E cumenical Schema on Jews Transvaal Synod Denies Anti-Semitism; Ask Jews to Denounce Communism
May Be Up for Action Today
ROME (JTA)—The Tong-awaited, final revision of the
Ecumenical Council's proposed statement on the relations
between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people, now titled
"Declaration on Relations of Catholics to Non-Christian Re-
ligions, - was distributed to the 2,500 prelates attending the
Council Wednesday, and was expected to come up for prelim-
inary voting Thursday, well-informed Vatican sources said.
It was considered still doubtful, however. whether the
declaration can reach a final vote before the Council ends
its current, third. session, on Saturday. After the preliminary
voting, when changes and possible reservations may be pro-
posed on the floor. the draft will have to go back to -the coor-
dinating commission and printed once again before the final
balloting .
If, as some prelates think. the preliminary vote does not
take place until today. then certainly there will be no oppor-
tunity for a final vote by Saturday. and the declaration will
have to be held over for the Council's fourth session. to be
convened in 1966.
The drafted document reaffirms that Christianity's roots '
are in the words of the patriarchs and prophets of the Old
Testament and that Jesus. Mary and the Apostles were all of
Abraham's stock. The document also stresses the brotherhood
of men and exhorts all Christians to reject anti-Semitism.
