Cardinal Pizzaballa Intervenes - Israeli Military Stormed Christian Village

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem reportedly intervened with Israeli authorities after its military attempted to stop preparations for a Catholic Marian festival in the Christian Palestinian town of Taybeh on May 29.

Israeli military vehicles entered the village during preparations for the annual celebration honoring Our Lady and ordered organizers to leave the area.

Witnesses also claimed that a stun grenade was deployed during the incident.

The parish priest overseeing the event immediately contacted Church authorities. The matter was then elevated to Cardinal Pizzaballa, who spoke with Israeli officials and secured permission for the festival to proceed.

“Our fear this morning was that radical settlers would disrupt preparations for the Marian Festival. Instead, it was far more disturbing to watch the Israeli military intervene,” said Lex Pouliot of the Vulnerable People Project, who was present in Taybeh.

Taybeh, regarded as the last entirely Christian Palestinian town in the West Bank, has faced increasing tensions in recent years, including reports of settler encroachments and restrictions affecting local residents and religious life.

Or maybe Russia is an Israeli proxy, as is the US of A.

Not according to the teachings of the Catholic Church!

Well, the Virgin when she appeared in Fatima said Russia would be the instrument of our chastisement, and would spread her errors throughout the whole world. I can certainly see the spreaading of her errors; atheism, abortion, destruction of the family...

Israel a Russian proxy.

We hear from people who live in Russia or have visited there recently that Christianity is alive and well…regular orthodox, Russian orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant and they care about the morality of their people especially the children…As for the Fatima consecration we remember that John Paul Ii did do it…as well as another pope before him…..and her errors are being corrected daily…Are we any holier, do we respect our families and children…We are generally no better than Russia or any other nation who seems to be indifferent to the Ten Commandments or to Jesus.

@Everyday for Life Canada No generally the States aren't any better because we have already fallen into the grip of the "errors of Russia." Speaking of the heretical schismatic Russian Orthodox Church however, it is now a creature of the Soviet State and displeaseing in God's eyes. @Chris Muniee Has an excellent post on this particular subject Another Overlooked "Error of Russia" Our biggest problem in the West is misunderstanding what Russia actually is and attributing to it lofty ideals that down play its significance in the ongoing,destruction of the Catholic West. God bless you!
