Here is the substance of Pope Pius X’s statement to Theodor Herzl during their meeting on January 25, 1904, as recorded in Herzl’s diary and confirmed by multiple historical sources:
> “We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem – but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.” > > Pope Pius X also told Herzl that if Jews settled in Palestine en masse, the Church would ensure there were churches and priests there to baptize them. > > According to Herzl, the Pope further emphasized: “Jerusalem, he said, must not get into the hands of the Jews.”[2][3][5]This exchange reflected the Vatican’s theological and political opposition at the time to the Zionist movement and Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem.
