Citation 20

Augustine: AOJ; cf. also JUR vol.III:1536

I don't know what AOJ is.



Now JUR vol. III, I take to mean The Faith of the Early Fathers, Vol. 3, by William A. Jurgens

I'm attaching two screenshots of 1536; don't know why it was cited

As long as he remains a Zionist, I think you will have major problems talking sense to him.  You might quote to him some of the words of Pope St. Pius X during his face to face encounter with the founder of modern Zionism, Theodor Herzl.  Perhaps, the strongest words of the great saint were these: "The Jєωs have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jєωιѕн people."  A Zionist not only recognizes the Jєωιѕн people, he asserts their supposed right to push out with necessary force (i.e., exterminate if necessary) Palestinians including Christians living in Palestine.

If Moses Hess was the violent revolutionist that Zionism needed to start it off, Theodore Herzl was the capable calculator who brought order to the Zionist frenzy, won for Zionism the support of Western Jєωs, and gave permanent direction to the Jєωιѕн resurgence by advocating the immediate establishment of a self-governing Jєωιѕн state.
With diabolical doggedness, Herzl peddled his plan for a Jєωιѕн homeland on every important doorstep in Europe. The Kaiser listened to him. And so did the King of Italy and the Sultan of Turkey. England offered him a piece of her own property in Uganda. But the Zionists were determined against second-class handouts. They wanted Palestine or nothing for their nation, and Jerusalem for their capital.

Herzl dared approach even the Pope, Saint Pius X, to ask support for a Jєωιѕн settlement in Palestine. To so fantastic a proposal, the Holy Father (says Herzl’s Diaries): “answered in a stern and categorical manner: ‘We are unable to favor this movement. We cannot prevent the Jєωs from going to Jerusalem — but we could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church, I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jєωs have not recognized Our Lord; therefore, we cannot recognize the Jєωιѕн people.’ ”

The Pope did not discount the possibility of some measure of success for Zionism. Himself the virtual prisoner of Italy’s Masonic administrators, Saint Pius X held no illusory view of “Catholic Europe.” The men who were then running Europe’s governments were the offspring of those same Freemasons who had gloried in tearing down the ghetto walls while they sacked the churches. For Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ had set the Jєωs up; and now that the Masons were in unchallenged power, the Jєωs could expect great things. But could they really expect Palestine? Besides being the Holy Land of the Christians, the territory of Palestine was the guarded property of the Turkish Empire, the centuries-old home of an established people. It seemed unlikely to the Pope that great numbers of Jєωs could ever settle there — and unthinkable that circuмstances would ever permit the Jєωs to set up their own government in the place.

The Zionists, on their part, were confident that when desired circuмstances do not present themselves on their own, they can be made to order. In a speech before the Sixth Zionist Congress in 1903, Herzl’s colleague, Max Nordau, said (and we repeat that the year was 1903): “Let me tell you the following words as if I were showing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward: Herzl, the Zionist Congress, the English Uganda proposition, the future World War, the peace conference where, with the help of England, a free and Jєωιѕн Palestine will be created.”

How is he using this quote to advance Zionism?
