THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 44 Friday, August 1, 1981 Schmidt Won't Visit Israel BONN (JTA) — Chancel- lor Helmut Schmidt has ruled out responding affir- matively at this time to a six-year-old invitation to visit Israel. Sources close to Schmidt stressed that while he is eager to visit Israel, he will only do so if the political situation in Israel changes. This has been taken to mean that he will not visit the country while Menahem Begin is premier. The Israeli premier, dur- ing his re-election cam- paign, lashed out at Schmidt in response to the Bonn government's plan to sell the highly sophisticated Leopard II tanks and other arms to Saudi Arabia. Conscience, honor and credit are all in our interest; and without the concurr- ence of the former, the latter are but impositions upon ourselves and others. —Steele NEW HOURS NEW HOURS ewe ter SELECTED JEWELRY CON11)1,1-AF, JEN ► ELIO SERN 13720 W. 9 Mile Rd., Oak Park, Mich.

German Fined for Disputing Holocaust Facts BONN (JTA) — A former judge from Hamburg was fined 6,000 Marks ($2,400) by a court in Kiel for claim- ing that there were no gas chambers during Hitler's regime and no Jews were murdered by the Nazis. The man, Wilhelm Stag- lich, the author of a recent pamphlet called "The Au- schwitz Myth," made both claims in a letter to a federal court judge. Meanwhile, the federal department in Bonn which is empowered to take action against h6te literature has not moved against Staglich for his pamphlet. In addi- tion, the department lost a case it initiated against Gerhard Frey, the publisher and editor of the neo-Nazi National Zeitung. This publication is the most widely circulated neo-Nazi newspaper in Germany and one of the most popular weeklies. f The 'A Unique Shopping Experience - A Cut Above the Rest!" 26020 W. 12 MILE RD.'

Papal Wish Makes a Cardinal? Editor, The Jewish News: Rabbi Richard C. Hertz, in his discussion of his visit with Archbishop Jean- Marie Lustiger, ends his ar- ticle with an intriguing question: "Is it possible that there may be someday be a Jewish Pope?" This poses an almost end- less series of problems. To be a Pope, one must be Catholic. If one is Catholic, can one be a Jew? If one is a Jew, how can he be Catholic? In any event, were the good Archbishop to assume the papacy, it would not be a first. Well, it depends how one defines the terms. In the long ago, Anacletus II, scion of the Pierleoni family of Rome, was elected to the papacy by a majority of the cardinal priests and deacons in 1130. The Pier- leonis, whose tower still stands at the edge of the Roman ghetto, converted from Judaism to Catholi- cism. Poor Anacletus II is now listed as an anti- Pope, since Innocent II had the stronger backing of the Guelph-led cardi- nal bishops. Unfortunately, Rabbi Hertz has reduced Ar- chbishop Lustiger's chances of achieving a cardinalcy and, perhaps, the ultimate papacy. Merely by mention- ing the eventuality, follow- ing Vatican folklore, he has diminished the possibility. It is said that any man who enters the conclave of car- dinals papabile (capable of becoming Pope) will emerge from the conclave a cardi- nal. Though there is no record of the reaction of the Roman Jewish community to the election of Anacletus II, I am certain that they might have said: "Abbiamo ricevuto una buona for- tuna!"
