- Share via
Roman Catholic Cardinal Jozef Glemp of Poland met with a dozen American Jewish leaders and expressed regret over a 1989 sermon that many Jews regard as anti-Semitic. “I regret sincerely that this unfortunate situation occurred and recommit myself . . . to combatting anti-Semitism at its very roots,” Glemp told the Jewish leaders in Washington. Glemp aroused an international furor in August, 1989, when he criticized Jewish demonstrators from New York who protested the presence of a Carmelite convent at the site of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.
