"Conservative rabbis 'dismayed' over Catholic prayer"
I worried that something like this might happen. It makes me wonder about the fruitfulness of the progress made so far in jewish-christian dialogue when these conservative rabbis get "dismayed and deeply disturbed" that Catholic doctrine desires them to come to believe Jesus Christ is the long-promised Messiah."An assembly representing Conservative rabbis worldwide expressed dismay on Tuesday over a revised Roman Catholic prayer calling for the conversion of Jews and voted to ask the Vatican to clarify the text's meaning.
The Rabbinical Assembly, which represents 1,600 Conservative rabbis worldwide, said it was "dismayed and deeply disturbed to learn of reports that Pope Benedict XVI has revised the 1962 text of the Latin Mass, retaining the rubric, 'For the conversion of the Jews.'" - Reuters
I mean, what exactly have they been dialoguing about all this time, if such a notion comes as a surprise?!
