Traditional Catholics agree with Pius XI's teaching in his Decree Cum Supremae in 1928:

"…the Catholic Church has always been accustomed to pray for the Jewish people, who were the depository of divine promises up until the arrival of Jesus Christ, notwithstanding their subsequent blindness, or rather, because of this very blindness. Moved by that charity, the Apostolic See has protected the same people from unjust ill-treatment, and just as it censures all hatred and enmity among people, so it altogether condemns in the highest degree possible hatred against the people once chosen by God, viz., the hatred that now is what is usually meant in common parlance by the term known generally as “anti-Semitism.”

The problem is that there are those who now believe that these comments constitute "anti-semitism". And many of them call themselves "Catholic".

Nostrae Aetate, as you know. Shall we freeze Christian/Jewish relations in 1928? The subtle theological aspects are still developing, which can only lead to more harmony in world. Substitution theory is essentially condemned by Catholics and Jews. But some want to keep a false and patronizing view of the Jews until the end of time. What could be more arrogant for a Christian?
