Rome (JTA) — A research proj-
ect on the "Religious Cultures in
Rome," conducted by the Munici-
pality, has yielded new facts and
figures about the three major
religious communities here —
Catholic, Jewish and Moslem —
their interrelations and attitudes
toward one-another.
The survey was undertaken be-
cause, in the opinion of the city
fathers, Rome, no longer an exclu-
sively Catholic domain, must
come to terms with and under-
stand the needs of its other reli-
gious and ethinic groups.
The results were made public at
a press conference last week at the
City Hall. Those attending the
conference included Msgr. Pietro
Rossano, rector of the Pontifical
Lateran University, representing
the Catholic Church; Prof. Paolo
Ricca, of the Waldensian Theolog-
ical Faculty, representing Protes-
tants; Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff of
the Jewish community; and Pr-
ince Amini, president of the Mos-
lem community.
The latest statistics showed
that Roman Jews constitute the
city's largest single religious
grog') after Catholics. There are
nearly three million Catholics in
Rome. 15,000 "official" Jews and
at least another . 15,000 "unoffi-
cial" Jews who do not pay the
community tithe. There are only
4,000 Protestants. Moslems
number between 15-20,000 and
hail from 22 different countries.
Many are believed to be illegal
immigrants who speak little Ita-
lian.
The researchers compiled an
"intolerance" index. About 17-18
percent of the Roman population
expressed intolerance of others,
disinterest or refusal to have rela-
tions with other religious or
ethnic groups. The highest per-
centage of rejection was expressed
towards Moslems (39 percent), fol-
lowed by Protestants (31 percent),
Chinese (27 percent) — although
there are hardly any CHinese to
be seen in Rome — and finally
Jews (26 percent).
According to the survey,
Christian-Jewish relations in
Rome are far better than either
community's relations with the
Islamic population. Of the Chris-
tians who responded to the sur-
vey, 72.6 percent described their
relations with Jews as satisfac-
tory whereas only 36.6 percent
felt the same way about Moslems.
Among Jews, 79 percent con-
sidered their relations with other
Romans to be good to excellent.
Only six percent of the Jews said
they felt "rejected" or "considered
different" by their Christian
neighbors. Moslems, on the other
hand, seem to live in near total
isolation. Sixty-three percent
admitted to having no Jewish or
Christian friends._
Of all the groups, Jews showed
the greatest willingness to engage
in interreligious dialogue (50 per-
cent) while only. 24 percent of the
Christian respondents were in-
terested in joining interfaith
groups.
MK Dropping
Citizenship
Jerusalem (ZINS) — Tehiya
Knesset member Rabbi Eliezer
Waldman has announced that he
will give up his U.S. citizenship.
Waldman was born in Petach
Tikvah, but was taken to the
United States as a small child and
attended college in New York for
two years before returning to Is-
rael.
Defense Minister Moshe Arens,
who was brought to the U.S. from
Latvia as a child and completed
his university education in the
U.S. before coming to Israel, gave
up his U.S. citizenship while still
an MK before his appointment as
ambassador to the U.S.
Kach MK Meir Kahane 'stands
to lose his U.S. citizenship. Unlike
Arens and Waldman, however,
Kahane would probably have dif-
ficulty visiting the U.S. without
an American passport because of
his involvement with the Jewish
Defense League.
