will make comments about
what they expected from the
confession," says Father
Lawrence Frizzell, director of
the Institute for Judaeo-
Christian Studies at New

response to the confession is

Crusades or the Inquisition.

supported Hitler. The Evan-
gelical Lutheran church did.
The Catholic church didn't."
It's true, he says, that
Catholics and their church
failed, like many others, to do
all they might have to save
Jews. That's been acknowl-
edged over and over. "My
