Mala fe sobre el Santo Sepulcro de Jerusalem

The Iranian regime responds by, among other things, bombing Jerusalem.

The rocket or its remnants are looking for the Wailing Wall, the Mezquita de Al Aqsa and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

The Israeli government is making it clear that any responsible government will have its place, and since you do not have the freedom to worship without body protection, it is temporarily banning access to all Holy Sites without exception.

Llega el Domingo de Ramos. The Latin Patriarch introduces himself. A scrupulous policy and no doubt pays the norm to the end.

And after social redes, sales, cancellations, again and again, the whole machinery of indignation comes together: the same people who were just left behind when the project came within a meter of the Church of Christ, are now against an intolerable attack on religious freedom and demand an immediate replenishment of the book accessible in the Holy Places.

Moreover, Israel explains, justifies, and dispels the misconception. Nada sir. It’s grotesque.

Cases to fix will add your vote to this deplorable gig. And you have to fight even more when it comes to the valiant moments of rowing on the ongoing journey.

But don’t worry, it won’t be long coming. And since environmental ignorance is so bad and memory is so short, let me re-record a few truths.

Do you know that before coming to Israeli territory, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, like the other Holy Places, was under Jordanian rule and before that, Ottoman rule?

But since the Wailing Wall was practically forbidden to Jewish pilgrims or the Al Aqsa Mosque was closed to Israeli Arabs, did access to the Holy Sepulcher depend on random permits, high demands and humiliating prices?

You know, when in 1967, Gen Moše Dayan Is the banner over Jerusalem, the church, its entrances, its bell towers, some of its chapels, its rotunda, in a terribly degraded state?

Is it possible to record that it is from this moment and only from this moment that these places are really protected? Do you have open access to everyone?

The renovation is done on the cable according to the complication rules the status quo between the three Greek, Armenian and Catholic Churches?

All under the auspices of the Jewish state who, without claiming ownership of the places, secures their safekeeping and sometimes referees? Gracias, Israel.

But the most painful thing is that this charity is created at the very moment when the non-governmental organization Open Doors publishes its annual report on the situation of Christians in the world. In this case, no response is allowed.

One of every Christian lives on fe con miedo.

Communities in Africa and Asia are being harassed, hosted, dying.

In Nigeria (where a year ago, sounding the alarm, big news for Match in Paris) The Church is new, as once Cipriano de Cartago, “probada en el fuego”.

In Syria (lower Ahmed al-Chareh) as well as in Yemen (in what was under the empire of Iranian mules), the Christians of the East, who only make me a defender, look for the time of this eradication that will occur in my films and books. Chateaubriand they are Route from Paris to Jerusalem.

In short, while we byzantinely discuss the level of security in Jerusalem, besides, it is the miracle of this massive reality that makes Christians globally one of the most popular religious groups and, as Chateaubriand said, “abandoned by empires” and “defended without defense”.

Another coincidence of times, but a happy one.

I look forward to seeing, during my years, the rue d’Ulm, the Historia ecclesiastica de Eusebius of Caesareain the Cerf editorial.

There I encountered the lethargy of names, pleas, and famous cases of martyrdom of the first Christians.

And I will attach the book to you Le Chant Cathedralin Les Belles Lettres, de Maxence Caron. Los lektores de Notepad quizá recuerden Greetings, three years ago, in your previous work, a treatise on philosophy.

The book I read today is dizzying for several reasons.

Volume: 1300 pages.

On structure: see songs.

Genre: epic and eternal poem.

Tone: lyricism and anger, lethargy and prayer, blessing and fury.

Models: sacred speakers and above all Bossuetto whom he owes the publication, also in Les Belles Lettres, of his political writings.

Ambition: to face a senseless act, not to decide the world, but to repay it through the Word.

Language: the great French worked in Latin, mixed with Hebrew and where there are often centuries Lautréamont or of “mad magic,” of “false mouths,” and of “vulgar riots,” which they did not condemn Guyotate.

And here is the result: the total work of what I could not say is a meditation, a song, a pleasant legend, a thought experience, a poem.

A few months ago, he claimed here, “ray texts, non-transferable but razonados, destructive but beneficial, uninhabitable except for some other people”. Here it is.
