New York (JTA) — Facul-
ty and student at Roman
Catholic educational institu-
tions have developed "a deep
appreciation of Jews and
Judaism" in the 20 years
since the Second Vatican
Council's Nostra Aetate
declaration, according to a
study published here
recently.
Entitled "Jews, Judaism
and Catholic Education," it is
based on a survey of several
hundred Catholic educational
institutions in the United
States conducted by Sister
Rose Thering of the Depart-
ment of Education at Setton
Hall University in South
Orange, New Jersey. It was
published by the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith, the American Jewish
Committee, and Seton Hall.
Sister Thering also found
broad awareness of the
"teaching of contempt" that
was partially responsible for
the Holocaust. She attri-
buted this awareness to the
fact that Catholic educational
institutions are teaching
about Jews and Judaism in a
positive way reflecting
recognition that Christianity
is rooted in Judaism.
The survey further dis-
closed that Holocaust studies
have become required in most
high schools, some elemen-
tary schools and almost all
Catholic colleges and univer-
sities and that many Catholic
institutions observe Yom
Hashoah — Holocaust Re-
membrance Day — with
special services for the
genocide committed against
the Jews during World War
II.
In a preface to the study,
Rabbi Leon Klenicki, director
of ADL's Interfaith Affairs
Department, and Rabbi A.
James Rudin, AJC's Nation-
al Interreligious Affairs
director, called the findings
"both promising and en-
couraging."
They added, however, that
while "Jews and Judaism are
no longer esoteric studies in
Catholic schools, and there is
growing interest in Judaism
on the part of both students
and faculty, much still re-
mains to be done. Crucial
issues remain."
The survey expands on
Thering's 1970 study which
sought to determine how
Catholic institutions had im-
plemented the Vatican Coun-
cil II Statement on the Jews
and Judaism made five years
earlier.
The current study surveys
implementation of not only
the 1965 Statement but also
includes the 1974 Roman
Catholic Guideline and Sug-
gestions for implementation,
of the Vatican II document
and the 1975 National Cath-
olic Conference of Bishops'
statement on Catholic-Jewish
relations.
Among the findings of the
new study, based on answers
by respondents, were:
51 percent of the Catholic
colleges and universities offer
courses in Judaism, either
separate or pat of other com-
parative religion courses;
27 percent offer a special
course on the Holocaust;
6 percent offer a separate
course on the State of Israel;
38 percent offer courses on
the Middle East;
10 percent of the semin-
aries have a special course on
the Holocaust with others
covering it as part of other
courses;
33 percent of the semin-
aries have courses in
Judaism;
25 percent of the semin-
aries offer a course in Jewish
history after the emergence
of Christianity;
53 percent of the Archdio-
cesan/Diocesan ecumenical
commissions said they direct
attention to Catholic-Jewish
concerns;
62 percent of the high
schools have courses on the
Holocaust and its lessons;
30 percent of high schools
have a course on the State of
Israel and its meaning.
Sister Thering said the
survey found significant im-
provement within Roman
Catholic educational institu-
tions but also indicated a
need for improvement in such
areas as presentation of the
Pharisaic movement, an as-
pect of the Judaism of
Jesus's time, which the 1975
Vatican guidelines specifical-
ly cited as requiring correc-
tion in Christian teaching and
preaching.
"Popular preaching and
teaching including Passion
Plays have often used Cath-
olic devotion to Christ
crucified as an occasion for
anti-Jewish statements,"
Thering said, despite "the
Conciliar Statement on the
Jews that this is clearly not
in harmony with either the
truth or the spirit of the
Gospel."
"Jews, Judaism and Cath-
olic Education" is available

ments of both the Anti-
Defamation League, 823
