Israel better know who their friends are or they will find themselves with daggers in their back.
Unfortunately, you miss my point. I was referring to the conservative author of the critique of Notre Dame at the head of this thread. This conservative Catholic excoriated Notre Dame (rightly) for honoring Obama but then turned around and said Obama's position on Israel is better.
Traditional Catholic theology is NOT friendly to Zionism. Many right wing Catholics are in fact quite hostile to Israel (though certainly Israel also has many conservative Catholic friends as well). Unfortunately, the article's author seems to be among Israel's critics.
