>One of the developments yesterday was a press conference sponsored by the United States Bishops Panel of Msgr. John Oesterreicher, an American priest who is consultant to the Secretariat for Christian Unity, which prepared the statement on Jewish-Catholic relations. The statement also warns Catholics against any anti-Jewish prejudice stemming from the crucifixion.

 

>Msgr. Oesterreicher said that the proper place for Chapter Four, the statement on the Jews, was in the schema on ecumenism because of theological reasons. He said “man’s salvation” and the history of the Jewish people were world history and also were the roots of the Church which was in fact, “a church of the Jews given to the Gentiles.”

 

>While saying that the goal was “final reconciliation” of Christianity with the synagogue, he stressed that the schema on ecumenism excluded efforts at conversion of Jews. He added that “one fruit of the planned decree should be a lessening of tensions between Catholics and Jews and removal of age-old misunderstandings” through the projected disavowal of the interpretation of the Gospels which sows contempt for Jews.

 

>He reaffirmed that the decree contained a condemnation of anti-Semitism in that it “not only rejects outbursts of hatred and persecutions to which Jews have been subjected but it also says that the Church deplores them with a mother’s heart. This is stronger than mere censure,” he added, “because it implies that the Church itself is affected by abuse and oppression of the Jews.”

 

>Msgr. Oesterreicher said that the decree, together with the “masterful address” of Augustin Cardinal Bea before the Council on November 18 had “exploded the primitive notion” of collective guilt of the Jews in the crucifixion. Cardinal Bea, president of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, strongly criticized Bishops who opposed adoption of the chapter on the Jews.

>A new Catholic periodical, “Ful-{SPAN}#ment{/SPAN},” in its first issue discusses possibility of an “understanding” between Christians and Jews and definitely declares that such understanding must revolve around missionary activity to convert Jews to Christianity. The publication features two articles by Johannes Oesterreicher, a converted Jew, who goes to considerable pains to point out that salvation for Jews will be found only when they submit to baptism.
