Prayer changes spark further alarm - Israel/Christianity
7/2/08
Jewish groups and traditionalist Catholics have condemned Pope Benedict’s replacement of the contentious Good Friday prayer which calls for the conversion of Jews. The prayer has been amended to remove language which was offensive to Jews, however some groups say it is still offensive. Likewise, some Catholics say they prefer the original prayer.
