Jerusalem (AFP) - The head of the Roman Catholic church in the Holy Land protested Tuesday against Israel's demolition of a church-owned property in annexed east Jerusalem, saying it eroded chances for peace.

"This act is against the law, against justice and against humanity, against any ideology upon which peace can be built and increases segregation and hate," Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fuad Tawwal told journalists at the site of the demolition.

Israeli security forces and bulldozers arrived at the house at 5:00 am (0300 GMT) on Monday with a previously unseen demolition order, claiming it had been built without a permit, according to its residents -- a family of 14.

But Tawwal said the property, on Jerusalem's southeastern edge close to the West Bank city of Bethlehem, had been standing since before 1967, when Israel seized Arab east Jerusalem in the Six-Day War.

"We didn't receive any orders for the demolition" beforehand, Tawwal added.

For what? The Middle Eastern churches' anti-Semitism?

Have you ever heard of Hilarion Capucci? Or read any of the pronouncements of the various patriarchs in Jerusalem?

How about the Middle East Council of Churches' statement that "Zionist chrstianity is not chrstianity at all?"

You have the Internet. It's all at your fingertips.

I once asked a traveling evangelist what percentage of the congregation of an average church he preached in were “saved” and knew the Lord. I guessed at maybe no more than 10%. He replied he believed it to be less than 5%.

Since only G_d can know and judge a man’s heart, it would be hard to verify those percentages, but IMHO, it be safe to say that most Christians are Christian In Name Only.

What percentage of Jews walk “upright” before G_d?

Isn’t it odd that certain “Christians” would care about a people who don’t care one bit about the New Testament, and even less about Jesus?
