Jerusalem: Jerusalem is the heart of the world, says Pierbattista Pisabella, the Patriarch of Jerusalem who will be elevated to the position of cardinal next Saturday. He said at a press conference here ahead of his departure for Rome that his appointment would raise the status of Jerusalem before the world and bring joy to the entire Christian community.
He told the international media that he was surprised by his appointment to the post of cardinal, but even more surprising was the enthusiastic response of the entire community in Jerusalem.
In a press conference, Patriarch Pizzaballa praised the statement made by the Vatican’s foreign secretary at the United Nations, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, highlighting the urgent need to resume dialogue between the conflicting parties in Jerusalem and the status and sanctity of the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem. Patriarkis also said in an interview.
