Neo-Church Hierarchy Begs Caesar for Protection While Denying Christ the King
The EWTN News portal reports that the “patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem”—officials of the conciliar sect occupying the Holy Places—issued a statement condemning attacks by Israeli settlers on the Palestinian village of Taybeh during the olive harvest. The statement, framed entirely in the language of secular humanitarianism, decries “wide-scale terror,” demands “accountability” from Israeli authorities, welcomes the intervention of European diplomats and a U.S. delegation led by the “ambassador to the Holy See,” and expresses hope that “law enforcement would continue in a serious and consistent manner.” Nowhere does the statement invoke the Kingship of Christ over nations, the duty of the Church to demand the conversion of infidels, or the supernatural end of the faithful; it reduces the Bride of Christ to an NGO pleading for “protection of civilians” and “access to agricultural land” from the very secular powers the Syllabus condemns.
