"There is a clear sense ap- parent that there is a more positive attitude that has emerged between the Holy See and Israel," said Rabbi Arthur Schneier, president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, a group that works to advance the cause of religious freedom. Direct talks on estab- lishing diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Israel can be expected "sooner rather than later," Rabbi Schneier said, though he declined to estimate more specifically when they might take place. When Rabbi Schneier met with Pope John Paul II on Jan. 8, the pontiff did not in- dicate there were any re- maining stumbling blocks to the establishment of formal diplomatic relations, the rabbi said, though the topic was just one of several covered. The issue was discussed in greater detail during a longer meeting Rabbi Schneier had the day before with Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, secretary for rela- tions with states of the Vat- ican's Secretariat of State. The Vatican has long granted de facto recognition to Israel, while maintaining that full diplomatic relations cannot be established until several concerns are ad- dressed. These include the right of Palestinians to their own national home, the posi- tion of the Catholic Church in Israel and the status of Jerusalem.
