Discriminating backwards


The "Good Friday Prayer" controversy continues

"So....the prayer in question does not state that Jews must convert, or have to convert, or even that they are going to hell if they don't convert. (See the Catechism of the Catholic Church for related information.) But some Jewish leaders are saying that Catholics must not pray for Jews, nor even vaguely hope for Jews to become Christian, otherwise they are engaging in a form of anti-Semitism. Now I'm getting confused: who is showing disrespect and intolerance for whom? "
