Lest we Forget: Hairy Plotters

In addition to claiming that people of other Christian faiths are "defective," (current) Pope Benedict the 16th (as in century?) is expected to allow the return of the old-school Latin Mass, which calls for the conversion of those pesky and transgressive Jews.

Link: Pope's Latin Mass push may revive prayer for Jews

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A prayer for the conversion of the Jews sidelined from Roman Catholic liturgy in the 1960s may stage a surprise comeback on Saturday, when Pope Benedict is expected to allow broader use of the old Latin Mass.

Church reforms in the 1960s replaced Latin with local languages in the liturgy, reached out to other religions and struck texts that Jews found particularly offensive, such as a Good Friday prayer referring to "perfidious Jews".

Benedict's decree is due to revive a 1962 Latin prayer book that removed the word "perfidious" but left standing prayers for their conversion that ask God to "take the veil" off Jewish hearts and show mercy "even for the Jews," Church sources said.
