land for these persecuted people."

[Pius X:] "Does it have to be Gerusalemme?"

[Herzl:] "We are not asking for Jerusalem, but for Palestine—only the secular land."

[Pius X:] "We cannot be in favor of it."

[Herzl:] "Does Your Holiness know the situation of the Jews?"

[Pius X:] "Yes, from my Mantua days. Jews live there. And I have always been on good terms with Jews. Only the other evening two Jews were here to see me. After all, there are other bonds than those of religion: courtesy and philanthropy. These we do not deny to the Jews. Indeed, we also pray for them: that their minds be enlightened. This very day the Church is celebrating the feast of an unbeliever who, on the road to Damascus, became miraculously converted to the true faith. And so, if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we shall have churches and priests ready to baptize all of you."

I mean, it is a disputed territory, basically no Muslim country recognized Israel until the 21st century.

Edit: OK, the '90s. Who cares.

sure, but it's still funny to see catholics crying about it

even then kinda called it a disputed territory

No rslur, that's a direct acknowledgement that the occupied territories are disputed and doesn't take a position on which ones Israel will eventually keep.

That's how you do nativity scenes. It is odd to have baby jesus already.

he didn't say israel has a right to defend himself so god smote him

we wuz jesus n shieet

He means palestinian Christians are the only true claimants to the holy land by jus sanguinis and jus soli

Does a bear poop in the Vatican?
