Anti-Defamation League statement about the papal Motu Proprio on the 1962 Missal

Foxman, Abraham H.
Estados Unidos (2007/07/06)

 

We are extremely disappointed and deeply offended that nearly 40 years after the Vatican rightly removed insulting anti-Jewish language from the Good Friday liturgy, that it would now permit Catholics to utter such hurtful and insulting words by praying for Jews to be converted. This is a theological setback in the religious life of Catholics and a body blow to Catholic-Jewish relations. It is the wrong decision at the wrong time.
It appears the Vatican has chosen to satisfy a right-wing faction in the Church that rejects change and reconciliation.
