Not in ecclesiastical law it doesn’t. Find me a pair of Jews, Protestants, or even Orthodox and try to get a case heard before a Catholic marriage tribunal.

No Jew can be charged or convicted of heresy. Only a Catholic can. That is just how ecclesiastical law has always worked.

Right here, in black and white from a scholar who works in this field:

“Contrary to general myth, the Inquisition never had any specific jurisdiction over Jews”

Catholicism does not recognize a marriage that is not done by a Catholics priest as valid.

That means they consider everyone not married as Catholics by a Catholic priest to be living in sin.

Not to mention the claim that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church. They are claiming to be the sole means by which people can get to heaven.

Both those things are claiming jurisdiction over everyone on the planet.
