		<description>Too bad you don't show more understanding and respect for your own Catholic faith.

First of all, Benedict XVI hasn't "restored" anything.  The Traditional Latin Mass has never gone anywhere.  Paul VI encouraged the indult to use the Traditioanl Latin Mass.  John Paul II said in _Ecclesia Dei_ that anyone who wants a Traditional Latin Mass should be permitted an indult by the bishop.  The only thing different about _Summorum Pontificum_ is that Benedict chastised the bishops for not obeyng _Ecclesia Dei_ and cut them out of the process, except as the first step of appeal *if the pastor denies people the right to the ancient liturgy.*

Secondly, since there is no Mass on Good Friday, the question of the Good Friday liturgy is technically irrelevant to the "Traditional Mass".  

Then, we're talking about two things in this accusation of "anti-Semitism": 1) the prayer for the conversion of the Jews (nothing wrong there, and, if you think there is, you're a heretic); 2) the use of the word "perfidious."

How is it "anti-Semitic" to pray, "We love the Jews and want them to abandon their sinful ways and false beliefs and join our Church"?  anti-Semitic would be, "For the death of all Jews."</description>
