• Rabbis may denounce prayer backed by Pope as dangerous to Jewish-Catholic ties

Conservative rabbis could vote this week on a resolution warning that a Latin prayer backed by Pope Benedict XVI, urging Jews to embrace Jesus, could endanger Jewish-Catholic ties. The resolution reflects deep unhappiness over the Pope's decision to revive a Latin prayer, to be heard by a small minority of Catholics during Good Friday services, which says that Jews should recognize Jesus Christ as the savior of all humanity.
