This supercessionist mindset rankles us "Jewish Jews", who feel quite complete as we are.

Catholic Discussion Ping!

This article does not really offer much to discuss.

When I saw the subject heading, I expected an essay exploring in depth this fascinating topic.

I was very disappointed to discover that it was only a short news story reporting that somebody somewhere had spoken to some breakfast club on the topic, with a few vague brief glosses from the lecture.
