A Polish Jesuit priest remembered as a leading Catholic voice against antisemitism and for Catholic-Jewish reconciliation. Through 2020 the opening said he wrote on "Anti-Semitism, Catholic-Jewish relations, and issues between Poland and world Jewry" and was "intensely devoted to combating Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia." Today the opening calls him only a "leader of Catholic-Jewish dialogue and Polish-Jewish reconciliation," with antisemitism dropped, though it survives three times in the body. A reader arriving now learns he worked toward reconciliation and not that he is specifically remembered for combating antisemitism.
