"Jews Are Overreacting"
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
A reader writes in response to my post, "Is Latin Bad for the Jews?"I was a devout Catholic until I was about 20 years old. I am now in my 60's. After many years of thinking about it, I converted to Judaism about 15 years ago.
Jews are overreacting to the reemergence of the Latin Mass. I was raised with it and I don't believe that, in and of itself, the Tridentine mass was an agent of anti-semitism. In fact, I think that the Catholic Church made a big mistake when it dumped the unversality of Latin, in pursuit of a kind of faux multiculturalism. It was divisive, not unifying.
Jews have nothing to fear from people who love the old Latin Mass. Jews should NOT get involved in protesting this. It won't stop anything, but it might make some mad at us for no good reason.
