Yeah, these fundimentalists seem to forget that Jesus went to pray at the Temple...funny how all these reenterpertations crop up.

As for the Catholic Church, it is run by sell outs and cowards who have already bought their prayer rugs. Never mind that Islamics at gun point stormed a Catholic church and all-Christian shrine and took the clergy hostage...that seems a ok.

Hey, take it easy, champ. The Pope is not some kind of one-sided political figure who makes remarks off the cuff. He has repeatedly endorsed Israel's right to self-defense, and did it again today. That goes well beyond anyone in the EU.

JPII's concern for Palestinians--a minority of whom actually want peace (sadly, it is a minority, but that's what the Gaza and West Bank polls really do say about Palestinians' views on the suicide bombings)--is well-founded, even if it's clear that Israel's military action is necessary.

A lot of us Catholics are backing Israel heartily in her hour of need, so it seems a bad time to start beating up on us now.

Queen Isabela of Spain didn't have the full support of the Pope either when the Spaniards rescued Spain from the Muslims.
