A RELIGIOUS FREEDOM MARKED IN SPAIN Madrid, March 2 — (UPI) — Jews and Roman Catholics knelt together in prayer Tuesday night for the first time in Spain's history to mark a new era of religious freedom. They joined in Psalm 126 — the song of exiled Jews returning to the land of God: "When the Lord turned against the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” They heard the leader of Madrid’s Jewish community, Max Mazin, praise the late Pope John XXIII as “a good, generous, inspired and providential pontiff.” The service brought 700 Jews and Catholics together in the church of Santa Maria in downtown Madrid to mark the passing of a law giving non-Catholic denominations religious freedom in Spain. Between the Roman Catholic prayers and Jewish psalms, the worshippers knelt together to praise their tommon God. "I felt I was hearing something going back through the ages, something buried in consciences, a heartmoving appeal from the beginning of mankind,” one Catholic said.
