Catholicism Revives Theological Opposition To Zionism

Yisrael Medad argues on February 17, 2026 that historical Catholic theological rejection of Zionism, exemplified by Pope Pius X’s 1904 refusal to recognize Theodor Herzl’s request, echoes in contemporary US politics. He links recent comments by Carrie Prejean Boller and amplified reactions from public figures to a renewed transnational alliance mixing religious anti‑Zionism and antisemitic rhetoric, with implications for political and interfaith tensions.
