00:00Caloocan Bishop Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David on Christmas Eve calls on Filipino Catholics
00:05to empathize with Palestinians.
00:07In his concluding Simbanggabi sermon, the Philippines' newest cardinal says if Jesus
00:11were born today, it would be in war-torn Gaza.
00:15He notes the biblical Israel is very different from the Israel that's been pounding Gaza
00:19with airstrikes and ground assaults since October 2023.
00:22David says it is no longer an Israel that is disadvantaged, defenseless, and oppressed
00:27by the powerful, but an Israel that is aggressive, at an advantage at war, and supported by world
00:32powers.
00:33In the Vatican, Pope Francis urges Catholics to reflect on Christ's birth as a poor carpenter
00:37son to inspire hope that everyone can make an impact on the world.
00:41Francis says,
00:42"...hope calls us to be upset with things that are wrong and to find the courage to
00:46change them."
