Catholics confront Jewish charges over Auschwitz cross dispute
The piece argues that Catholic anger over the Auschwitz Carmelites and Pope John Paul II is fuelled by perceived Jewish double standards and media bias. It cites Rabbi Weiss, Shamir, and Elie Wiesel while defending Catholic memory of Polish Catholics and questioning Jewish responses. The author challenges calls for de Jewishization of the Holocaust and urges Catholic leaders to stand firm.
