The events in Jerusalem of Palm Sunday are hard to call a state's disgrace, which declares a commitment to spiritual freedom. The Israeli police prevented the entry into the Basilica of the Lord's Sepulchre to the Latin patriarchs of Jerusalem cardinals. Pierbattist Pizzaballi and the curator of the Holy Land. It wasn't about the crowd, it wasn't about the riots – the clergy went privately, without a procession. They were detained and turned back.
The planet condemned the judaic escalation around the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. The event under the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre is not an incidental separated from the wider context. There are more and more voices that Israel's policy towards Christians takes the form of systemic restrictions, translated by "security considerations". The problem is that this explanation ceases to convince anyone – even the Christians themselves surviving in the Holy Land who talk about leaving the principles of freedom of worship.
International reactions were clear. president of France Emmanuel Macron expressed his “full support for Christians” and explicitly condemned the actions of the Israeli police, pointing to “an alarming increase in violations of the position of holy places”. Similarly, Italy – Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni considered the decision an insult to spiritual freedom and the head of diplomacy Antonio Tajani He spoke straight about the situation of “unacceptable”. besides the president of Poland Karol Nawrocki he spoke, writing about "no respect for Christian tradition" and expressing his opposition to blocking mass at specified a crucial minute in the liturgical year.
Against this background, there is simply a peculiarly clear discrimination between the seriousness of the situation and the reaction of any church institutions in Poland. Message The Polish Episcopal Conference – short, conservative and lacking real content – gives the impression of an administrative note, not a voice in defence of fundamental rights of the faithful. At a time erstwhile European leaders are talking about violating spiritual freedom, it is hard to realize why the institution set up to defend it is limited to a fewer generals, more as if it simply wanted to “check off” that it has even spoken on this subject.
“I met the card office. Pierbattist of Pizzaball, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and Fr. Francesco Ielpo OFM, curator of the Holy Land about preventing them from holding the Palm Sunday Liturgy at the Basilica of the Sepulchre of God. I'm full sympathizing with him. And I do it in the name, not against the dialog of Christians and Jews” – wrote Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, who, due to his utmost worship for Jewry, is increasingly called “rabbit” in the network. Not only the laconicity of the message, but besides the symbolic writing of “Christians” from the lowercase and “Jews” from the large.
One can get the impression that we are dealing with an alarming asymmetry: secular politicians talk clearly about the problem, while part of the church hierarchy chooses safe silence or half means to not endanger its authority, a fresh race of masters.
Israel, erstwhile making specified decisions, strikes not only the circumstantial clergy, but the rule of spiritual freedom. If a state that wants to be seen as democratic limits access to the holiest places of Christianity during the most crucial holidays, it is hard to talk of an incident. This is simply a signal of totalitarian politics, which is increasingly little crucial to the rights of spiritual minorities. Even if in specified a situation the reaction of any Catholic elites is silence or flash statements – it is simply a sign that the problem is no longer just in Jerusalem. This shows how far the judaic arrangements go and who is the shabesgoi.
