Picture of the Day: Rivkah Would Not Bow
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin paid a visit to Pope Francis in Rome, accompanied by his personal secretary Rivkah – an Orthodox-Jewish woman. When a person usually greets the pope, they shake his hand and bow down. But when Rivkah’s turn came to greet the pope, she explained to him that for religious reasons she could not shake his hand, nor could she bow down since he was wearing a cross. The pope then covered his cross with his hand, and bowed down to her!
This is taking Christian humility too far! Picture and text come from this gloating Chabad Lubavitch website.
According to Paul Westman, who learned of this story from Michael Hoffman's website and who researched the event to check out it's accuracy (it's accurate), Rivka Ravitz, 39, is the chief of staff to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin (the man standing in the photo nearby). She is an Orthodox Israeli Jew with 11 children that are presumably her own by birth--i.e., none adopted. She married early, at 18, and began having kids. You can learn more about her in an interesting 3.5-min. news story-style video posted on an Orthodox Jewish website. https://www.ou.org/life/inspiration/mother-of-11-ph-d-candidate-and-israeli-presidents-chief-of-staff-meet-rivka-ravitz/

Jesuits

Well, this is the final nail in the coffin that it's not the Jesuits or the Pope running the world, but Jews.
So goodbye to all disinfo agents that claim "it's the Jesuits".
Very good point!

Yes indeed. Unfortunately it's not the Jesuits.
What more humiliation will
Franklin Ryckaert
What more humiliation will the Pope show next time to such an arrogant Jewess? Washing her feet?

Carolyn,
Your comments are so sickening and distasteful. She has her right to express her religious beliefs and practice her religion the way she wants. Maybe you don't want to bow in front of a Jewish symbol. Similarly, she does not want to bow in front of a Christian on. It's her basic right. You are an intolerant judgmental racist.
The problem is not her. The
Markus
The problem is not her. The pope is the problem. He invites Jews to his Vatican in the first place and then hides his cross and bows before a Christ-Killer that wishes Jesus to boil in feces in hell?
Her religion is her right, yes. But him tolerating it and bowing to the Anti-Christian is the story here, in case you haven't noticed.
Shoshana,The gripe isn't that

Shoshana,
The gripe isn't that the jewess wouldn't bow to the pope, but that the pope bothered to admit her into his presence, much less bow to her. He has tainted the papacy with his dishonor and his lack of pious reverence for the crucifixion, upon which the christian faith is founded.
Christianity is for Jews ONLY
Lorenz Kraus
The real problem is that the Pope is a Christian, instead of a brute-force Christianizer of the Jews. Jesus didn't want Gentiles to be Christians. Could that be so?

1. Jesus said he came only for the Jews.
2. Before his Sermon on the Mount, he only rounded up Jews for his Sermon by visiting synagogues.
3. Jews were "astounrded" that Peter was baptizing Gentiles, after the crucifixion, meaning Jesus didn't deal with Gentiles. He turned his back on Pilate when he was asking questions.
Jews teach, "love Jews, hate Gentiles."
Jesus taught, "love your enemy, hate your tribe."
His message could only fit Jews. Jesus wanted Jews to drink the poison, not Gentiles.
For all their Bible study, Christians don't listen to Jesus.
"Love your enemy, hate your tribe" is suicide.
This is what Cultural Marxism is and what is destroying the West. Jesus wanted Jews and only Jews to love their percieved enemies, and to hate their tribe.
The cross symbols man at the mercy of Jews. Never be at the mercy of Jews. That's the real (secular) lesson of Christianity.
kosher?

The Pope bowed down so she could better see the 729 bar code stamp on his little white cap.
