How much would you say about that if you were living in Gaza and appearing on Palestinian Authority television?
On this rare occasion, I agree with Larry. Knowing how the Palestinian Authority lies about everything, why are we suddenly crediting them with telling the truth. If the Palis said that the sun rises in the East, I would assume that by some miracle the sun has started rising in the West. We notice a reference to both Latin and Roman clergy, which are terms normally used in the Middle East to refer to Western Rite Roman Catholics, so at least one of these terms is misused.
We know that there are some RC clergy under Palestinian rule who publicly side with the terrorists, but as a Catholic I take my ideas on truth from the Bible, the Pope, and the Ecumenical Councils. The Pope is, you may remember, a Western Christian himself.
The Copts are suffering terrible persecution in their ancestral Egyptian homeland (they are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, the Egyptian Arab majority are immigrant interlopers). They are Monophysites, unless they have changed this position, and are obviously less connected theologically with the Eastern Orthodox than the Orthodox are to their fellow Trinitarian Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants. Again, all Christians under Islamist rule are dhimmi hostages, and anything they may say has to be regarded in the light of that reality.
