Here’s an enchanting little tale about various Christian sects who are feuding over holy sites in Jerusalem …
About 11 monks were taken to hospital after clerics from the rival sects that jealously share the courtyard on the roof of the Jerusalem shrine threw rocks, metal rods and chairs at each other in the latest chapter of a centuries-old dispute.

Jesus wept.
