From a Book Review

Here:

The revised prayer for the Jews, incidentally, is translated thus:

"Let us pray, and also for the Jews. May our God and Lord enlighten their hearts, so that they may acknowledge Jesus Christ, saviour of all men."

I can see that Jewish people might [might?] not like those words - but that's because they believe that Jesus was not the Messiah. As for Christians who are offended by it, well, that's their problem.


Why should it be a "problem"? Can't persons of religious faith not appreciate having a believer of another faith trying to persuade them to reject their current belief? This is not a simple insurance policy that one agent pushes into the territory of another, or a fashion store advertising more (or less) garish apparel.

Oh, the book is the new Roman Catholic Missal.
