Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Punch-up at tomb of Jesus: "Priests and worshippers hit one another at the doorway dividing Orthodox and Franciscans,"
This is almost iconic; not to mention ironic. I feel ashamed. After all, as one person is quoted as saying: "We are all Christians, and there is nothing to fight about," [said David Khoury, a Franciscan]. And doesn't it seem even more incongruous that it would be Franciscans involved? I remember learning about Athanasius's "bully-boy monks" in Church history but had hoped that we had realised how unChristlike it was; apparently not.
