Here's a report on the Vatican statement in L'Osservatore Romano:
thetimes.co.uk

As for the "men claiming sanctuary", if Dreher's source is correct, they just shot their way in and never claimed anything, Arafat's pocket patriarch just said they did.

I'll repeat my original question: can a church give "sanctuary" to a gunman who is using the church as a firing post?

"The burden of the Vatican’s remarks was, however, seen by diplomats as anti-Israeli, with the statement calling on Israel to use proportionate force in acts of legitimate self-defence."

Who can define the "proportionate" reply to being blown up by robot-like kids anytime anywhere?
