This reminds me of the warnings of all the anti-semitism that was supposed to spring up from The Passion of the Christ.

performing mass(sic)

Palmieri-Billig thinks that she's in the Catskills watching summer stock.

Sorry, this article has it wrong. Under the new directive, no one has to ask permission of the bishop, and the Latin Mass was not abolished. (those are the two biggies I’ve spotted, haven’t read the whole article yet.)

[pgkdan]

Nearly every point the author makes in this article is wrong, wrong, wrong! Why would someone so ignorant of the subject matter offer an article for publication? Why shine a light on your ignorance?

[Aquinasfan]

Jewish groups are upset that the mass contain a prayer for the conversion of the Jews.

Oh, for cryin' out loud.

[Rutles4Ever]

Contemporary Good Friday prayers no longer ask for the conversion of Jews

Actually they do. The irony of all of this is that, if Christianity is indeed a false religion, why are people so afraid of the power of Christian prayer?

I would like to know where in the Latin mass I attended frequently in the 40s and50s the ‘perfidious jews’ are mentioned.It is not in my daily missal.

When the church and Mass went from a quiet, dignified ceremony in Latin with an organist to a hometown revival with geetars and kissing and hugging, I left the church.

When I went back on one occasion and introduced myself to the pastor after leaving Mass, he gave me a box of little envelopes. I left and never went back again.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

The author should have at least capitalized the word “Mass”.
