It’s been reported in the British press that the Vatican Nativity scene will be set in Nazarath this year and will include a pub scene. This report was in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday telegraph.co.uk/news/main…4/wrome114.xml, the Telegraph being a well respected paper here in England.

However, British journalists are notorious for misquoting and misrepresenting the Catholic Church so it is quite possible that the article may be incorrect. Do you know anything about this matter?

Thanks and God Bless.
 
I’m not sure what the Holy See is thinking here. St. Luke’s gospel is clear, as is the OT prophecy, that the Saviour was born in Bethlehem, the City of David.

This makes no sense to me. I don’t understand the comment that this new arrangement is more “Franciscan” as St. Francis set up a Nativity scene with live animals and a straw filled manger in Grecio.

Please someone, help me understand this.
