We still pray for the conversion of the Jews. That seems to be offensive.

I wonder if the Vatican will put out some sort of clarification wherein the Tridentine is used but with a Latin translation of John XXIII’s version of his appropriate changes in the Novus Ordo.

The sentence about some Jews being upset because of a prayer for their conversion caught my eye. As a (non-observant) Jew I find the controversy to be totally ridiculous. What possible difference does it make if Catholics want to pray for Jews to convert? Nobody's being forced to convert, so nobody's rights are being violated. If that's what floats your boat, pray away all you want.

Of all the things for Jews to worry about in today's world, I can't think of anything less important.
