I’m posting this comment to you again since you didn’t respond to any point I made in it:
The Jews are the Chosen People and are beloved by God. I assume they will not die out either. But Catholicism, the new Covenant begun and sanctified by Christ, will not die out either. Christ promised He would be with us to the end, guiding us and teaching us. He instituted this Church to reach out to all men.
It doesn’t matter which theologians outside the one, holy, and apostolic Church you want to consider. They have no bearing on the Truth followed by the Catholic Church.
I thought I had read in one of your posts that you were reared as a Christian. Yet you wrote: “Why, was he a higher critic too? I guess that’s why he died from suffocation (heneq)” and that surprised me. If I am recalling correctly, then I don’t think I need to explain to you why Christ had to die.
Christ lived out the fulfillment of the Passover, foreshadowed to the Jews. God instituted the Passover to help the Jews recognize the truth when Christ appeared as the Messiah. The spotless Lamb was sacrificed to save. Indeed, the Bread of Life was hidden away in a piece of linen, in the tomb, just as the bread is broken and hidden away during the Passover meal. Christ’s blood was used to mark his followers and protect them for all eternity.
I’ve read some very interesting books about the Jewish festivals and how each one foreshadows Christ and the course mankind will take. Let me know if you would like the titles.

Since you have just condemned "simplistic" readings of the bible, and all this that you have stated is, in fact, simplistic, I must confess that it is quite impossible to communicate with you.
