Suppersessionism

And, of course, we have the very words of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, a supersessionist:

"The Sinai covenant," writes Cardinal Ratzinger, "is indeed superseded. But once what was provisional in it has been swept away we see what is truly definitive in it. The New Covenant, which becomes clearer and clearer as the history of Israel unfolds.., fulfills the dynamic expectation found in [the Sinai covenant]." (pp. 70-71) And in another formulation, "All cultic ordinances of the Old Testament are seen to be taken up into [Jesus'] death and brought to their deepest meaning .... The universalizing of the Torah by Jesus...preserves the unity of cult and ethos The entire cult is bound together in the Cross, indeed, for the first time has become fully real." Cardinal Ratzinger, then, who has also declared that despite Israel's special mission at this stage of history, "we wait for the instant in which Israel will say yes to Christ," (National Catholic Reporter, Oct. 6, 2000), is a supersessionist.
Popes, Prelates, and Priests are pastors of souls and they ought to strive to support the Faith of those who have the Faith once delivered and to convert to the faith those men - Jews in this instance - who reject the New Covenant.

Now. of course, the dialogue with those who reject Jesus as Messias will suffer because truth but us Catholic normies ought also be concerned with Popes, Prelates,and Priests who will not speak truth to Jewish power for by refusing to do that they are culpable for not following the commandments of Christ. (One way we show we love Him).

1 Corinth 9:16 Woe to me if I do not preach the truth

In the last sad wasted time of fifty plus years, how many times have Popes, Prelates, and Priests entered a synagogue and not peached the Gospel?

Who knows the exact number we know the number of times they have never preached the Gospel there - zero. 

Catholic Popes and Prelates never preach the Gospel to the Jews in a Synagogue because everyone knows - everyone - that if they preach the Gospel to the Jews that would put an immediate end to the dialogue, the many meetings, the photo ops etc and the anthropocentric oriented shadow church is more interested in the policticised process of dialogue than truth.

But why is that as problem?  

Because, as  The Great Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide says that  Woe to me... means it is a mortal sin not to preach the Gospel.

It is sad that so many Jews have been led down the path to perdition by our refusal to speak truth to their power and that is especially true when one reads The Acts of The Apostles and understands what the Apostles did when they went to Synagogues and individual homes of the Jews who rejected The Messias and preached the Gospel to them.

Substituting dialogue for truth and severing the continuity between what the Apostles did in telling the truth to the Jews and what our Bishops (yes, including the Bishop or Rome) do in not telling the truth to the Jews is gonna be awfully difficult to shoehorn into any idea of a hermeneutic of continuity.
