Pope Says 'Shalom'
To Two Rabbis

New York (JTA) — Two Jew-
ish interreligious affairs
leaders were among those
who met with the pope last
week during the World
Youth Day event in Denver.
In brief meetings, Pope
John Paul II greeted Rabbis
Jack Bemporad and A.
James Rudin by saying
"shalom" and told them
each how pleased he was
that they had come to the
mass gathering of young
Catholics.
The encounter was
perhaps the dramatic
highlight of the four-day
event for the rabbis, but they
also held more substantive
meetings with leading
Catholic officials involved in
Catholic-Jewish relations.
They also met with about
20 Catholic, Protestant,
Greek Orthodox and Muslim
leaders to discuss how they
can work together to ad-
vance morality and combat
what Bemporad described as
"the hedonism and
relativism rampant" in con-
temporary society.
Rabbi Bemporad is direc-
t or of the Center for
Catholic-Jewish Understan-
ding at Sacred Heart Uni-
versity in Fairfield, Conn.
"Breakthroughs don't
happen" in interreligious
dialogue, said Rabbi Rudin,
who is director of inter-
religious affairs for the
American Jewish Com-
mittee.
"It's incremental, par-
ticularly in Catholic-Jewish
relations because there are
long institutional memories
on both sides.
"It's an enormous amount
of effort, building relation-
ships in the lobby, at meals,
where you push the agen-
da," said Rabbi Rudin.
His agenda at the Aug. 12-
15 event included emphasiz-
ing to the pope and other
Catholic leaders the need to
speed up the creation of dip-
lomatic relations between
the Vatican and Israel.
Each opportunity to meet
with Catholics is "one more
building block," he said.
Rabbi Bemporad found the
entire event useful because
he made "very important"
contacts with Muslims and
the Orthodox church, and
"we made the decision to
continue together in dia-
logue. We are going to con-
centrate on the fundamental
issue we face —this moral
anarchy."

A. James Rudin:
Enormous effort taken.

Rabbi Rudin, while in
Denver, also spoke at Friday
night Sabbath services at
Temple Sinai, where he met
an elderly woman who was
born in Eastern Europe dur-
ing World War I.
"She told me that 'If
200,000 Catholics and the
pope had descended on our
town in those days, we would
have boarded up our doors,
shuttered our windows and
locked our children in the
basement for fear of anti-
Semitic violence,' " said
Rabbi Rudin.
In contrast, several
Denver synagogues and
Jewish families offered their
facilities and homes to the
Catholic youth who poured
in from around the globe.

Shops In Rome
Are Defaced

Rome (JTA) — Four shops in
a Jewish neighborhood of
Rome were defaced last
week with anti-Semitic graf-
fiti believed to have been
scrawled by skinheads.
The incident apparently
took place the night of Aug.
11. The following morning,
big swastikas were found to
have been spray- painted on
the shutters of four clothing
boutiques, at least two of
which are owned by Jews.
The word "Jew" was also
written.
"I didn't receive any
threats, I only found what
was scrawled there," the
proprietor of one of the
shops, Jacqueline Frig, told
reporters.0
