POPE Benedict XVI will reformulate the Roman Catholic Church’s Good Friday liturgy, removing statements deemed offensive by the Jewish Community.

The new prayer will drop all reference to the “blindness” and “darkness” of the Jews in refusing Christ as saviour, the Milan newspaper Il Giornale, reported on Jan. 18. It stated the Pope had prepared a draft version of the new prayer, which would be released in time for Holy Week celebrations in March.
