"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday gave Pope Francis a book about the Inquisition in Spain written by his late father, an expert on the Catholic Church’s forced conversion and expulsion of Jews in the 15th century.
Netanyahu presented a Spanish translation of the 1995 book, “The Origins of the Inquisition,” to Francis during their 25-minute private audience. He also gave the pope a large silver menorah.
Netanyahu’s father, Ben-Zion Netanyahu, was an Israeli historian who died last year. A Zionist activist who opposed partitioning Palestine between Arabs and Jews, he was best known in academic circles for his research into the medieval Inquisition against the Jews of Spain.
“To his Holiness Pope Franciscus, a great shepherd of our common heritage,” the Israeli leader wrote on the inside front page of the book.
Netanyahu joked that while his father spoke perfect Spanish as a result of his research “my Spanish doesn’t exist.” The Israeli leader and Argentine pope spoke through a translator.
Francis thanked him and presented Netanyahu with a small bronze plaque of St. Paul.
A Vatican statement said discussions between the Israeli and Vatican delegations focused on restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and Francis’ upcoming pilgrimage to the Holy Land. While no dates have been set, the trip is expected sometime in May and is also expected to include a stop in Jordan." SRN
Hmmm...what other church leaders (like head of the United Methodists, Southern Baptists, Evangelical Lutheran, Assemblies of God, Seventh Day Adventist, United Church of Christ, etc.) has the Israeli Prime Minister met with for a private "audience"? Hmmm....
...and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:3
P.S. ... the Little Horn of Daniel & Beast of Revelation are NOT any particular Pope, but rather the entity of Papal Rome.
