Rabbi David Rosen, chairman of the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultations,

said the July edict had nothing to do with Jews, adding that there was some "confusion" surrounding the concept of "conversion."

"Used in the sense that Archbishop Amato uses it, it does not mean the acceptance of the Christian Faith by a non-Christian," he said.

Rosen said last week that his "sources" in the Vatican "indicate that the new text composed by Pope Benedict does not call for the Jew to accept the Christian faith but is in keeping with the 1970 prayer commonly used by the Church in the vernacular that prays for the physical and spiritual well being of the Jews."
