Armenian Catholics reject Jerusalem as Israel's capital

[Open Heart]

I more or less expect the opinions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East to be anti-Semitic.

He is not a renegade, he is a Patriach of an Eastern church in communion with the Latin church

The Armenian Apostolic Church is not in communion with Rome. It's part of the Oriental Orthodox communion.

It's not helpful to accuse everyone who opposes recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel of anti-antisemitism. Anti-antisemitism is hatred of the Jewish race, the statement provided in the OP does not sound antisemitic.

I thought it was an Eastern Rite Patriarch that was quoted? are you sure it is an OO Patriarch?

Not everyone who opposes recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is antisemitic. On the other hand, everyone who is antisemitic will oppose recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

According to Wikipedia, Aram I is an Armenian Apostolic Catholicos, which is apparently what they call their patriarchs or bishops. He's not the head one (that's Karekin II), but appears to be over a city or district. I'm guessing he's like the number two guy or somesuch.

The Armenian Apostolic Church is the national church of Armenia and is in the OO communion. The Armenian Catholic Church is the Eastern Rite version.

I never said the Jews had a Historical right to the city, no one has a historical right to any thing. God owns all the earth and he has the right to give parts to who ever he wants and has the right to take a way from who ever he wants. The world would not have this problem if the Jews had obeyed God and exterminated everyone in that land when God gave it to them.

My only statement is that Israel has every right to make Jerusalem their Capital regardless of some pompous false religion like the Armenian Catholics.

Are you also calling the Lutherans, Episcopalians, Catholics and Orthodox "pompous false religions"?

It seems that size matters. Big religions like Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy (in general) get respect, but small denominations get brushed aside quickly as being "pompous false religions".
