Meeting Delayed
Continued from Page 5
The official purpose of the
Vatican meeting is to com-
memorate the church's 1965
"Nostra Aetate" document,
which decried anti-Semitism
and opened a new era in
Catholic-Jewish dialogue.
That dialogue is currently at
a high point following a
summer meeting in Prague
at which Jewish represent-
atives and church officials
produced one of the
strongest statements yet
delineating the church's
responsibility for historic
anti-Semitism.
Jewish participation in the
upcoming meeting is under
the umbrella of IJCIC, the
International Jewish Corn-
mittee on Interreligious
Consulations, which is rec-
ognized by the Vatican as
representing world Jewry in
Catholic-Jewish discussions.
IJCIC, in turn, is comprised
of B'nai B'rith Interna-
tional, the Israel Interfaith
Committee, the World Jew-
ish Congress and the SCA.
Each IJCIC constituent
agency selects an assigned
number of its own delegates
for meetings with Catholic
officials.
Seymour D. Reich, the
B'nai B'rith leader who also
chairs IJCIC, said the SCA
asked IJCIC to arrange the
postponement to give it more
time to resolve the dispute.
Mr. Reich said the SCA ask-
ed for the delay because
"they (SCA) had some inter-
nal matters they needed to
reconcile before they could
proceed."
One non-Orthodox SCA
source maintained that the
delay was actually first re-
quested by the World Jewish
Congress; however, Mr.
Reich said that was not the
case. The source said the
WJC wanted the postpone-
ment because of its own
organizational paralysis
stemming from similar Or-
thodox-versus-non-Orthodox
conflicts.
Mr. Reich also said that
the meeting with the pope is
not in any danger of being
cancelled because of the SCA
flap. Nor, he added, does the
SCA's "internal hassle"
reflect on Catholic-Jewish
relations, which were tem-
porarily strained in 1987
when Orthodox organiza-
tions officially refused to
meet with the pope in Miami
because of his earlier
meeting with Austrian Pres-
ident Kurt Waldheim, whose
Nazi past was then a major
international issue.
Just how serious a threat
the current impasse is to the
continued existence of the
SCA is difficult to gauge. Or-
thodox sources say the SCA
could be nearing a breaking
point. However, Conser-
vative and Reform leaders
insist the SCA will survive
intact, just as it weathered
Miami and the many other
internal storms that have
flared up since its founding
more than six decades ago.
The SCA's original intent
was to foster cooperation
between the leading agen-
cies representing the main-
stream of American Jewry's
religious establishment.
Since its beginning,
however, a diversity of views
has hampered the group's
effectiveness and has largely
restricted it to representing
mainstream Judaism in
interfaith dialogues and
before governmental bodies.
According to various
sources, the current veto
dispute was triggered by Mr.
Kwestel and SCA Vice Pres-
Non-Orthodox SCA
officials privately
hope the next
Orthodox Union
president will agree
to defuse the
controversy.
ident Herbert Berman, an
OU representative to the
SCA, when they objected to
the inclusion of Conser-
vative Rabbi Morechai
Waxman in the delegation
scheduled to go to Rome.
Rabbi Waxman, who is
from Great Neck, L.I., is a
former SCA president and
IJCIC chairman with a long
record of participation in
Catholic-Jewish dialogue. In
1987, he served as the SCA
spokesman during the
Miami meeting with the
pope. Mr. Reich called him
"one of the most
distinguished theologians in
the field of Catholic-Jewish
relations."
Rabbi Waxman became
the spokesman in Miami
after the Orthodox SCA
member agencies officially
withdrew from the meeting
in protest over the
Waldheim controversy.
According to the sources,
who all requested anonym-
ity in exchange for providing
information, Mr. Kwestel's
and Mr. Berman's objection
to Rabbi Waxman stemmed
from his deviation from the
text that had been approved
for the Miami meeting. By
straying from the text, he
apparently softened a
statement critical of the
