At the moment there is a documentary on Italian television
which features the Vatican Padre David Maria Jaeger, the
Vatican spokesperson for the Holy Land, who has explained
that the Franciscans at Bethlehem, amongst whom is Alviero
Niccacci, have been denied water and food and electricity.
Jaeger, who was refused access to Bethlehem, but spoke to
people there by phone was extremely disturbed by the state
of his students and colleagues at Bethlehem.
(I post this not for any political purpose, but to give
information about one of the list's members.)
