I have pictures of him and Pope John for a photo shoot. I am pretty sure I was the last person to see Monsignor before he left the states. I am not too sure what happened after he left NY for Italy. All I know is that he passed away and might be buried near his brother John.

I believe him to have been one of the spiritual giants of Christianity and although John Paul is given a lot of credit for Nostra Aetate, it was John who really first started attacking the cancer of anti Semitism in the church. He is one of ‘Saints of the Nations of the World.’<BR/><BR/>JeremyRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079707877048417533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-1154194636334647582006-07-29T13:37:00.000-04:002006-07-29T13:37:00.000-04:00Jp2 and John 23rd seem to represent poles of diver...Jp2 and John 23rd seem to represent poles of divergence in the Catholic Church today. I rarely see the two cited in the same places these days. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, for many who loved and continue to love John 23rd, the conservative reaction of the Catholic Church, which holds up John Paul 2 as icon, is in full ascendancy today. One senses at times that they can barely contain their desire to not only deny sainthood to John 23rd (as if they could), but to cast him forth from the ranks of the blessed.<BR/><BR/>One thing that I find cruelly ironic about this is that it was John 23rd who made a big point of reaching out to and strengthening the Catholic Church in communist dominated countries in the early sixties. It was John 23rd who pushed very hard for representatives of eastern dioceses to be able to come to Vatican 2, including future John Paul 2.<BR/><BR/>As a Catholic, I try to remember that this too will pass. The eternal church is not anymore defined by the excesses of conservatism than by the excesses of liberalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
