I find it offensive that an organization as Anti-Semitic as the RCC claims exclusivity as being the only true church.

NO CHRISTIAN can be an Anti-Semite or Anti-Zionist , and certainly no organization which purports to be sole legitimate indwelling of the Holy Spirit would do such acts.

The Jews are God’s People.. God’s Holy Spirit would not be leading the charge in killing them.

No.. the RCC is not some special apple in God’s eye.. the Israelis are.

And the rest of us, through Israel , come to learn of God and receive our grace just as all people do,... via faith in God alone.. BECAUSE NO ONE IS WORTHY (via works) by other means... NOT ONE.

CCC, 839

The relationship of the Church with the Jewish People. When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People,326 "the first to hear the Word of God."327 The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ",328 "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."

Spew your nonsense elsewhere.

Hmmm, I think you got something there. For me, it is a sad realization that apparently my Catholic friends have been pitying me in the back of their minds all along that I’m not Catholic and am steadily heading for hell unless I convert. Even though I worship at my church on Sundays, Oops! I meant my “ecclesial community”!
