I read this article today on UsaToday:
Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests had a rumble today inside Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, in a dispute over how to clean the church after Christmas celebrations.
AFP says the priests came to blows -- and in some cases even attacked each other with broomsticks and iron rods -- after the Greeks allegedly started cleaning a part of the church controlled by the Armenians. The church, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was born, is shared by various branches of Christianity -- each of which controls a slice of the building.
Palestinian police had to be called in to break up the battle, and two of them were among the seven people reportedly hurt.
If we can't trust the Priests not to fight amongst themselves, or even to respect the work of the police officers, who can we trust?
