MOSAIC
By LEON PAUL,
A SPECIAL report to the N. Y, Times by Robert C. Doty,
their Rome correspondent, informed us on April 20 that Bish
op Luigi Carli of Segni, one of the most conservative Italian
bishops around, asserted that Judaism as a religion carries,
by its very nature, the judgment of condemnation by God.
In a 44-page article in a magazine for the Italian clergy,
Bishop Carli wrote: “Judaism, that is the religious institution,
although radically changed (after the destruc
tion of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.) from that of
the Old Testament by the disappearance of
the Temple and the priesthood, continued,
in fact, to survive, but illegally with respect
to God.
“It carries,*’ the bishop continues, “in
fact, always with it, one would say by its
very nature, the judgment of condemnation
by God because, refusing Christ, who should
adhere but did not and does not want to, it puts itself against
the will of God.”
THE ARTICLE by Bishop Carli wasananswerto Cardinal Bea
who had written a rebuttal to an earlier article by Bishop Carli in
which he asserted the collective responsibility of Judaism,
“I consider it legitimate, ” Bishop Carli wrote at that time,
“to affirm that the entire Jewish people at the time of Christ
was responsible collectively for deicide, although only the
leaders and a portion of their followers materially committed
the crime.’
Referring to the Jews of today, the bishop of Segni said "In
this sense, and according to the Biblical mentality, Judaism
after the time of Jesus is objectively .participating in the re
sponsibility for deicide by the measure in which this Judaism
constitutes the free and voluntary continuation of the Judaism
of those times,” For these “same reasons," he said, Jews
can be called ’’reprimanded*’ and “cursed by God."
THE COUNCIL, of course, in the Declaration on the Jews,
has forbidden anyone to preach or teach these things, “...what
happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews,
without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today.
Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should
not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this
followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should See to it, then,
that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of
God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the
truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ.
“Furthermore," the Declaration emphasizes, “in her rejec
tion of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful
of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by
political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries
hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against
Jews at any time and by anyone."
JEWISH REACTION to Bishop Carli’s article is beginning to
make itself felt. Morris B. Abram, head of the American Jew
ish Committee said the bishop’s statement was “insidious”
and a reflection of “the type of primitive mentality that was.
defeated so overwhelmingly at Vatican Council II.” When the
Declaration was promulgated by Pope Paul on October 28, the
final vote was 2221 for, and 88 against. Presumably, Bishop
Oarli was one of the 88 "
Opposition to the Declaration on the Jews was severe, from
many sources, Arab, Conservative, Ultra-conservatiVe, But one
would think that now, since the Declaration has become official
Catholic teaching, statements such as Bishop Carli’s would not
be uttered publicly.
I am trying to figure out what Bishop Carli is trying to prove,
what is he trying to accomplish with his condemnation of Ju
daism, which he termed a “condemnation by God." The on;;
who speaks for God, as far as Catholics are concerend, is the
Holy Father, and he has spoken to us when he promulgated the
Declaration on the Jews. Bishop Carli is not an Official
spokesman for the Church—at least in this particular case,
HE SEEMS TO be the voice of John Chrysostom hurling his
condemnations of Judaism and the Jews across the centuries,
carrying the Church back into ages that were dark and un-
Christian.
The Council has taken us many steps forward, toward better
understanding, greater fraternal love, toward improved rela
tions between all the People of God and the Children of God.
Now here comes Bishop Carli and takes us a step back, per
haps many steps back. But we must clearly tell our Jewish
friends that the Church has already spoken in the clearest
possible terms—through Vatican Council II, through the Dec
laration on the Jews—and through Pope John and Pope Paul.
Bishop Carli clearly does not speak for us..

To The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to supply, for
your readers, a few additional
points of information concern
ing the “Quiet Man at Tech,’*
Mr. John Gill.
The editorial in the Atlanta
Constitution neglected to men
tion the following items con
cerning this outstanding young
man:
John is an active Catholic,
residing with his parents in St.
' Paul of the Cross Parish in
Atlanta. :
During his three years at
Tech, he has participated in the
activities sponsored by the
Archdiocese through the New-:
man Apostolate at Tech. These
activities have embraced the
three basic areas of Newman
work: Social, Educational and
Religious. .
It might be interesting to
note also, that his mother was,'
for one year, an officer of the
Parents Association of the
Georgia Tech Newman Aposto
late.
This modest young man de
serves to be recognized in die
secular and religious press,
as well as by the civic and
academic communities, for his
outstanding dedication to the
perfection of his God-given
talents.
John, congratualtiOns to you
and your family, and be as
sured of continued remem
brance in the prayers of all.
ALVIN F. MATHEWS, O.F.M.

TO THE EDITOR:
I have just , returned home
from the Workshop on the Do
cuments of Afotican II which
is being held at Ignatius House.
What an experience! My mind
is still reeling'from the impact;
of such intense stimulation of
thought. New ideas and attitudes
haye come so fast and so thick
that it will take weeks If not
years to realize their true' sig
nificance.
However, one idea seems to
predominate and I would like to
pass it on as something of a
guide to those of us who have
felt that the Church is throw
ing us into helpless confusion.
We hear so much about Church
renewal, Liturgical changes,
perhaps even renovation of the
structure of the Church. These
things will indeed be the out
come of the tremendous revo
lution into which Vatican II has
thrown us. But the heart of the
Situation seems to be not the
idea of doing this or that, but
of BECOMING new people. The
Council is Saying to us - the
laymen especially - "Become
the Christians that you are sup
posed to be, and you will be
rewarded With the changes that
are needed Ip the Church.’*...
If the Council had merely
wanted to make changes in die
Church, it would have done so
without throwing' the job into
our laps. So perhaps the re
forms are not the prim ary goal,
but a natural result and reward
of the interest and enthusiastic
vitality that it will take for
us to reach them. It is the
caring, the work, the aware
ness on the pari: of every mem-
ber of the Christian commu
nity that is both the end and
the means of bringing the spi
rit of Vatican II into reality.
So my advice to those who
are confused by the spirit of
renewal in the Church today
is to throw yourselves more
fully into the confusion. When
you get up to your neck in it,
you may Suddenly discover that
you knoW how to swim after all.
There will be only two more
of the workshops (at Ignatius
House) - the weekends of May
6 and May 13. So please don’t
miss them. I can safely gua
rantee that it Will be the most
mentally exciting experience
you have had in a long, long
time,
