Pontiff: Anti-Semitism
opposes Christian ideals
STRASBOURG, France (AP) —Pope
John Paul II on Sunday condemned anti-
Semitism as being opposed to the prin
ciples of Christianity during a pilgrimage
to northeastern France.
John Paul made his statement to the
Jewish community in this historic city on
the second day of a four-day visit to the
region. His journey to France is his 40th
foreign trip since becoming pope in
1978.
The speech occurred at a time of ten
sion in France over anti-Semitism and
racism. Ultra-conservative Catholics
count heavily among the followers of
right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen,
who campaigns on an anti-immigrant
platform and has been accused of making
anti-Semitic remarks.
Also Sunday, the pope saluted Mos
lems and called on Protestants to be pa
tient with efforts to unify the Roman
Catholic church and other Christian
churches.
John Paul took a cruise on the Rhine
River to talk to shipworkers, said Mass
for the diocese of Strasbourg and helped
celebrate the city’s 2,000th anniversary,
addressing thousands of citizens in
French and in their Alsatian dialect.
The Jewish community of Strasbourg
sent a letter to the Vatican several
months ago protesting continuing in
stances of Catholics blaming the Jewish
people for the killing of Christ and asked
the pope to recognize the state of Israel,

Jean Kahn, president of the Strasbourg
Jewish Community, said.
In a meeting at the residence of Stras
bourg’s archbishop, the pope told the
Jewish representatives the two religions
honored the same God and had a com
mon heritage and values.
“It is, therefore, in deep fidelity to the
vocation to which the God of peace and
justice calls us — and with us, all the Eu
ropean peoples — that I repeat once
again with you the strongest condemna
tion of all anti-semitism and of all rac
ism, which are opposed to the principles
of Christianity and for which there exists
no justification in the cultures that would
be tempted by them,” the Polish-bom
pope said.

“For the same reasons, we must dis
card any religious prejudice that history
has shown us as inspired by anti-Jewish
stereotypes. ’ ’
The pope spoke to about 30 men in
skullcaps who listened solemnly to his
speech, then presented him with a book
titled “Jews in France” and a painting of
the Strasbourg synagogue built to replace
one destroyed by German soldiers who
occupied the city during World War II.
kaway Archishop Marcel Lefebvre, have
rejected the teachings of the 1962-65
Second Vatican Council that state the
Jewish people are not responsible for the
death of Christ. Lefebvre was excommu
nicated last summer for elevating several
followers to bishops in defiance of
church authority.
The Jewish community of Strasbourg,
now with 15,000 members, was sub
jected to massacres and expulsions in the
14th century and persecution during
World War II. Germans who occupied
the city in 1940 destroyed the synagogue
and 800 Jews were shot or deported.
The pope praised the Jews’ witness to
their faith, which he said "went as far as
martyrdom, that survived the long shad
ows of incomprehension, of the horrible
abyss of the Shoah (Holocaust).”
He did not discuss Israel. Vatican offi
cials have cited Israel’s unsettled borders
and the status of Jerusalem as obstacles
to the Catholic Church’s recognition of
the Jewish state. The Vatican also says
Palestinians are entitled to a homeland.
The pope in turn presented the Jewish
delegation with papal medals.

olics, particularly those inspired by brea-
Earlier, the 68-year-old pope heard a
challenge from the leader of Strasbourg’s
Protestant community, Michel Hoeffel,
who said churches were moving too
slowly toward unity, causing true suffer
ing among the faithful, especially cou
ples of mixed marriage who wanted to
receive the Eucharist together.

