Vatican In Talks With Saudis To Open Churches In The Kingdom
Big, big news from Hot Air:
Secret negotiations are taking place between the Vatican and Saudi Arabia to allow Christian churches in the strictly Muslim country, reports the Italian daily, La Stampa.
The Vatican is negotiating with Saudi Arabia for “authorisation to build Catholic churches,” says archbishop Mounged El-Hachem, papal nuncio of Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Bahrein and the United Arab Emirates.
According to La Stampa, the secret talks, favoured by Saudi King Abdullah, have been taking place for several weeks and are considered an unprecedented for the Catholic church…
The Italian newspaper claimed on Monday that up to 900,000 Catholics live in Saudi Arabia, all of them expatriate workers.
Hot Air askes, "Does this mean Bibles will be legal in the Kingdom, or is that simply far too dangerous a reform? Exit question two: What’s the connection between this and the church that just opened in Qatar? I wonder if Benedict pressed to have that one built first knowing there’d be less resistance, so that he could wave it at the Saudis as a precedent."
I say: That ought to set us up nicely for the destruction of the seven hilled city.
