USCC News Release: Archbishop May Cites Positive Relations with Jewish Leaders by Robert Wonderly, June 22, 1987
WASHINGTON--The President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, addressing the "serious concerns" raised over this week's meeting between Pope John Paul II and Austrian President Kurt Waldheim, suggested that U.S. Catholic Jewish relations are "strong enough to overcome any specific difficulty of the moment."
Archbishop John L. May of St. Louis added, in a statement, that he expects to accompany the Pope to a Miami meeting with U.S. Jewish leaders on the second day of the Holy Father's September 10-19 pastoral visit to the United States.
He described the year long dialogue between Jewish and Catholic representatives planning the Miami meeting as "a concrete result of the excellent relations we maintain with our Jewish brothers and sisters."
