The Pope is in Trouble for What?

So here's the deal. In a letter to Bishops, found here, the Pope reinstated a pre-Vatican II form of the Mass, which includes a prayer that Jews everywhere would be converted. So, now he is is trouble for being narrow minded. I don't get it. It seems to me that much of the Apostle Paul's work was--yep--conversion of the Jews. His discussion of the topic takes up the entire 9th through 11th chapters of Romans. I thought that we were to be about the conversion of all those who don't claim Christ as Savior.

Maybe those who just can't take it when someone stands for something ought to look around. The "stand for nothing" denominations are dying. The Roman church is growing. Even the post-moderns want a link with history.

The nerve of that guy, praying for conversions!
