"Furthermore, in the dimension of faith, the Christian understands that all men are guilty of the death of Christ, for all have in some manner denied htm," the bishops said.

At the current council session, however, a strong force of Roman Catholic bishops and cardinals have demanded restoration of the original position, denying that any particular blame rests on Jews of any time. The matter remains unresolved.
