Summary/Abstract: According to the will of pope Benedict XVI the roman rite has two forms: ordinary and extraordinary. The Holy Week and Triduum Sacrum can be celebrated in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. In 2008 pope Benedict XVI has changed form of the special prayer for Jewish People in Good Friday’s liturgy. The article shows history of changes of this prayer, theology of this text and theological implications for the interreligious dialogue between Catholic Church and Judaism. The Catholic liturgy can be a special space in which theology expresses itself. Therefore every theological dialogue has to look at the liturgy as a very important place for root of Catholic doctrine and theological position. Very helpful for understanding of modern thought of Catholic Church on the Jewish People and Judaism was an essay of papa emeritus on relationship of the Church and Judaism.
