Mr. McDade doesn’t seem to understand Catholic Christianity in general, replacement theology, or Nostra Aetate.
Of course the covenant was not “revoked”. It was broken by the Jews when they rejected God in the person of Christ. God will fulfill His part of the covenant when the Jews fulfill theirs and convert to Catholic Christianity.
God cannot withraw his love for Israel or, for that matter, for anyone else. God is love.
Pretty arrogant. mmm..Annalex, I wonder what your qualifications are to make such a statement. Mr. McDade seems to me to be competent to at least quote John Paul II correctly. I include his bio so you can compare your own against it. Perhaps I have met a true scholar rather than this duffer.. McDade.....
John McDade is a Jesuit priest. He studied Modern Languages at Oxford and theology at Heythrop. After teaching in secondary school, he did his doctorate at the University of Edinburgh on the interpretation of pre-existence language in Christology, using Paul Ricoeur’s theory of metaphor as an interpretative category. He has taught Systematic Theology at Heythrop since 1985, focusing on the main areas of God, Christ and Salvation. During his teaching, he became interested in the new theology of Christian-Jewish Relations and its impact on Christian theology. He is responsible for developing the Diploma in Christian-Jewish Relations and the MA in Contemporary Theology in the Catholic Tradition. For 9 years (1986-1995) he was Editor of The Month, a Review of Christian Thought and World Affairs, and wrote extensively during that time on a range of issues affecting Christian faith and the modern world and on contemporary cinema. He is President of the Catholic Theological Association of Great Britain (1999-2005).
