No, I don’t follow Replacement Theology and neither does the Church.

The promises to Israel are still the same promises, but we are now partakers of those promises in that Jesus fulfilled them and opened the gates to all, Jews and Gentiles alike.

Jesus is the New and Everlasting Covenant, exactly as He said.

I think you need to study up on what the RCC actually says Jevette.

“The Catholic Church is Israel.” [http://catholicknight.blogspot.com/2011/01/catholic-church-is-israel.html]

Catholics acknowledge that the Church is spiritual Israel or, in Catholic parlance, the "new Israel" (cf. CCC 877)

877 Likewise, it belongs to the sacramental nature of ecclesial ministry that it have a collegial character. In fact, from the beginning of his ministry, the Lord Jesus instituted the Twelve as "the seeds of the new Israel and the beginning of the sacred hierarchy." Chosen together, they were also sent out together, and their fraternal unity would be at the service of the fraternal communion of all the faithful: they would reflect and witness to the communion of the divine persons. For this reason every bishop exercises his ministry from within the episcopal college, in communion with the bishop of Rome, the successor of St. Peter and head of the college. So also priests exercise their ministry from within the presbyterium of the diocese, under the direction of their bishop. [http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/877.htm]

The CC most certainly thinks they have replaced Israel.

Your religion most certainly does...

The promises to Israel are still the same promises, but we are now partakers of those promises in that Jesus fulfilled them and opened the gates to all, Jews and Gentiles alike.

The promises to Israel have NOT been fulfilled...
