True Anti-Semitism


Most people seeing how Pope Benedict XVI has changed the Church's Good
Friday prayer for the Jєωs will think he has been their friend,
because the change was in a direction demanded by spokesmen of theirs,
who made themselves heard. However, for any Catholic who has the
Catholic Faith, Benedict XVI has been in this not their friend but
their enemy.

The difference is quite simply the difference between our brief life
here below, and life everlasting: For purposes of this life, lasting
for each of us, let us say, 70 years, he has been their friend,
because by, for instance, taking out of the 1962 text the references
to the Jєωs' "blindness", "darkness" and "the veil over their hearts",
he has softened the Church's solemn criticism of their condition.. On
the other hand by the same softening he will also have diminished
Catholics' awareness of how especially Jєωs need the charity of
Catholics' prayers.

For indeed from Adam to world's end, faith in the one and only
Redeemer, to come or having come, can alone save any soul from eternal
damnation, unless that soul lives without serious sin and is honestly
ignorant of the Redeemer .But honest ignorance presents a particular
difficulty for the Jєωs who had all the privileges of the Old
Testament to prepare them for the coming of their Messiah, Jesus
Christ, and who ever since have had to put "the veil over their
hearts" in order not to recognize him in the multiple prophecies of
their Old Testament, notably Isaiah LIII.

Therefore the recent Good Friday liturgy change, by diminishing
Catholics' awareness of that real "veil", etc, has done a disservice
to Jєωs' eternal salvation. In this respect of the Catholic Faith,
Benedict XVI has, objectively, shown himself to be against the Jєωs
purely as Jєωs. Is there any other possible true definition of the
expression "αnтι-ѕємιтє" ?

Sacred Heart of Jesus, between now and world's end, grant to your
Church many martyrs to die for the eternal salvation of your racial
kinsmen, beloved by you ! Kyrie eleison.
