The Solemn Prayers of Good Friday
RECTIFICATION
in what concerns the Solemn Prayers of the Good Friday Liturgy, the Transalpine Redemptorists will return to the traditional Good Friday Solemn Liturgy and the ancient prayer for the Jews.
I HEREBY RECTIFY my defective direction concerning the Jewish religion.
I apologise for giving favourable opinions concerning that religion, especially by visiting synagogues and praying with the Jews between 1971 and 1977.
I had imagined that in the synagogue, seeing a father and his son praying, would have been like seeing St Joseph and the Infant Jesus praying in the synagogue of Nazareth. In that sense I believed that the Jews were like "older brothers" in an historical sense. That opinion was false.

The Jewish religion, passed away with the death of Our Lord on Mount Calvary, when the veil of the Temple was torn from the top to the bottom. It continued with Christianity: Jews were baptized first and then Gentiles: These new born Christians seamlessly continued the faith of the Old Testament into the New Testament: The New Israel, the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ.
The Old Testament Temple was finally destroyed in 70 AD.
The Old Testament Temple was finally destroyed in 70 AD.
After that time, those Jews who refused to believe in Our Lord, continued their existence with teachings called the Mishnah and the Talmud- these are the central texts for Rabbinical Judaism.
The Talmud is blasphemous concerning both Our Lord and Our Lady.
I withdraw any support I have given to the Jewish religion, I apologise to anyone I have offended. I pray for the conversion of the Jews. I hope that any Jew would find in me a brother who would help him to accept Baptism.
I urge readers to do their own study concerning the Jewish religion.

Just a few words to say hello from Guatemala!! I´m in love with all the writings of St Alfonso, too bad his books are so little known by catholics these days.
My e-mail is alaxt@hotmail.com It would be nice to hear from you.
With all that, even if you do not agree with both Israel and J.Ratzinger's policy I ask you to respect the Pope.
P.S.: In this Blog, I think all of you have to debate using much more quietness.

========================
This prayer consequently favors ecumenism, and is not acceptable
to traditional Catholics, nor will it be used. Traditional Catholics will not accept that the traditional Missal be tampered with, and that Benedict XVI succeed in his plan of bringing about an influence of the
"ordinary" form, changing the "extraordinary form" of the Roman rite, as he calls it. Just as traditional priests retain the words "faithless" and "infidelity" that John XXIII tried to remove, so likewise will they retain the traditional prayer for the onversion of the Jews.
Yours faithfully in Christ our King and Mary our Queen,
Father Peter R. Scott

Thank you, thank you. I keep you all in my prayers and beg your prayers for myself.
Second, 'by their fruits you shall know them' - it is inconceivable that Our Lord would have spoken in the manner that certain of these critics espouse. Sadly their words and attitude reveal an ugly and unpalatable arrogance, the antithesis of Christ's teaching and example.
Third, why are 95% of these comments from anonymous contributors? If they truly have the courage of their convictions why hide behind anonymity which immediately puts their integrity into question? This is particularly true of aggressive and offensive comments.
Fourth, Thank you Fathers and Brothers of the Transalpine Redemptorists for your example and loyalty to Christ's Church and to our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVIth. 'Our Lady, Queen of Heaven, pray for us'.
Also, I note with interest (and some puzzlement) the following editorial statement regarding The Catholic newspaper, which is published by the Transalpine Redemptorists:
'We refuse to print any material favouring positions not held by the Society of St Pius X.'
The views attributed to Fr. Peter Scott raise the question, does the SSPX have a consistent position regarding the revision of the Good Friday prayers?
To new Good-FRiday-prayer:
1. I recognice that the Pope has principially the right and the power to change also things in the old rite.
2. Compared with the new rite I see/recognice the positive elements in the new prayer: the CHristocentric and the prayer to illuminate the Jews that they recognice CHrist.
3.But the very end of the prayer gives the hole prayer a turningpoint, that is unacceptable: to beg only for conversion of the Jews at end of time. But The prayer should beg for conversion of all the Jews all the generations before that point of time - but it does not. So that is unaceptable.
Therfore I beg You, Rev. Fa. Michael, in the name of CRist and Our Lady: dont recognice this new prayer - You can`t do that - please think about, it´s so clear...!

===================
Alphonsus, the problem is that Fr. Peter Scott does not present his opinion as *opinion*. Rather he pretends to give a judgement on behalf of Traditional Catholics and apparently of greater weight that the order of the Holy Father. Are we to pretend that this "authority" is somehow supplied? Based on what criteria other than his own private judgement on the matter?

God bless the Transalpine Redemptorists!
till some weeks ago this Blog had the Moderator Option active. After having had a look at some of your comments I think it would be a good thing to reactivate that Option. In any case it is possible that some of you does not know that:
1) " Perfidis Judaeis " DOES NOT MEANS " Perfidious Judaeans (Jews) " BUT " Judeans (Jews) which are unaware of (J.C.) " 2) " Formerly Pope Montini (Pope Giovanni XXIII), in the 1959 wanted to eliminate the adjective - perfidis - referred to the Judaeans (Jews) 3) To Pope Benedetto XVI has been asked for change the " Good Friday Prayer " (by the Rome Rabbi) for trying to avoid a new wave of anti-Semitism in Italy, in Europe, in the world. Maybe the Prayer is changed very much in its form but not so much in its meaning.
A) < Oremus et pro perfidis Judaeis ut Deus et Dominus noster auferat velamen de cordibus eorum; ut et ipsi agnoscant Jesum Christum, Dominum nostrum. Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui etiam judaicam perfidiam a tua misericordia non repellis: exaudi preces nostras, quas pro illius populi obcaecatione deferimus; ut, agnita veritatis tuae luce, quae Christus est, a suis tenebris eruantur. >
B) Oremus et pro Iudaeis. Ut Deus et Dominus noster illuminet corda eorum, ut agnoscant Iesum Christum salvatorem omnium hominum. Oremus. Flectamus genua. Levate. Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui vis ut omnes homines salvi fiant et ad agnitionem veritatis veniant, concede propitius,ut plenitude gentium in Ecclesiam Tuam intrante omnis Israel salvus fiat. Per Christum Dominum Nostrum. Amen.
God bless you all

I ask that no more comments be posted.

If has been rumored here in Russia that after Bp. Williamson’s negative reaction, the Trasnalpine Redemptorists have decided to go back on their word and NOT to say the new Good Friday Prayer for the Conversion of the Jews which they have claimed to filially adopt before. Can you confirm or, hopefully, deny these rumors in an official way?
Yours sincerely, and asking humbly for your prayers,
Oleg-Michael Martynov,

je ne suis pas d'accord avec le changement du prière du vendredi sainte, parce que il me semble que seulemente c'est fit pour diviser aux tradicionalistes. Et même si c'est vrai que le Pape est le pape, ca changemente etait destiné pour la messe extraordinaire, mais la messe tridentine est la messe de toujours, et il ne me semble pas bien que seulemente le changemente etait pour la messe tridentine et pas pour tout le monde.
