Addressing the Demonic in Sacred Texts

Abstract

Gestures of friendship among Catholics and Jews have become commonplace enough in the last several years as to receive scant attention from the secular press. Such was the fate of two press releases sent out the same day, 15 July 1999, one from the American Jewish Committee in New York, the other from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C. One related the contribution of a hundred thousand dollars by the American Jewish Committee to the Kosovo Relief Fund of Catholic Relief Services.
