Jordanian King Abdullah II's religious adviser and cousin, Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal, uses the Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Amman to swipe at the Jewish people, indicating that one point of accord between Muslims and Christians may still be a disdainful view of Jews.
Ghazi commended the Pope for rehabilitating the Tridentine Mass, which "includes a Good Friday prayer calling for the conversion of the Jews."
Although this statement is despicable, it does put the Pope on the hot seat, where he should remain, for readmitting this Mass. As long as the Tridentine Mass remains viable, statements lauding "the inseparable bond between the church and the Jewish people," uttered by the Pope yesterday, will be hollow.
