Antonio Cardinal Caggiano, archbishop of Argentina, told a delegation of Argentine Jewish leaders here today that he will support the proposed Ecumenical Council declaration, absolving the Jews of the ancient charge of decide, when the Council reconvenes at the Vatican next month.

Asserting that he favored improvement of relations between the Jewish people and the Catholic Church, Cardinal Caggiano said: “The guilt for Christ’s death cannot be assigned solely to the Jewish people. Therefore it is unfair to call the Jews killers of God. The archbishop left for Rome today to attend the Ecumenical Council.
