the Catholic Church has always been accustomed to pray for the Jewish people, who were the depository of divine promises up until the arrival of Jesus Christ, notwithstanding their subsequent blindness, or rather, because of this very blindness. Moved by that charity, the Apostolic See has protected the same people from unjust ill-treatment, and just as it censures all hatred and enmity among people, so it altogether condemns in the highest degree possible hatred against the people once chosen by God, viz., the hatred that now is what is usually meant in common parlance by the term known generally as anti-Semitism.
Those who believe that the Jewish people are no longer the Chosen People are actually Catholic. They believe what the Catholic Church has always taught. They are not anti-Semitic unless one believes that pre-Vatican II Catholic teaching is anti-Semitic. Pope Pius IX proves that it is not because in his quote above he shows that one can believe that the Jews are no longer the Chosen People and still condemn hatred for them.
To suggest that anyone who proclaims Church teaching as it was always taught as an anti-Semite is a lie and lacks charity towards one's neighbor.

False; Pope Pius IX has not denied Vatican II, Nostra Aetate, which is binding on every Catholic.

I certainly lack charity towards Martin Luther; to pray or not to pray ...
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
