What is this life if, full of care, |
 |
|
|
No
time to see, in broad daylight Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. Wm. Henry Davis (1871-1940) |

Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa has welcomed the announcement by Pope Benedict XVI that would allow Catholic priests to celebrate the Latin Mass without the approval of a local bishop, as long as a "stable group of faithful" requests it. However, Prendergast also said in a news release July 7 that fears that "this gesture would be a turning back of the clock, cause further divisions in the Church or harm interfaith relations are groundless." Rabbi Reuven Bulka, co-president of the Canadian Jewish Congress told the Ottawa Citizen a day earlier that the announcement "almost amounts to a call to convert (Jews)," he said. "It's a massive step backwards. It stuns me. That's not the image I had of this pope." The Holy Week Latin Mass calls for the conversion of Jews. The U.S.-based Anti-Defamation League called it a "theological setback" and a "body blow to Catholic-Jewish relations." |
