Again, you declare your concerns for Christian brothers everywhere. You seem really focused on Israel for Christmas trees, while your brothers are being tortured and murdered throughout the middle east. I don't recall any threads by you addressing those issues. I wonder why?
Here is a good Catholic perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I encourage you to check it out: A Catholic Narrative of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | The American Catholic

It is not a State in the traditional sense. It is an admintrative headquarters. Please describe how it is a State...and who's land did the Pope steal and occupy for it?

Lol, the Vatican is a state in every sense. If you are uncertain as to why it is a state look to the CIA Factbook. I can't continue to spoon feed you.

Ah, now we are getting to the nub of the issue, anti semitism. Ok do a little homework and look at the history of Israel.

Just out of curiosity..are they in Saudi, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Iraq, or any other Middle Eastern Country?...or are they in the one place that makes the story relevant to their lives???

Is this simply another post to highlight the hypocrisy of Israel and the bigotry of those that blindly support it?

Anti-Semitism? What did I say negatively about the Jewish religion?

Did you read the link I gave you?: A Catholic Narrative of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | The American Catholic

And what about this one?: Note Generali :

Quote:
The State of Vatican City was born with the Lateran Treaty, signed on 11 February 1929 between the Holy See and Italy, which marked the personality of the sovereign body of public international law, established to assure the Holy See, in his capacity as the supreme institution of the Catholic Church, "the absolute and visible independence and assure indisputable sovereignty also in the international arena", as stated in the preamble of the said Treaty.
It's not a country like the US or Canada is a country. It is only a home for the Pope.
