Inquisition Revisited

What century are we in?

Pope Benedict is talking about returning to the Catholic liturgy a choice piece of once-abandoned ritual that calls for the conversion of Jews and refers to "perfidious Jews."

The prayers ask God to "take the veil" off Jewish hearts and show mercy "even for the Jews."

Even!

Is the Pope familiar with Hamas? Has he heard of Iran? Is he aware of the enormous world-wide hatred toward Jews today?
