A few years ago, when
the Catholic
church reform began to be much
in the news, Mrs. Moskowitz said to Mrs.
Finkelstein, “Tell me,
Becky, have you heard by chance what’s going
on in Rome?”
“No,” said Mrs Finkelstein. “I haven’t. What’s going
on in Rome?”
“A meeting of high Catholic churchmen has, among other
things,
decided that the Jews are not responsible for the
crucifixion of
Jesus.”
Mrs Finkelstein raised her eyebrows. “Indeed? And
who is responsible,
then?”
“I’m not sure,” said Mrs. Moskowitz.
“I think they suspect the
Puerto Ricans.”
