That's what we're here today to find out!
The tussle between Franciscans and Greek and Russian Orthodox clerics erupted during a procession through the church on Holy Cross Day marking the fourth century discovery of the cross which some faithful believe was used in the Crucifixion. A Greek Orthodox cleric said Franciscans had left open the door to their chapel in what was taken as a show of disrespect.
Yeah for the friars to diss the Orthodox with their open doors, man! Yeah, that's right, I left your door open. You wanna fight? I'll fight ya right now! What ya got? Ya got nothin'!!!!
Once the violent people knocked one another out and were carted away, calmer voices stated what should have been obvious,
"We are all Christians, and there is nothing to fight about," said David Khoury, a maintenance worker for the Franciscans, as he mopped the floor of a nearby chapel."
Proving once again that laborers very often are holier than clergypeople. This isn't the first violence to shake the holy site, however.
Two years ago, 11 monks were hospitalised after stone-throwing erupted between Ethiopian and Egyptian Coptic monks over rights to the roof of the church.
And I'll lay any odds you like that poor David yet again had to clean up after other people's violence.
