Pope John XXIII’s encyclical on social justice was praised yesterday by the American Jewish Committee as a document which in “spirit and expression” was “profoundly imbued with the ancient Biblical and prophetic zeal for social Justice.”
Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president, also said that there were many teachings “in this courageous and far-visioned encyclical” of interest to members of the Jewish community.
