BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Head of the
DAIA Jewish community organization Julio Schlosser condemned yesterday’s
incidents at the Metropolitan Cathedral when members of an ultra-conservative
Catholic organization disrupted a religious ceremony to remember the Jewish
victims of the “Cristal Night.”
“We are distraught,” Schlosser said and considered today’s “must be a day of
mourning” for Pope Francis.
“It was shameful and painful that this people attacked and desecrated a holy
site as the Cathedral ignoring Pope Francis’ teaching.
I am certain that it
must be a day of mourning for the Pope,” the DAIA leader told reporters.
“The Jewish community must remain calm and know that the DAIA is permanently
working for the dignity and respect of human rights,” Schlosser added.
Members of the Catholic Lefebvre group interrupted an inter-religious
gathering at the Buenos Aires City Cathedral organized to mark the “Night of
the Broken Glass” in honour of the victims of the Nazism.
