Vatican City, Mar 10, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The magazine “Familia Cristiana” is reporting that a second visit by Pope John Paul II to a Roman synagogue is currently under discussion.
Although sources within the Jewish community told reporters the visit has not been confirmed, “Familia Cristiana” said it could take place May 23, the synagogue’s 100th anniversary, but “discussions are currently taking place.” The chief rabbi of Rome, Ricardo Di Segni, said the Jewish community invited “the Pope more than a month ago, but up to now there has been no certainty regarding the visit. An answer is expected by the end of March.”
