You have a penchant for asking some of the stupidest questions, twisting things into duplicities that do not exist so that you can attack the magic thinking you've enjoined. The Passover Seder is a Jewish celebration. During the 'church age' --that period of time during which God declares there is neither Jew not gentile-- male nor female ? ...

It seems to me you really do not have a good answer. Let's go with church age though as that seems closest. I see one plausible explanation. The one holy catholic apostolic church bound that the Body and Blood be celebrated and memorialized daily in the Mass rather than annually in the Passover Seder.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew, Catholic chapter sixteen, Protestant verses eighteen to nineteen,
As authorized, but not authored. by King James

... we acknowledge that we are incapable of keeping the Law the Jewish celebrations amplify.

Okay, the Law exposes sin. A Protestant who rejects the Real Presence in Orthodox Christianity could still keep the Passover annually as an everlasting memorial or is one forbidden to protest by his denomination, sect, or pastor ? Do you think Christians are part of the commonwealth of Israel or not ?

REALLY?

Daily versus annually??

Did the early Catholics have such a POOR attention span that the ritual had to done DAILY or they'd FORGET?

You asked, "Do you think Christians are part of the commonwealth of Israel or not ?"

Unfortunately, for my answer to make sense I would use metaphor and simile, citing how We are grafted into the vine, the fruit tree; we Christians are grafted onto the vine from which life flows, as life flows from God The Father Almighty.

On such a vine, as fruit born on the good tree, I would cite The Jews who looked forward to the coming Messiah -Old Testament Saints. And I would call we Christians grafted fruit indeed -New Testament Saints. I might even point tot he Saints who will come out of the Tribulation -Tribulation Saints. I would also call attention to The Bride of Christ as drawing Life from the Life in the vine. I might even cite Paul's teaching on how gentiles are grafted onto the Tree of Israel, and our being by faith sons of Abraham.

But alas, since catholic apologists have little grasp of metaphor and simile, and cannot draw full sustenance from the Parables of Jesus, I will not do that, though there are so many more ways to explain such a simple gaining of Life from the source of Life, through Whom and by Whom were all things made that were made, and has shown us His ongoing plan as dispensations of His Grace expressed in different dispensation ages.

So, sorry, I cannot help you further.