Agents scrutinize Bakkers’ finances
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — While
Jim and Tammy Bakker have been
asking for money to regain control of
PTL and set up a new television min
istry, federal agents have been keeping a
close watch on their fund-raising tactics.
“I imagine they’re checking very
carefully to see what he’s doing,” said
Hendersonville lawyer Jim Toms, one of
Bakker’s attorneys. He said federal au
thorities have questioned him about the
recent fund-raising.
“They’re looking at it critically, but
are keeping an open mind,” Toms said.
“They’re giving him room to see what
he is really going to do.”
The focus on the latest fund-raising ef
fort comes in the midst of a 14-month-
long federal grand jury investigation into
possible wrongdoing by the former PTL
president and founder and his top aides.
Bakker won’t disclose how much his
latest efforts have raised. But Toms said
he is keeping federal authorities posted
on Bakker’s activities and has offered to
let Internal Revenue Service agents in
spect Bakker’s financial records.
In a fund-raising campaign launched
last month, the Bakkers mailed about
200,000 packets to potential donors
across the nation.
Cards in the packets spell out their in
tentions: “Your gifts are used to support
Jim and Tammy and all their ministry.
They have the discretion to allocate your
gift where needed. Jim and Tammy have
a nonprofit ministry. New Covenant
Partners and Church, and are proceeding
to apply for tax exemption, but your gift
is not tax deductible at this time.”
Charles Alexander, the Justice Depart
ment prosecutor heading the grand jury
investigation, declined to say if agents
are asking about the Bakkers’ latest
fund-raising techniques.
“I have no comment at all,” Alexan
der told the Charlotte Observer. “I don’t
even acknowledge the existence of an in
vestigation.”
Les Witmer, an IRS spokesman in At
lanta, said: “Obviously, based on pre
vious activities, the Internal Revenue
Service would be very interested in the
fund-raising activities of the new cor
poration.”
The IRS in April revoked PTL’s tax-
exempt status on the ground that Bakker
operated it mostly to make money — not
to minister.
Bakker resigned as PTL president in
March 1987 after admitting a one-time
sexual encounter with former church sec
retary Jessica Hahn.
Three months later, PTL filed forib
ganization under federal bankw;
laws, and a bankruptcy judge has se
ordered the ministry to sell its assets
the Heritage USA Christian retreaia
theme park, the PTL satellite TV *
work and 1,700 undeveloped acres
land.

Soviets report first AIDS death
MOSCOW (AP) — : The Soviet Union on Sunday reported
its first AIDS death, that of a pregnant prostitute from Lenin
grad, and authorities may publish her photograph to alert her
sexual partners.
The 29-year-old woman died Sept. 5 of pneumonia follow
ing a 26-pound weight loss, chronic tonsillitis and bronchitis
and a serious decline in the count of her immune system’s T-
cells, the labor newspaper Trudreported.
All are common symptoms of aquired immune deficiency
syndrome, and the newspaper noted that epidemiologists were
incensed that the woman’s doctors failed to diagnose AIDS
before she died.
authorities are considering publishing the womans
graph to alert her partners, the paper said.
She was registered as a night school student andasawerb
at a factory, but police said she earned her living as apis
tutc for foreigners.
Soviet officials say they have identified 83 AIDS car;
but only one person who has developed the deadly disease
However, they say other cases may have been diagnose!
correctly.
AIDS is caused by a virus that damages the body'simiB
system, leaving victims susceptible to infections andcantet
They are now trying to locate the victim’s sexual partners to
determine who else might be infected with the disease, and
It is spread most often through sexual contact,
syringes shared by drug abusers, infected blood or
ucts, and from pregnant women to their offspring.

son said. “We have nine types of banners
with pictures of griffins, dragons, castles
and unicorns on them, which run for $20
each. Our tents are popular, too.” Daw
son said they make five kinds of tents,
which sell to both individuals and other
Renaissance festivals around the coun
try.
“Our most common style is a closed
tent with a teardrop-shaped entry and 16-
foot peak,” Dawson said. “But we sell
many open tents, too.” The average price
for the hand-made tents is about $1,000
to $1,500, he said.
If the 225 shops can’t hold the visi
tors’ interest, they can watch plays, mu
sical groups, magicians and other per
formers on any of the many stages on the
festival grounds.
Michael Kaufman, also known as
“Magical Mystical Michael,” presents a
unique mixture of magic and humor.
“My great-great-grandfather handed
these magical secrets down to my great
grandfather,” Kaufman said during a
performance. “My great-grandfather
handed them down to my grandfather.
And my grandfather sold them to me.”
Kaufman is one of many professionals
who work the Renaissance Festival
“circuit,” including about 30 festivals
nationwide. The festivals start in April in
Florida and end in November in Texas.
“1 started doing Renaissance Festivals
in 1978 in California, and then went to
Minnesota and Texas,” Kaufman said. “I
used to do street shows in California, but
I prefer doing the festivals. There’s more
money in them, for one thing, and
they’re more controlled. You don’t have
to worry about getting run off of the
road.”
Kaufman’s show is about half an hour
long.
“One thing I really like about the festi
val here in Texas is that there’s 30 min
utes between each show,” Kaufman said.
“It’s a great idea. If you really get caught
up in your act, it gives you a few extra
minutes to go over without running into
the next performer’s time. It’s also a nice
break for the audience.”
Less structured events take place all
over the festival site. James Ellis, known
as Deante Fettucci, does a tightrope act
in the middle of town that even includes
juggling cooked pasta.
“I’ve been working the circuit for
seven years now,” Ellis said. “This is my
first year here at the Texas festival, and I
think it’s going to be great.” Ellis joined
his first testival in children's coin?
when he was 12.
