Mass services held again at David’s Tomb, but not in the accepted “Room of the Last Supper” on the 2nd floor of the Compound, this time at the room with his ‘grave marker’
Rabbanit Yocheved Grossman, a lead activist for King David’s Tomb, reported to Arutz Sheva that numerous priests and monks held Mass services in the room of King David’s grave marker
Unlike the prayers on Sunday, which were held in the “Room of the Last Supper” on the second floor of the Compound, this time prayers were reportedly held in the very room of David’s Tomb, a site that has been under Jewish control The Mass prayers were accompanied by police and Yassam special forces, and took place after all Jews were evicted from the holy site by Israeli police.
It is worth noting that the institution of regular Catholic prayers at the site constitute a severe breach of Jewish prayer rights. Rabbi Avraham Goldstein, dean of the Diaspora Yeshiva located in the Compound, warned Arutz Sheva in May that Jews will be prevented from entering the holy site altogether due to the Mass services, given that Jewish law forbids using a building used for idol-worship – a category which Catholic worship, with its use of effigies, falls under according to Jewish law.

I don't think this means they control it. Just that they were able to schedule a "mass" there. I don't understand what they get out of doing it in someone's tomb, though.

There has been a few masses there since the Pope said His. It defiles David's Tomb for the people of Israel by them bringing in the cross. This is an area that belongs to the Jewish people yet they were kicked out so that a mass could be performed. In the recent past, mass was held one to two times a year in the upper chamber. After the pope's visit mass is being performed more at least weekly. The Catholics already control 60% of this site. So why are they now increasing having masses there and why are they now intruding on the 40% controlled by Israel?

I just have to ask what would Jesus do. Would He really want the mass to be scheduled in the one area that would grieve the Jewish people? Is that anyway to win anyone over? Where is the love?

It is funny, Peaceinthestorm, that you mention what would Jesus do. That phrase was popular for awhile years ago and recently it has been in my thoughts lately. It is good to remember this especially in the times we are living in.
