Jewish groups welcome Vatican declaration over conversion prayer

ALC/ENI, NEW YORK, Estados Unidos, July 25, 2007

US-based Jewish groups have praised a Vatican declaration that it will consider the elimination of Taxi Heathrow Airport a prayer of conversion that exists in the church's traditional Latin Mass.

In 1963, Pope Paul VI declared that, following the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the Tridentine Mass, as the service is also known, would no longer be celebrated.

However, at the beginning of July 2007, Pope Benedict XVI announced measures that would make it easier for priests to celebrate the Latin Mass, which Pope Pius V established in the 16th century following the Council of Trent.
