You may know about Theodor Herzl . He was one of the Early fathers of the idea of jEWS returning back to Israel.
On January 26, 1904, Theodor Herzl The had an audience with Pope Pius X in the Vatican to seek Catholic support to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. A SECURE place for world jEWS to RETURN HOME and live.
The Pope Demanded and Commanded that Theodor Herzl was to Bow down and Kiss his hand. Theodor Herzl REFUSED to Kiss the popes hand .
Theodor Herzl asked for the Pope to support jEWS living in Israel.
The Pope Stated [We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem but we could never sanction it. The Pope also Stated The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people].
The Pope Concluded " Jerusalem must not get into the hands of the Jews "
the Pope concluded saying
IF THEY WILL BE DENYING THE DIVINITY OF JESUS WE CANNOT HELP THEM.
THE JEWS, WHO OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS CHRIST, HAVE NOT DONE SO TO THIS DAY."
IF YOU COME TO PALESTINE AND SETTLE YOUR PEOPLE THERE, WE SHALL HAVE CHURCHES AND PRIESTS READY TO BAPTIZE ALL OF YOU."
