New York (JTA) — Car-
dinal Jozef Glemp of Poland
met here with 11 Jewish
leaders last week and in-
vited them to come to War-
saw in February to inau-
gurate a series of con-
ferences devoted to pro-
moting Catholic-Jewish
understanding there.
Cardinal Glemp, who
heads the Catholic Church
in Poland, said he would
participate in the series of
conferences, indicating that
he plans to get personally
involved in efforts to ease
the longstanding strains
between Catholics and Jews
in Poland.
But the primate would not
agree to repeat in Poland a
statement he made in Wash-
ington last month, after
meeting with many of the
same Jewish leaders, in
which he said that remarks
about Jews he made two
years ago, in a now infamous
homily, were based on
"mistaken information."
When the Jewish leaders,
most of them rabbis, asked
him to repeat that statement
when he returns to his na-
tive country, Cardinal
Glemp responded with si-
lence, leaving some of them
dissatisfied.
"I expected something
more concrete," said Rabbi
Leon Klenicki, director of
interreligious affairs for
the Anti-Defamation League.
"Whatever he says condem-
ning anti-Semitism here
must be said in Poland, in
Polish, otherwise it's just tea
and sympathy."
Rabbi Klenicki refused to
meet with Cardinal Glemp
in Washington on Sept. 20,
because the prelate had not
explicitly repudiated the
statements about Jews he
made in the homily, among
them, that Jews got peas-
ants drunk, control the
international news media
and introduced communism
to Poland.
Rabbi Klenicki said he was
attending the New York
meeting out of respect and
friendship for Cardinal John
O'Connor, who hosted the
gathering at New York
parish offices behind St.
Patrick's Cathedral, and
who has a strong relation-
ship with the Jewish com-
munity.
Another participant who
said that Glemp's
statements did not go far
enough was Rabbi Mark
Winer of the Jewish Com-
munity Center of White
Plains. N.Y.
"He did not address all
that needs to be," said Rabbi
Winer, who represents the
Reform movement's Central
Conference of American
Rabbis on the Synagogue
Council of America.
Not everyone agreed with
that assessment.
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, a
longtime participant in
Catholic- Jewish dialogue,
said that the promises made
by Cardinal Glemp to better
Catholic-Jewish dialogue,
ding in Poland "were
excellent, way beyond what I
expected."
But, he acknowledged, the
real outcome of the meetings
with Cardinal Glemp "will
depend on what follow-up
takes place."
During last week's
meeting, Cardinal O'Connor
urged Cardinal Glemp to use
his influence to persuade the
Vatican to establish full dip-
lomatic relations with
Israel, participants said.
They said that perhaps the
most valuable result of Car-
dinal Glemp's 19-day, 14-
city trip here was that he
had the chance to see strong
Catholic-Jewish relations at
work.
"Now he has come to a new
realization, since he has
seen concretely what a
model of these relationships
should be," said Rabbi Jack
Bemporad of Lawrence,
N.Y., who chairs the Syn-
agogue Council's inter-
religious affairs committee.
Gunther Lawrence, a
spokesman for the Syn-
agogue Council, likened the
educational process Glemp
had been involved in during
his trip to "retraining."
The Synagogue Council is
composed of delegates from
each of the three major U.S.
movements of Jewish re-
ligious affiliation. It is the
American secretariat for
IJCIC, the International
Jewish Committee on Inter-
religious Consultations,
which is formally charged
with acting on behalf of the
Jewish community in rela-
tions with the Vatican.
Those who participated in
last week's meeting,
however, did so as in-
dividuals rather than as
representatives of the Syn-
agogue Council, which, as
part of IJCIC, was not able
to arrive at a consensus
about whether or not to meet
with Cardinal Glemp during
his U.S. tour. Many felt the
cardinal had not sufficiently
apologized for his past
remarks.
