An editorial in Ave Maria, a Roman Catholic weekly published by the Holy Cross Fathers, appealed to the Ecumenical Council fathers today to act in the spirit of love regarding the proposed declaration on relations with the Jewish people.
Noting that both Jews and Protestants have been cool to the latest version of the draft declaration, the periodical stated: “We have come to know both Protestants and Jews better since the Council started. Even on our own little level, this has been good. This has led to love. We want it to continue. We pray that it will continue. We beg the Council Fathers to do everything possible to make it continue, all over the world.”
