| | Bestselling author Michael Fumento reports: "Nunsense at Auschwitz." |
| | Thus, having just stated that the Auschwitz controversy is less foolish-sounding than it might seem, many on both sides agree that it is potentially damaging. | | | The Church has agreed to move the convent and has found no justification to the contrary, and it has offered no valid excuse not to honor that agreement. | | | Further, it is difficult to see how the purpose of the convent would be compromised by moving it to an area just outside of Auschwitz as opposed to right on the grounds. |

| | In May 1999, the Parliament passed a Government-sponsored law to protect the sites of all the former camps in the country. | | | Government efforts to resolve the situation in the fall of 1998 through the courts by revoking the lease on the land held by the Association of War Victims met with little success. | | | The Government consulted with international Jewish groups in preparing the law, which gave the Government the power it needed to resolve the issue of the "new crosses." |

| | But what about an effort less ambitious than the search for meaning or the imposition of theology? | | | Finally, in 1999, in an odd "compromise," the Polish parliament passed a law requiring the removal of the smaller crosses but making the papal cross permanent. | | | The Carmelite presence at the gate of Auschwitz was immediately protested by leaders of Jewish groups throughout Europe and in the United States and Israel. |

| | Item 2 will be to deal with the issue of the Church and power. | | | In his sermon, the Pope called Auschwitz the "Golgotha of the modern world" and expressed his hope that a place of prayer and penance could be built on the site to honor the Catholics martyrs who were killed there and to atone for the murders. | | | Carroll insists that the cross "must be re-imagined and de-emphasized, as a Christian symbol." The suffering and death of Jesus must be seen as part of the continuum of this life, not separated from what he said and did. |

| | From the first day that the Auschwitz main concentration camp opened in June 1940, it was the place where Polish political prisoners were sent. | | | It was the Carmelite nuns who placed the first cross at the Auschwitz main camp in 1988, near their convent which was just outside the walls of the camp. | | | Protests about the convent at Auschwitz were more effective and finally the hierarchy of the Catholic Church agreed to evict the nuns from the building. |

| | Religious symbolism, specifically Christian crosses, at Auschwitz prompted this action. | | | Thus, it is significant to note that in May 1999 the Sejm, Poland's parliament, passed legislation to restrict inappropriate development and public gatherings within a 100-meter perimeter of former Nazi concentration and death camps on Polish soil. | | | This particularly large cross had been relocated from Auschwitz-Birkenau, the camp's major killing center, where the symbol was initially used on June 7, 1979, when Pope John Paul II celebrated mass there during his first papal visit to his native Poland. |
