BETHLEHEM, West Bank (CRS) – Just over 2,000 years ago, the Holy Family made their way from Nazareth to Bethlehem to prepare for the moment that would change history forever. If they were to take that same route today, however, they would be greeted by a 25-foot barrier wall, armed guards and a huge steel gate resembling those found on nuclear shelters.
They could also be harassed for their identification papers, their belongings could be searched and it’s quite possible they could be turned away, never allowed to enter Bethlehem. How different the story would be.
In other news, you probably saw the video of the Pope being knocked down by some crazed woman. He got up and is fine but as a commenter on Wonkette stated, so much for papal infallibiity…
Merry Christmas to BooMan, his fellow bloggers and the repliers here at BooMan Tribune.

Stop the assault on mankind by acts of men
Wishing all of you and yours the best of the season’s Inspiration and good health in the New Year.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
A great song for any holiday celebrated around the world.
