The Catholic Church and Israel

Just read this:

Senior Catholic cleric: 'If Jews want respect, they must respect others'

In the wake of the 'price tag' vandalism at the Latrun monastery, Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa cautions Israelis over how Christians are treated in Israel.

Now, I do not at all wish to take away from my anger, chagrin and condemnation at the act of torching and vandalism.  Not all.

It's criminal.  Bad. Wrong.

It is stupid.  Unhelpful.

It is damaging for sure.

But, just wait a second their Father Pizzaballa.

After what a few, alright, many Popes have done and said, what Crusaders have done, Catholic priests, kidnappings of Jewish children, guttersnipe hatred, and more, let's just keep things in proportion.
