Latin Mass No Threat To Judaism

Submitted by Alex, Jul 14, 2007 11:03

I'm 10 years old and attend a Catholic School. I've attended masses said in English with my class, and I've attended Latin Masses with my family. I prefer the Latin Mass because it makes me feel that I've actually spent some time with God--it's more like Church. Whoever thinks the Latin Mass has anti-Jewish parts has clearly never been to one. I've read no anti-Jewish prayers. The Latin Mass is focused on praising God. It is pro-God, not anti-Jewish or anti-anyone else. And it's not hard to learn the Latin prayers. If I can do it, so can you.
