Note to Rabbi Rosen: You're worried that this liturgy presents Jews as being doomed in their faith. You're ignoring that the whole religion represents you as being doomed in your faith. Now, you show me where I'm wrong, but I wasn't aware that there was anything in Catholic dogma that says that Jews won't go to the Catholic Hell without first taking on Jesus as Saviour. The Vatican had done a lot to apologize for slaughtering Jews in the past, sure. Had they ever come out and said they were wrong about Jesus being the only way to avoid eternal damnation, though?
Note to everyone else: Have you forgotten that this man led the Inquisition? Call it the Conference for the Doctrine of the Faith if you like; a rose by any other name still gives me hives. This is Roman Catholicism, people. Conversion is job one.
