The Catholic Church is the true Israel, because in her the covenants with Israel of old are fulfilled, and the new one exists. However, the Church is neither a replacement for or heir of the geopolitical and historical entity known as Israel. The question which covenants of the Old Testament refer to the Church and which — to the country of Israel and which — to the Jewish people does not have a simple answer, and some aspects of it are open to debate.

Very good. We are not replacements for Israel, in spite of the nuts and crazies and lunatics that accuse us of claiming that. We have been offered the New Covenant and for that we are eternally grateful. But we do not supplant Israel and we are adopted sons, not the original sons.
