    How does it not involve his religion? His parishioners live in Gaza. He’s not a random Iowa priest, his jurisdiction is in Israel. I also think this is naïve, but what do you think a better step to take here would be?

      Not inserting himself into this for cheap publicity would be far more respectful. He’s making catholics look great in the media though so I’m sure he will be rewarded for this.

      If he wants to help, he should help people on the ground where he is.

        What does a cardinal do with all of this Ill-gotten publicity? What kind of aim would incentivize such an otherwise-irrational move just to get publicity?

        What should he have answered, when asked if he would take their place? This cardinal’s first public comment on the subject was to answer yes, when reporters asked him if he would take their place. I assume he’s willing to do it, so it’s better not to just lie about that.
