Christian Missions 2009
On May 11, the pope arrived in Israel for an official visit. This trip is always a delicate diplomatic issue, was followed very closely by everyone.
Spiegel Online spoke of a very slippery tour of the Holy Land, where the Pope will visit the Wailing Wall and the Holocaust Memorial Jat is schem. In the past, Benedict XVI has failed to enrage the Jews only, but also Muslims.
The German newspaper Die Zeit, wrote on May 7, 2009, in a article entitled "Pope Visit: Sitting in the chair of Peter Delicado" which was a difficult mission to the Holy Land: "The visit of Benedict XVI Israel puts the future of his pontificate on the line.
Ulrich W. Sahm of haGalil wrote about diplomatic disapproval between Israel and the Vatican. It addressed issues such as who holds a speech when and where and in what place of these meetings will take place. The mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, for example, invites the papal delegation to a night "magic in Jerusalem." But since the event was scheduled to take place in the eastern part of the city, which Israel first took over in 1967, and since the Vatican does not recognize Jewish sovereignty over East Jerusalem, the Vatican supposedly necessary in the reception, Mayor to refrain from giving a speech. The Vatican's response was clear and to the point: The mayor will give a speech. From May next to the reception, come. In any event, the ceremony would take place.
The newspapers in Israel reported on the papal visit in hostile tone and caustic comments. "A-Pop-ular" was the title Jedijot a Achronot article about the impending visit of the German "blessed" Benedict XVI, who was once a young soldier in the armed forces of Hitler.
A well-known Holocaust survivor Noah Kliger, recalled a speech by Joseph Ratzinger in Auschwitz in January 2009. Kliger closed his comments with "feelings found "and declared:" As we know, God's ways are not known to us, whether Jews or Christians. Apparently, this applies to forms of representative of God on Earth. "
In view of this mood in the country, Israel's secret service mobilized a security action for the giant mantle of the "white". A 80,000 strong police force, including agents, participated in this measure. It was the largest action ever undertaken security in the history of Israel.
When Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem some 2000 years ago, rode a donkey, probably accompanied by 12 companions unarmed. What does fear for Benedict XVI? Do you have a guilty conscience? Because otherwise, could travel much more modestly, to Jerusalem, having this a good model.
Perhaps it has something to do with his controversial statements on the condom, which brought him very unpleasant reactions. In the Netherlands, for example, a popular television court charged him, declaring him responsible for the deaths of millions of victims of AID.
The pope leaves protected by a police force of 80,000 strong. Why not trust God, when he is their representative on Earth?! During his life, Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world.
We can read this with enough precision in the Bible the Pope: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my followers would fight so I will not be delivered to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom not from here. "(John 18:36).
So if the Pope needs a security force of 80,000, you might wonder if the kingdom of the pope is not more of this world …
