>> “why do you keep calling Jesus Yeshua?” <<

.
Because that is his given name, the name by which he wishes to be called.

He was never once called “Jesus” when he walked the Earth. and for at least a century and a half after.

Jesus means absolutely nothing, it is just a third or fourth hand transliteration arising from sloth and ignorance. Yeshua is full of the meaning of his birth and purpose, it means Yehova Saves.

It is fitting of course that catholics would call him something other than his name, since they have no relationship whatsoever with him or his Father.

that is precious since without Catholicism you wouldn't even know that He existed....think about it!!

he was a rabble-rousing son of a carpenter living in an obscure town in the middle east and was executed for being a troublemaker....

and you would have heard of Him.....how??
