When Pope Francis celebrates Mass in the room Monday, the last day of a Mideast tour that begins Saturday in Jordan, he’ll do it against a backdrop of recent protests by observant Jews who are upset at what they fear is a Roman Catholic effort to assert control over the building.
JERUSALEM — The Cenacle, named for the Latin word for dinner, is testament to the layers of religious history in Jerusalem — and the trouble that competing faiths can cause.
According to tradition, it was in the Cenacle that Jesus ate a Passover feast the night before his Crucifixion, instituting the Christian sacrament of Holy Communion. But Christians aren’t the only ones who revere the site.
On the first floor is a Jewish shrine to King David, who’s said to be buried in a crypt below. The Cenacle’s stained-glass windows are filled with Arabic calligraphy, evidence that it once housed a mosque. A decommissioned minaret rises from the top floor to the sky.
When Pope Francis celebrates Mass in the room Monday, the last day of a Mideast tour that begins Saturday in Jordan, he’ll do it against a backdrop of recent protests by observant Jews who are upset at what they fear is a Roman Catholic effort to assert control over the building on Mount Zion.
The norm has been for ritual Christian prayer to be held in the Cenacle only twice a year: Pentecost and Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter.
That tension has been fueled by discussions between Israel and the Vatican over allowing regular Christian prayer hours in what’s also known as the Upper Room, where Jesus is said to have intoned the words enshrined in Christian ritual when he shared bread — “This is my body” — and wine — “This is my blood” — with his disciples on the night before his execution.

DUE DILIGENCE = LYING DERANGED ANTICHRIST MINIONS OF PERDITION.
Every Jewish and Christian holy site in Jerusalem was built to glorify the Holy Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The vast majority of “Jews” presently dwelling in Israel aren’t even Jews — they’re Turkic gentile converts to Judaism.
All things, both on earth and in heaven, belong to the Holy Trinity, the one true and only Lord.
“Interfaith relations can not, will not work. You do NOT mix God with the devil. Period. ”
Which is exactly why all organised religions are bad for humanity. It teaches odious arrogance, anti socialism and barbarianism. We can’t have a society that is stuck in the barbaric dark ages and survive the future. Make your choice, there are only two options, get busy living or go away and die quietly.
Reality check:
1. The Pope is NOT the false prophet. Your desire to equate him as such is fueled by your personal distaste for the One True Church Itself.
2. The Pope can go and pray and sit wherever the heck he wants. He is Christ’s representative on earth.
Quit the “false-prophet” mongering already. It’s a bunch of satanic hype and you’ve got to be smarter than that.

where it is written that Jesus Christ that now is on the right hand of God the Father’s Throne in heaven has need of a personal human representative, especially one that has changed every one of the Truths He brought to earth and gave to His Chosen Saints and those He wrote in His Word.
What have the popes not changed is the questions, I can think of nothing?
The pope most certainly is the False Prophet… he is uniting all religions, has a telescope named lucifer, change the sabbath day, declared himself VICOR of Christ, wants us to confess sins to hiim instead of JESUS… adorns himself with jewels and gold, ETC…study the crusades to learn the truth…JESUS is the only way.
