And it also changes how the Church will view them from one of brothers to one of enemies.

Man, you are playing with fire...

Your Catholic church may view the Jews as enemies but God warns you against this...

The only reason you have been allowed the opportunity to become a Christian is to make the Jews jealous...

Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

Since the Resurrection the Jews have not rejected Jesus on their own...

Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.

Be ye not ignorant...

God is keeping the Jews away from Jesus...Calling the Jew your enemy is about the stupidest thing a Christian can do...

Gross over simplification and bad prooftexting. And you have also missed the entire point of that chapter in which Paul uses himself as an example of how God has remained faithful to the Jews. But, Paul of course is a Christian, and that is just what he is saying. God has kept a remnant "according to the election of grace" and Paul is one of them. And they are comparable to those who "who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal."

God is keeping the Jews away from Jesus...

Man, are you playing with fire...
