Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Concern in Jerusalem
The EWTN News affiliate ACI MENA reports on warnings from George Akroush, director of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem’s Development Office, and Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa regarding Israeli land registration policies and the non-recognition of Palestinian teacher qualifications. These measures, they argue, threaten the “geographic and social continuity” of Jerusalem’s Christian community by risking Church property seizure and crippling Christian schools. The article frames the crisis in secular terms of “identity,” “human resources,” and “social fabric,” presenting the Church’s mission as primarily humanitarian and educational. The underlying thesis is that this reporting, while factually noting real pressures, completely evacuates the supernatural purpose of the Church and the non-negotiable duty of the Social Reign of Christ the King, thereby propagating the naturalistic humanism of the conciliar sect.
