Pope Calls
For Prayer

Rome (JTA) — Pope John
Paul II has called on repre-
sentatives of all religions in
Europe — Christian, Jewish,
Moslem and others — to join
together for a day of fasting
and prayer for peace, par-
ticularly for an end to the
war in Bosnia.
The announcement was
made during the Pope's
meeting at the Vatican with
the presidents of the Roman
Catholic Church's 26 Euro-
pean Bishops Conferences.
The pope specifically and
"with joy" invited Jewish
and Moslem leaders to at-
tend the gathering, which is
scheduled for Jan. 9-10 in
Assisi, Italy. He also issued
a "cordial and warm" in-
vitation to leaders of non-
Catholic Christian churches.
He said he wanted to reaf-
firm the meaning of an
interreligious gathering in
Oct. 1986 in Assisi, at which
religious leaders from all
over the world prayed
together for peace.
Meanwhile, a senior
Italian cleric said that the
racism and anti-Semitism of
z-
today are more dangerous
than the left-wing terrorism
that hit Europe in the 1970s,
and should be combatted as
such.
Monsignor Dionigi Tet-
tamanzi, secretary-general
of the Italian Bishops Con-
ference, made his remarks at
a roundtable on minorities
and racism in Europe.
At the same roundtable,
Rome Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff
said he believed there was a
"puppeteer" pulling the str-
ings behind racist attacks in
Europe.
In an interview with Il
Messaggero newspaper,
Italian Justice Minister
Claudio Martelli gave
cautious agreement to this,
and also said that it ap-
peared that attacks in
various countries were con-
nected.
"We don't have evidence of
direct links, but everything
leaves one to suppose that
they exist in one form or an-
other. I think," he said,
"that there is one direction.
"Otherwise the context of
the phenomenon in so many
different countries, which
have such differing condi-
t ions, with the same
scenarios and same acts of
violence and intimidation,
would be inexplicable."
He said, "I hope that in-
vestigations enable us soon
to identify the center of
centers of this shameful

phenomenon."
