Syria: Israel Destroys the Cross on Mount Hermon

By Gianni Toffali

As soon as they invaded Syria and Mount Hermon, Israeli soldiers dismantled the large crucifix that had stood on top of the mountain for decades.

ISIS and Al-Qaeda would have done the same. Obviously the cross is intolerable to them, an unacceptable 'scandal', as St Paul wrote.

The Vatican is in interreligious dialogue with other religions. It is a pity that the intentions (= pious illusions) of the Pontifical Council for Religious Dialogue do not go beyond the walls of the Vatican.

Or, more pragmatically, they remain a dead letter because the recipients use them as a bonfire.

There is no comment or condemnation from the Vatican.

Now, to prove that the gesture of the occupiers under the Star of David is due to an "excess of short-sightedness", it would be nice if the regime in Tel Aviv would apologise to the Church.

When the stubborn 'optimists' in the Vatican realise that illusion is what fills the gaps left by reality, there will be little or nothing left of Christianity.
