AmeriCan Catholic Bishops Warn
Against Anti-Semitic Passion Plays

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (JTA)—
T h e National Conference o f
Catholic Bishops Sundap–warned
the writers and producers of
passion plays during the Lenten
season not to permit them tO "be-
come a source of anti-Semitic re-
actions" which are "foreign and
injurious to true Christian piety
and to the intent of the Sacred
Scriptures as well as offensive to
our Jewish brothers."
The warning, probably the
strongest ever issued on the sub-
ject by the Roman Catholic clergy
in America, was signed by :six
members of the executive com-
mittee of the conference's. secre-
tariat which has its headquarters
for Catholic-Jewish relations at
Seton Hall University, a Catholic-

reicher, Rev. Edward H. Flannery, I
Sister K. .Hargrove, Rev. John B.
Sheerin and Rev. Bernard J. Law.
The statement issued by the
Bishop's Conference noted that
passion plays could become anti-
Semitic when carelessly written or
produced and when "simplistic
and erroneous interpretations of
the sacred writing have occasioned
the accusation that the Jewish
people of all time bear unique re-
sponsibility for the death of Jesus."

Eshkol asserted, "because I con- premier to meddle in another
sider it improper for an Israeli ' country's internal affairs."
