As the spiritual leader of Catholicism, he speaks on current events or teaches a lesson based on the weekly reading of the New Testa ment. He expounds the mean- ing of the text referring to social, political or Christian theological matters of concern to Catholics and all people of good will. His remarks Aug. 2 and 9 were devoted to the meaning of Pentecost, the feast celebrated 50 days after Easter that follows the Jewish tradition of cele- brating Shavuot, the feast of weeks, seven weeks after Passover. Catholicism, however, has given to the celebration another meaning in the Christian reinterpreta- tion of the Jewish heritage. Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles as foretold by Jesus. Hailed as the beginn- ing of the church and its mis- sion, Pentecost is an impor- tant Catholic celebration, and its significance was expressed in Pope John Paul II's August comments to his audience. The pope's remarks receiv- ed critical analysis from the Anti-Defamation League which conveyed to the Vatican Jewish concerns about its presentation of Judaism. The pope had referred to what he said was the condi- tional nature of God's cove- nant with the children of Israel; the latter's frequent infidelity recorded in the Bi- ble and the promise (notably in the boks of the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel) of a new and eternal covenant. This, said the pope, was the covenant established through Jesus Christ. The evident im- plication of this commentary was • that Jewish infidelity had led to the supercession of the "old covenant" by the new Christian covenant. If this explanation would have been given 30 years ago, Rabbi Klenicki is director of the Anti-Defamation League's interfaith affairs department. Rabbi Rosen is director of interfaith relations in Israel. Both men serve as ADL's liaisons to the Vatican. few eyebrows would have been raised. After all, that was a tradition of Christian teaching. However, much has changed since Vatican II and the promulgation of three documents on the Catholic Church's understanding of Judaism. Those documents were the Nostra Aetate docu- ment of 1965, the Guidelines for the Implementation of the Conciliar Declaration Nostra Aetate and, finally, the 1985 Notes on the Presentation of Jews and Judaism in Catho- These lic Education. documents have changed the old heritage of the "teaching • The evident implication of this commentary was that Jewish infidelity had led to the supercession of the "old covenant" by the new Christian covenant. I II of contempt," a teaching that portrayed Judaism as losing its place in God's design. Vatican II opened a new chapter in the relationship of Catholics and Jews. In the United States, two documents have been prepared by specialists in education and liturgy-concer- ning the presentation of Jews and Judaism in Catholic teaching and liturgy. One is Within Context, a set of "Guidelines for the Catechetical Presentation of Jews and Judaism in the New Testament," written in cooperation with the Secretariat for Catholic- Jewish Relations of the Na- tional Conference of Catholic Bishops; the Education Department of the United Catholic Conference; and ADL. The other is an official docu- ment of the Bishops Commit- tee on the Liturgy of the Na- tional Conference of Catholic Bishops, God's Mercy Endures Forever, a set of "Guidelines on • the PreSentation of Jews and Judaism in Catholic Preaching." It recommends to priests how to present Judaism and alerts them to the dangers of the anti- Semitic overtones of certain explanations: "Reasons for increasing sensitivity to the ways in . • 4 4 4.0 1111-.
