| Description |
Newly released documents from the Vatican Archives show that Amici Israel (established in 1926), an international organization of priests working for improved relations between Jews and the Catholic Church, was dissolved by the pope in March 1928 because of its proposal two months earlier that the word "perfidis" be eliminated from the Good Friday prayer for the Jews. The Holy Office was also offended by radical ideas presented in Amici Israel's bulletin. The Church was urged to refrain from calling the Jews deicides and inconvertible, to stop libellous rumors, and to avoid all forms of antisemitism. In February 1928, Cardinal Merry del Val reiterated an earlier refusal by the Holy Office to modify the liturgy and called for the dissolution of the organization. Behind Amici Israel's request to modify the prayer, the Cardinal thought he detected Jewish influence and conspiracy. The pope embraced this view. A sentence condemning antisemitism was included in the Vatican's decree disbanding the organization, in order to ward off possible accusations of antisemitism. It was the first time the word appeared in an official Church document.
