The Relationship Between Judaism and Christianity

[Jude86]

I'm sorry, what is the specific question you are referring to?

So, the fact that Catholics see themselves as being so integrally connected to Judaism--do you find that to be a problem? There was a specific portion of a prayer that I cited that talks about the Hebrew children as "our forebearers" being led out of Egypt. There are other Catholic documents that refer to Judaism as the brother of Christianity and that refer to Jews as "our fathers in faith." If we Catholics don't see ourselves as being a totally different creature from Judaism, are we Catholics problematising the nature of the relationship between our two faiths by not recognising the "hard break" that I'm hearing being described here.
