Monks brawl at Christian holy site in Jerusalem

[BridgeTheGap]

JERUSALEM - Israeli police rushed into one of Christianity's holiest churches Sunday and arrested two clergyman after an argument between monks erupted into a brawl next to the site of Jesus' tomb.

The clash between Armenian and Greek Orthodox monks broke out in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection.

The brawling began during a procession of Armenian clergymen commemorating the 4th-century discovery of the cross believed to have been used to crucify Jesus.

5. Again?! For the love of all things holy, could His Eminence step on and smack heads?!

It's going to take Patriarch Bartholomew sitting down with the Armenian patriarch and settling this idiotic crap once and for all.

This kind of crap didn't happen nearly as much when they let women be priests. *sigh*
