		On August 22, 2005, the Holy Synod of the Church of Jerusalem unanimously elected Theofilos III, the former Archbishop of Tabor, as the 141st Patriarch of Jerusalem.

	Catholic Answers Forums - Orthodox clergy assault Catholics at Jerusalem shrine
		Jerusalem (AsiaNews) - This morning (Monday), at about eleven o'clock in the morning, dozens of Greek Orthodox monks, led by their Patriarch Ireneos (which means “peaceful”), rampaged through parts of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre Basilica in Jerusalem, assaulting police and attacking the Franciscan Friars.
		The Franciscan Friars represent the Catholic Church at this holiest Shrine of Christendom, commemorating the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ.
		I'd agree the Orthodox Patriarchate is in the wrong on a couple of counts; in its treatment of the Ethiopians when they lost documents in a fire which showed their historical use of some of the spaces and they were thrown out, and, in its continuing prohibition against native Palestinian Orthodox becoming bishops.

	Dhimmi Watch: Athens opposes 'Arabisation' of Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem
		What was a survival tactic for Churches (Catholic and Eastern rites) has become over time epitomized by the stockholm syndrome, where the dhimmi identifies with the oppressor, much like Michel Aflaq (once a Christian Arab) did when he joined with a Muslim Arab to create the Ba'ath (Renaissance) Party (Aflaq subsequently converted to Islam).
		The total population of Jerusalem in 1850 was 15,000.
		The Eastern Orthodox Church in Arabic-speaking lands has a long and deep root in the indigenous population; while in 'Eretz Yisroel,it was ethnically Greek only in its hierarchy and a portion of its laity.
