Israel seems to have sold Jerusalem
to the Vatican.
From Giulio Meotti
An historic agreement has been
drafted between Israel and the Vatican. The Israeli authorities have granted
the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have
taken place, on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and where David and Solomon, Jewish
kings of Judea, are considered by some researchers, to also be buried. It
is the culmination of a long campaign by the Catholic Church to regain
religious stewardship over the place where Jesus is supposed to have broken
bread and drunk wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion. This
is an enormous issue pushed through without any public debate.
According to our sources, the
agreement, which is expected to be ratified next June, gives the Pope a
“special authority” over the second floor of the building, so that Christian
pilgrims will be able to celebrate religious functions like Pope John Paul did
in 2000. The agreement constitutes Israel’s capitulation to the
Vatican’s efforts to “Christianize” the holy site, like when a Catholic convent
was built in Auschwitz.
The Catholic Church has long wanted
control over part of the area on Mt. Zion so as to turn it into an
international religious center for Catholics. The blueprint of the agreement
reads as follows: “The Vatican hands over this use of the Cenacle to the
Custody of the Holy Land which will keep the Cenacle open from 6 AM to 8 AM for
the celebration of the Holy Mass”.
In the long term, the gesture will
increase tensions between Jews and the large assets of the Vatican. The Church
has long been working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem and in the Old City.
Now, after the Muslim Waqf authority expelled the Christians from the Temple
Mount and turned it into a mosque, it’s the turn of the Vatican to lay its
hands on the Jewish Jerusalem.
