Glemp Remarks
`Uninformed'
Washington (JTA) — Car-
dinal Jozef Glemp of Poland
emerged from a meeting
with a dozen Jewish leaders
here last week saying that
"through dialogue" he now
understands that statements
he made in a homily two
years ago "may have caused
pain to the Jewish commun-
ity and were seen as foster-
ing stereotypes of Jews and
Judaism "
In the Aug. 26, 1989, homi-
ly, Cardinal Glemp, who
heads the Roman Catholic
Church in Poland, accused
Jews of getting peasants
drunk, exerting control over
the international news
media and introducing
communism to Poland.
In a statement, the car-
dinal said those remarks
"were, in many aspects, bas-
ed on mistaken informa-
tion." He explained that
they had been made during
the "difficult and highly
emotional events of the
summer of 1989," which
centered on the dispute over
the Carmelite convent at the
Auschwitz death camp.
Most of the Jewish par-
ticipants in the two-hour
meeting with Cardinal
Glemp said they accepted his
explanation as an apology,
although the cardinal did
not use the word "apologize"
in his prepared statement or
during the news conference
that followed the meeting.
"The statement indicates
he was in error. That in-
dicates an apology," said
Rabbi Mordechai Waxman
of Great Neck, N.Y., a con-
gregational rabbi and repre-
sentative of the Conser-
vative movement on the
Synagogue Council of
America.
In a statement of their
own, the Jewish participants
described the meeting,
which took place at the
headquarters of the Nation-
al Conference of Catholic
Bishops here, as "forthright,
open and, we believe, a con-
structive conversation."
But they did not say
whether they believed the
cardinal had adequately
apologized for past remarks.
And Jerome Chanes, co- di-
rector for domestic concerns
of the National Jewish
Community Relations Ad-
visory Council, said that "in
terms of substance, there
were some serious questions
that are as yet unresolved."
Nevertheless, many of the
participants felt Cardinal
Glemp's position was
significantly forthcoming.
