Israeli Foreign Minister launches "violent and vulgar" attack to the Pope
by Arieh Cohen

Jerusalem (AsiaNews) - The Israeli Foreign Ministry has instructed Israel's newspapers to launch an unprecedentedly crude and violent attack on the Person of Pope Benedict XVI. In its instructions addressed to the editorial offices, dated Monday, 25 July 2005, the Foreign Ministry accuses the Holy Father of deliberately and immorally excluding Israel from the list of countries affected by terrorism, mentioned in the Angelus address of Sunday, 24 July, in order to legitimize terrorist attacks against Jews. The hastily written instructions in Hebrew are crude also in their formulation, they are replete with spelling mistakes and composition errors, say experts in the Hebrew language. Such a gratuitous, violent, vulgar,  personal attack on the reigning Pontiff, say expert observers, is without precedent in the 57 year history of the State of Israel.

CHINA-VATICAN
What is the true good of the Church in China
by Card. Joseph Zen Ze-kiunOn the eve of an important meeting in Rome on "Jesus our contemporary," Card. Zen asks all Catholics to help the Church in China (and especially its legitimate bishops) to emerge from ambiguity, to follow Benedict XVI and "rid" themselves of those organisms that are enemies of the faith (see PA, Bureau of Religious Affairs, etc. .), and that control and stifle the faithful. The Chinese Church is on the verge of a schism caused by "bargaining" between the Catholic faith and political power. The subtitle of this article (wanted by the author) is: "In dialogue with the Community of Saint Egidio and Gianni Valente of 30Days".

Msgr. Savio Hon: Freedom for arrested bishops and priests, is also good for China
by Bernardo CervelleraEven if the government does not give answers or to the Holy See, or diplomats, or to friends of the Vatican and China, it is important that "no one forgets about them." The Chinese government's official response when asked is always: "We do not know." "We need to pray first," "but we must also appeal to those who are holding them."
