| Message | Unbelievable. The moment the Jews are out of government they wish to remove the governments right to screen foreign missionaries. And furthermore what right does secular authority have to regulate the wages of those who preach the word of the Holy Trinity? |

| Message | "Secular authority! Let us not forget your delegates sit in the Sanhedrin, the ancient Jewish religious body of the First Jewish Homeland. Furthermore there are very few people preaching your Catholic values, this is a Jewish state with a Jewish state religion and presiding over Jewish people." -- Tuvya Menachem |
