Ecumenical Declaration
There have been certain doubts among some American Jewish
leaders as to the nature of the declaration on Catholic-Jewish relations
which the Ecumenical Council is expected to adopt at its forthcoming
session this fall . . . The audience given by Pope Paul VI to a delegation
of the American Jewish Committee has greatly contributed to the dis-
pelling of these doubts . . . I understand that the Pontiff was told by
the delegation that Jewish world expects from the Ecumenical Council
the absolution of the Jews from the blame of crucifying Jesus . . .
Morris Abram, who is president of the American Jewish Committee
headed the delegation, emphasized especially that the possible rectfica-
tion of the deicide story has aroused keen expectation in the United
States . . . At present, all cardinals and bishops in the United States
— with the exception of one — are practically committed to support
at the Ecumenical Council a declaration on Catholic-Jewish relations
drafted in the Vatican So are the cardinals and bishops from France,
Belgium, Germany, Latin American countries and even some from
ro
Spain . . . However, there is still strong opposition to such a declaration
on the part of some Italian bishops and, of course, on the part of some
70 Arab bishops.

S pa n ish Jews Form Council, Seek Franco's Recognition
LONDON (JTA) — The forma-
tion of a Council of Jewish Com-
munities of Spain, comprised of
Jewish communal bodies in four
cities, was reported here from Ma-
drid. The Council represents
Spain's 5,000 Jews in Madrid, Bar-
celona, Ceuta and Melilla. The last
two cities are in the Spanish en-
clave of Morocco.
The report said that Max Mazin,
leader of the Madrid Jewish com-
munity would seek an interview
with Generalissimo Francisco
Franco to secure official recogni-
tion from the Spanish government
for the Council and for Spanish
Jewry as a religious group.
The Roman Catholic Church
is the only recognized religious
group in Spain. Jews and some
30,000 Protestants are permitted
to worship in unmarked build-
ings under a statement of tol-
erance approved in 1945.
Jews and Protestants are allowed
to buy property for worship only
as private individuals, not under
corporate names.
Implementation Project
Mazin disclosed his plans in
The encouragement given by the Pope to the American Jewish
Committee leaders goes further than the issuance of a declaration by connection with a Sephardic sym-
