Israel asked the Vatican on tuesday to clarify the distinguished award of Knighthood in the 147-year-old order of Pius in made in a july 6 ceremony at the Vienna offices of the papal Nuncio. The timing of the award was curious coming just months after the Vatican and Israel recognized each other in de Cember and first exchanged ambassadors in March. The award has barely raised a Public Eyebrow in Waldheim s roman Catholic Homeland. But it has angered jews. The disparate reaction re Calls the bitter 1986 controversy Over Waldheim s concealment of his service in the German army in world War ii.

Many seemed prepared to forgive him for keeping his wartime past a secret Al though there were also Calls for him to stand Down. Many jews in the United states and Israel however considered Waldheim now 75, a virtual War criminal for his service in the Balkans near the site of nazi atrocities. The july award of the papal Knighthood was at tended by leading austrian figures and several foreign diplomats. It was barely reported in austrian Media and passed without pub comment. At the ceremony Pana Nuncio archbishop Donato Squicciarini said the Pope decided on the Knighthood award feb. 22. However such decisions usually Aren t published for months after the fact. In his fulsome oration Squicciarini gave a glowing account of Waldheim s tenure As . Secretary Gener Al from. 1972-1982, and As austrian president from 1986-1992, according to a copy of the remarks obtained last week by the associated press. He said it was a High Honor for him to present the award to Waldheim and made no mention of the inter National and Domestic juror caused by Waldheim s term As president or of his diplomatic isolation. Wald Heim was declared Persona non grata in the United states and a 1987 visit to the Vatican was one of Only a few he made abroad As president. Squicciarini instead focused on Austria s role As a fighter for human rights on the fateful dividing line Between West and East and praised Waldheim s leadership during Iraq s invasion of Kuwait in 1990. He referred also to Waldheim s controversial visit to iraqi president Saddam Hussein in late August 1990 to secure the release of More than 90 austrians trapped in Baghdad.
