The Tridentine Rite Good Friday prayers called them “the perfidious Jews” for a reason.

The softer version of the petition (as adapted for the Lutheran Book of Worship in 1978) prays that the Jewish people "might arrive with us at the fulness of salvation
through Jesus Christ our Lord. We want them to be saved through the only Savior.

...Good Friday prayers called them the perfidious Jews...Interesting that the Catholic's invented this comfey chair to fix them for that.
For some strange reason, it offended the Jews. Must be perfidious or something getting offended by the "Holy Roman Church"!

You are misapplying the word "perfidious" which is a false friend in Latin.
The English word "perfidious" means "prone to breaking promises, dealing underhandedly, treacherous, sneaky" etc.
The Latin word "perfidaeis" simply means "breaking with/from the faith" and does not carry the same broad and nasty connotations as the later English word.
The prayer is essentially saying that these people who have broken with the covenant should reestablish it.
And, by the way, if this man believes that ripping up a printed translation of the NT is going to injure Christianity, then he knows a lot less than he thinks he does.
