Arab paper bemoans Church no longer blaming Jews for killing Jesus

A writer for Cairo Portal is upset at Pope Francis' visit to Herzl's grave and the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, but that is just the start.

This act is a grubby, ugly shame, especially compared to the position of Pope Pius X, at a meeting with Herzl in 1904, and his refusal to strictly to create a state for the Jews, saying his famous statement: "we can not," calling Jews at the same time to convert to Christianity!

After 110, what he's done is a flagrant shame, and it reveals and condemns the attitude of the Catholic Church: the Church deviates from the plan, and does not stop making concessions to the Zionists, at the expense of their faith and beliefs, especially over the past sixty years. The doctrinal starting point for this blatant act goes back to Vatican II (1962-1965), especially to the document "Nostra Aetate" that cleared the Jews of Christ's blood ... and put an end to the prophecy of Jesus about the demolition of the temple and the demolition of corrupt and hateful character of Judaism!

The Vatican II represents an ugly gap can not be bridged in the long history of the Catholic Church, that overthrew-its text and beliefs and heritage in order to exonerate the Jews of the blood of Christ; note that the sentences against the [Jews] are still currently in circulation in the Gospels. Therefore, this institution has lost any credibility with followers....

A final shame: to see the Vatican bend to the wishes of the Zionist Protocols and visit the Wailing Wall, which originally and historically is the Muslim Buraq wall, and put a bouquet of flowers on the grave of Herzl and visit Yad Vashem, the memorial place of the Holocaust..I add that the words "the ugliness of the Holocaust" does not represent anything, does not represent anything at all compared to the murder of an entire people.

In related news, the PA's official schoolbooks for Christian children also say that the Jews were responsible for Jesus' death.
