Bethlehem is an open air prison and the Pope is the only one who can acknowledge it.

Way before 1944, all members of the Hitler Youth (including the future Pope) were basically <I>drafted</I> into the organization; any parents who resisted were punished. Besides, in 1944, German military manpower and materiel were at such a low point that teenagers had to be used at such sites as anti-aircraft batteries, as the future Pope was used.<br /><br />By the same token, Fr. Lombardi's stupidity reflects the fact that centralized, isolated bureaucracies are pathetically inefficient and incompetent. That has nothing to do with Catholic theology; just go to your neighborhood DMV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745871952419330865.post-90205159903534236892009-05-12T16:27:00.000-07:002009-05-12T16:27:00.000-07:00Wow, Queen Rania is beautiful!Wow, Queen Rania is beautiful!Tito Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218771096085701665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745871952419330865.post-2935784933019978672009-05-12T15:13:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:13:00.000-07:00Thank you, Christopher, for the excellent overview...Thank you, Christopher, for the excellent overview of the Pope's visit to the Mid-East.

They fault the pope for not having walked out while the speech was being given. The expectation is that the pope have either ESP or the gift of tongues, I am guessing.<br /><br />Many Jews throw the Nazi Label on anyone who has an opinion not shared by extreme Zionist elements. The fact remains that the pope’s family members were murdered by the Nazis and calling the pope a Nazi is equally distasteful to him as it is to Jews who lost family members to the Nazi atrocities. There are extremist elements on both the Israeli and Palestinian side. These terrorists want noting the total destruction of the other and view the giving the any quarter as treason to their own tribe.<br /><br />Ironically, the method of the creation of Israel has been the a great cuse of the divide between Israelis and Palestinians. There was no negotiated settlement but one of terrorism on both sides which drove the British out and a settlement was arbitrarily imposed without consultation by external actors without consultation by external forces. What Israel hoped to have is peace by subjugation which in the end is no peace at all. However, today, due to the animosity created it is hard to find a partner in peace among the Muslim Palestinians who want nothing more than the total destruction of the State of Israel.<br /><br />Sure, the pope was enrolled into the Hitler Youth automatically when the school handed over the attendance record to the Nazi state as required by German law. However, the Ratzinger deserted his AAA post twice, the second time successfully. His own father, George Ratzinger resigned his post as inspector of police when the Nazis took over and when law enforcement into the Nazi party was made obligatory for all law enforcement personnel. <br /><br />The truth of the matter is that those Jews who have slandered the pope are uncharitable demagogues who have nothing to offer but extremism and violence to further their own genocidal tribal fascination with fanaticism and death who are no different form the Nazis and their Cult of Death.<br /><br />Ezra bar YoelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745871952419330865.post-64651048951488559822009-05-11T18:57:00.000-07:002009-05-11T18:57:00.000-07:00Thanks for the clarification.

(cemiami@att.net)<br /><br />Passage below:<br /><br />"However, I have to point out that the Pope is currently involved in another controversy where he is laying claim to areas of Jerusalem. Apparently, this is an old controversy, and he is not the first Pope to lay claim to these areas. <br /><br />"However, I think, quite frankly, that it is evil and it is completely against the passage in Romans which warns we Christians not to be arrogant against our brothers, the Jews. I also think it is a vioation of the passage in Exodus which says, "I will bless those who bless thee, and I will curse those who curse thee."<br /><br />"I also think it is part of what is predicted in Zechariah 12 when the Lord says that Israel will become a stone too heavy to lift for all the nations of the world, and Pslams which says that Israel will be a stumbling block for the nations.<br /><br />"And, I think it is part and parcel of the prophecy which was fulfilled (in part) in Christ's time when the Roman soldiers cast lots for the clothing of Jesus.<br /><br />"Very bad sign, and the Pope, it seems to me, has stumbled into it innocently enough.<br /><br />"He should stay out of Israel's business, other than to support her. The Bible clearly warns him.<br /><br />"I'm very disheartened by this. Not because I think the Pope is evil, but because I believe it is a signal of very bad things to come."<br /><br />________________Carlos Echevarriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269462014526091464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745871952419330865.post-38437765383227566652009-05-10T10:19:00.000-07:002009-05-10T10:19:00.000-07:00Carlos, why does your Protestant friend think it's...Carlos, why does your Protestant friend think it's evil to got to Israel?Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469622835449220113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745871952419330865.post-20281794909466136842009-05-10T10:17:00.000-07:002009-05-10T10:17:00.000-07:00Did you notice how happy the Holy Father looked?
