It’s crazy. No one has to become a Catholic unless they choose to. Would it be Jew-friendly if the Church said that Jews weren’t worth evangelizing?

Unsurprisingly, the people who object to this are just about all secular leftist Jews, not religious Jews, who take their faith seriously and have a better understanding of religion.

I don't know. I've seen some of the more Orthodox having problems but their argument is usually very circular. Their main complaint is with the dilution or destruction of their group (identity?). They (some) claim that they don't evangelize others and that their religion allows others to freely worship without condemnation (and the need for evangelizing). But when it's pointed out that if that is the case, then there is no actual threat from evangelism...they backtrack to the Noahide law which states that you can only worship one God and the Christian God is considered polytheistic. So...it's kind of a multilevel issue for them. Religious and identity politics.

I found this out during a heated discussion between several Jews and Christians.lol
