"Let God do his work," says the nun
of heavenly help to dispel the hate.
How do Sister Rose's brothers and sis-
ters under the collar react to her unflag-
ging dedication to debunking the notion
of Jewish deicide? She has received
incredible support.
And, "my own family is very much .
behind me, too," she says. That family
extends to the classroom, where she has
been a saving grace as a teacher for
decades.
"I urge them to think about what they
have to do in order to be a better
Christian,"' she says of her students at
New Jersey's Seton Hall University,
where the nun has been teaching in the
department of Jewish-Christian studies
since it was established in 1968 by
Monsignor John M. Oesperreicher,
"who was driven out of Germany by the
Nazis."
Sister Rose has been bumped and jos-
tled along the way, too. Visiting Vienna
to protest the 1986 inauguration of
Austrian President Kurt Waldheim,
whose Nazi links had been revealed at
the time, she was handled none too
nicely by the crowd, with a yellow Star
of David sewn onto her coat ripped off
during a mini-melee.
She's still got the fight in her; if she is
driven with a mission, it is one that is
bi-clerical: "We are the only department
in the country that gives a graduate
degree in Judeo-Christian relations,"
claims Sister Rose of the program now
headed by Orthodox Rabbi Asher
Finkel.
A study in earnestness, the Dominican
nun's study of Jews' non-culpability in
the killing of Christ had wound its way
to Vatican II with interfaith assistance.
"A copy of my study was taken to the
council by Rabbi Marc Tannenbuam,"
she says of the late national director of
interreligious affairs of the American
Jewish Committee.
But that was so long ago. Will the
new Pope Benedict XVI provide contin-
uing benedictions over Jewish-Christian
relations? By choosing the name of
Benedict, she says, it shows his intent.
And that "means he'll be peaceful."
Indeed, Sister Rose is optimistic about
future interfaith works. In a very real
way, she is living proof of what it means
to be a little bit of heaven on earth.
"I live in a home for Jewish seniors,"
says the nun.
'And that's a statement." ❑
