Pope Angers Jews, Liberals With Rite
Conservatives Rejoice as Pontiff Revives Old Latin Mass
By NICOLE WINFIELD,AP

VATICAN CITY (July 7) - Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday removed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass, reviving a rite that was all but swept away by the liberalizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

The decision, a victory for traditional, conservative Roman Catholics, came over the objections of liberal-minded Catholics and angered Jews because the Tridentine Mass contains a prayer for their conversion.
Benedict, who stressed that he was not negating Vatican II, issued a document authorizing parish priests to celebrate the Tridentine rite if a "stable group of faithful" requests it. Currently, the local bishop must approve such requests - an obstacle that supporters of the rite say has greatly limited its availability.

"What earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us, too," Benedict wrote.

The document upset Jews, since the Tridentine rite contains a prayer on Good Friday of Easter Week calling for their conversion. The Anti-Defamation League called the move a "body blow to Catholic-Jewish relations," the Jewish news agency JTA reported.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center urged Benedict to publicly point out that such phrases "are now entirely contrary to the teaching of the church."

In reviving the rite, Benedict was reaching out to the followers of an excommunicated ultratraditionalist, the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who split with the Vatican over Vatican II, particularly the introduction of the New Mass celebrated in the vernacular.

The Vatican excommunicated Lefebvre in 1988 after he consecrated four bishops without Rome's consent. The bishops were excommunicated as well.

Benedict has been eager to reconcile with Lefebvre's group, the Society of St. Pius X, which has demanded freer use of the old Mass as a precondition for normalizing relations. The other precondition is the removal of the excommunication decrees. The Vatican did not address the excommunication issue Saturday and there was no indication if or when it would.

Does anyone have the calculation of how many thousands of gallons of gas (auto/jets/limos) as well as how much coal had to be burned to create the electricity used at the show? Don't forget the additional energy burned cooking food in all the hotels/restaurants/venues that the performers and fans went to. Any ideas or websites with the numbers?

Apparently the cost of live earth is $3 Billion and is going to be carbon neutal if we plant enough trees according to the highly intellectual Joss Stone.

What if the pop stars stayed at home paid proper taxes and donated the $3 Billion to fight aids and homelessness?

What do you think is going on here, an excuse for a gig to earn money for those who make a living out of promoting the environment, or does your level of awareness need raising?

Will those watching drink, smoke and inject sufficient substances to be aware of even where the tiolets are?

I have always been against the death punishment , but I changed my mind a month ago.

In Cairo , Egypt , a street gangster - partially vagabond , partially hoodlum , partially hobo , just the type u would see constantly drinking & vomiting under a bridge - with the name of Ramadan the Turbine. This low-life figure, raped , burned , maimed , threw from moving trains , an identified number of homeless kids "between 15 & 32". He was sentenced to death sentence.

After 30 + years of being against death sentence, I think he deserves it.

Does he?

"A toddler who choked to death at her nursery was a victim of manslaughter by gross negligence"

Little Molly was in her cot where the strings from a bag tied to her cot became entangled around her neck, causing her to choke. She was alone for 20 minutes in the room, although, staff were present in the building. The staff have been found negligent for leaving the bag tied to the cot, an obvious danger for a small child.
Now, in my opinion, in the case of the McCanns, this is just one of the reasons why you do not leave young children/babies alone whilst you are out drinking and socialising. Although we don't know what has happened to Madeleine McCann, we do know that something awful has happened and I would like to know why the parents aren't facing charges of negligence for leaving Madeleine and the twins in a potentially dangerous situation, which has resulted in Madeleines disappearance.

Did anyone read the story in The Sun newspaper or other paper.Of the little Girl Casey aged 2 who was raped and strangled by her own uncle. while her parents where down stairs arguing. He strangled her with a mobile phone wire. He got Life and a minimum of 35 years. I am near crying now as I write this. How can anybody be soooo sick and cruel. Do you think his sentence was enough? I think crimes like this deserve the death penalty. Anyone agree?

The following is freaky, and bear in mind, it is all 100% true.

1) New York City has 11 letters.

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb.(The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11.

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6 + 5=11.

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1 + 1 =11.

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
