The article linked says differently - they can travel from Gaza, just not to Jerusalem or the West Bank.
(Also, one can get a Master of Arts in John Paul II Studies? )
Have you ever read any of his works?

As for Gaza Christians - it's not that they're not allowed to visit Bethlehem or Jerusalem - it's that they're not allowed to travel from Gaza --- blame Hamas.

Do pilgrimages have an place in todays world?
At one time pilgrimages held special significance, actually visiting, and praying, in a place with historical importance.
But today we have the internet, we can see a place from the comfort of our living room.
One group has been closed off from Bethlehem and Jerusalem, Gaza Christians. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/n...erusalem-24532
Has anyone here ever visited Jerusalem?Tags: None
