Vatican Relations With Israel
Headline News, Historic Documents & History
FIRST-EVER: Relations between the Papacy of ROME and Israel were finally established in 1993, 94 and 1997 by John Paul II after almost 2000 years of ROME's hate, per- secutions and atrocities towards the Jews 'for killing Jesus'. [ Papacy of Rome history ]
After centuries of the Popes of ROME's hatred & atrocities towards Jews, Vatican II [1965] finally deleted the term 'perfidious Jews' [ie. evil, deceitful, treacherous] from the Catholic prayer on Good Friday. The new 'Nostra Aetate Declaration' [1965] also finally re-versed the Popes' accusation for hundreds of years that Jews were responsible for the 'deicide [killing of God] ' & also finally reversed the Popes' long-standing doctrine that there exists a collective indictment against the Jews because of Christ's crucifixion.
[ July 2007 / News: Benedict XVI re-instates version of 'perfidious Jews' prayer offensive to Jews ]
[Vatican long demanded international control over Jerusalem; Vatican promised to keep out of Arab-Israel politics; Vatican's steadfast refusal over the years to recognize Israel angered Israel leaders] [ *Dozens of News articles over the last 20 years showing the Papacy not 'keeping out' of Israel and Mideast politics as the Papacy promised, but in fact, taking the world's forefront TODAY in publicly demanding Israel's compliance with the Vatican's unmatched continued global demand for Israel's submission. ]
