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. 50%-75% OFF Winter and Holiday Fashions FRI., JAN. 25 THRU SAT., JAN. 26 Open Mon.
