The opposition of the Vatican to Israel has become more and more vocal and prominent. The reasons are rooted in the threat a revived nation of Israel represents to the Catholic Church, which claims to have replaced the Jews as the People of God. The Vatican's use of social media has been inciting violence against Jews around the world. Its resistance to Trump's peace plan is rooted in its opposition to the existence of Israel. The prophets of the Bible clearly predict the tale of these two cities which will result in Jerusalem being the center of world worship, and the Catholic Church being removed.
