NOTES FROM THE HOME FRONT : Mahony Offers Prayers for Jewish Community
Saying that Iraq’s missile attacks on Israeli civilians “raises up within all of us horror and revulsion,” Archbishop Roger M. Mahony has assured the large Jewish community in Los Angeles that his 3.4-million-member Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles “stands with you” and is offering prayers that the “deranged assaults” will end.
In letters to regional executives of Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jewish organizations, Mahony also commended Israel for its restraint “in the face of such unprovoked, naked aggression.”
