ROME – An official of the oldest Jewish advocacy organization in the United States has called upon the ongoing Synod of Bishops on synodality in the Vatican to issue an explicit condemnation of terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel, suggesting it’s a needed gesture of “moral clarity.”
“To this point, the synod gathered in the Vatican has not succeeded in explicitly condemning the inhuman atrocities of Hamas, and this is a missed opportunity for moral clarity,” said Rabbi Noam Marans in an Oct. 13 interview with the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero.
Marans is the Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations for the American Jewish Committee, and is in Rome taking part in a conference at the Jesuit-run Gregorian University on recently released documents from the papacy of Pius XII during the Holocaust and the Second World War.
The Oct. 4-29 Synod of Bishops on synodality brings together 464 Catholic leaders from around the world, including a wide swath of the Church’s senior hierarchy.
