Pope Francis Holy Land Triumph | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I am glad this pope, unlike his predecessors, did not bring a political agenda (although I am sure the Catholic Patriarch was hoping for a few stern words on his behalf). He was witnessing. Whether this was deliberate witness or spontaneous is only known by the Pope's inner circle. Sadly, he has become the intrument of peace in this conflict - something usually expected of the US President - however the last two Presidents have been so aligned with Israel (like others I know) there has been no room for acting as an honest broker.
I would still like Francis to say or do something regarding the Porajmos - but Israel is probably not the place for it - even though we Romany will continue to roam until we too are returned to our lands in the north (and we won't kick out the Arabs or Palestinians to do it - as the are likely our kin).
