"Elder Brothers in the Faith" Hate the Central Symbol of our Faith

Increasingly more open hatred for the cross, childish lying, ridiculous demands: such are the fruits of religious relations with "The Jews."

Led by the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Schoenborn, the bishops visited several sites, including the town of Bethlehem and Israel's Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem.
