As Easter approaches, Pope to war leaders: ‘God does not listen to your prayers’
While the Pope spoke of peace, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa was barred by Israeli police from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – the holiest site in Christianity – for Palm Sunday Mass. For the first time in centuries, church leaders were prevented from celebrating at the traditional site of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.
