Meeting With Pope Nets
Moves For Understanding
.
Rome — Jewish leaders who
met with Pope John Paul II at
the Pope's summer residence,
Castel Gandolfo, Italy, on
Tuesday saw several small
steps made toward greater
understanding between Jews
and Catholics.
At the meeting, which came
as a result of protest over the
Pope's meeting with accused
Nazi Kurt Waldheim, presi-
dent of Austria, the Vatican
announced that it would
prepare an official Catholic
document on the historical
background of anti-Semitism
and its contemporary
manifestations. As the
Jewish leaders expressed
their concerns over the Pope's
meeting with Waldheim, the
Pope never mentioned the
Austrian president in his
remarks.
On the topic of the absence
of full diplomatic relations
between the Vatican and the
State of Israel, the Jewish
leaders learned that political
issues, rather than
theological, are barring the
Vatican from having full
diplomatic ties with the
Jewish State.
In Los Angeles, the Simon
Wiesenthal Center stepped
up its campaign this week to
persuade the Vatican to
establish full diplomatic rela-
tions with Israel by taking
out full-page advertisements
in major national and inter-
national newspapers.
The ads which appeared in
the International Herald
Tribune, the New York Times
and Los Angeles Times on
Monday and Tuesday note
that 250,000 Americans have
signed a petition calling upon
Pope John Paul II to reverse
Vatican policy and establish
full diplomatic relations with
Israel.
The committee which met
with the Pope, the Interna-
tional Jewish Committee on
Interreligious Consultations,
was comprised of represen-
tatives from the World Jewish
Congress, the Synagogue
Council of America, the
American Jewish Committee,
B'nai B'rith International
and the Israel Jewish Com-
mittee on Interreligious Con-
sultations. The Vatican group
was composed of represen-
tatives of the Holy See's Com-
mission for Religious Rela-
tions with the Jews.
The meeting with the Pope
was described as the first
known instance in the
Vatican's 2,000-year history
that the Pontiff, the spiritual
leader of nearly 900 million
Catholics and the head of a
sovereign state, took part in a
free discussion based on give
and take.
In Miami, there are plans
by Jews angry over his
meeting with Waldheim to
disrupt a meeting between
the Pope and Jewish leaders.
However, officials at the
Vatican meeting recommend-
ed going forward with the
Miami meeting.
A joint communique was
issued at the conclusion of
meetings with the Pope and
Jewish leaders. Highlights of
the communique were the
Catholic document on the
Holocaust as well as the
Israeli recognition issue. The
document stated in part that
the Vatican will seek to
"closely follow trends and con-
cerns within the world Jewish
community and improve con-
tacts and collaboration where
the need arises."
The communique also call-
ed for future meetings bet-
ween the I.J.C.I.C. and the
Vatican Secretariat of State
"where religious and political
issues intertwine."
The Pope will arrive Sept.
10 in Miami, the first stop of
a ten-day U.S. tour.
Infirm Learning
How To Stand
Haifa — At Fliman
Geriatric Hospital in Haifa,
patients who can barely stand
literally are getting all shook
up in treatment. But they
have no complaints, because
this new method of treatment
is designed to leave them
standing straighter and more
firmly than before.
The method developed by
Dr. Shraga Hocherman, a
neurophysiologist at
Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology's faculty of
medicine, and his former stu-
dent, Dr. Ruth Dickstein, in-
volves the use of a moving
platform in retraining the in-
firm to stand. The only prere-
quisite is the patient's abili-
ty to achieve a standing
position.

tional relations for the
