The election of Pope Leo XIV brings hope to Christians in the Holy Land, who long for a supportive figure in the face of oppression. Echoing the legacy of Pope Francis, they seek action on issues of justice and peace. The Holy See historically aids the Christian community through various institutions and initiatives, tackling ongoing challenges stemming from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including violence, economic decline, and a shrinking pilgrimage economy. The local Christian population, striving to enhance their presence, looks forward to the new pope's potential involvement in addressing these pressing issues.
We hope to see in the new pope a father who will stand by our side and protect us from oppression.
Christian presence in the Holy Land is supported by institutions, including the Pontifical Mission in Jerusalem and Bethlehem University, emphasizing the Church's commitment.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains a major issue for Christians in the Holy Land, contributing to violence and economic deterioration that threatens their livelihoods.
We, Christians in the Holy Land, hope that Pope Leo XIV will not only come to visit us but also help address some of the challenges we face.
