#1 They've been going at it hammer and tongs for a long time. It's one of the reasons Israel maintains a governing structure for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that was originally implemented by the Ottomans. The Christian churches have been unable to govern the place peacefully.

#4 The intricate property rights and religious responsibilities for Christian sites in the Holy Land are astounding. There are branches of both Orthodox and Uniate Catholicism that exist primarily because they have rights to a few square meters of a holy site. 2-3,000 practioners worldwide, but they have the right to the left side of the fourth nave in the Church.

And they're always willing to fight about it. Makes the Taiwanewse Parliment look like a kindergarten.
