The Jewish Welfare Federation, the representative organization of the Greater Atlanta Jewish community, extended to “our Catholic brethren,” the sympathy of the community on the untimely death of Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan, Archbishop of Atlanta.
The Federation’s tribute to the prelate was published in the Georgia Bulletin, organ of the archdiocese, in which Archbishop Hallinan made many statements of importance to the Jewish people in the past. The prelate, who had taken an active part in the Vatican Council in support of a declaration on Catholic-Jewish relations, issued a strong statement in support of Israel last year when the Arab states were threatening to attack the Jewish State.
