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.

I don't find it to be a problem as it is true for others denominations of Christianity, the Noahides and the Muslim religion as well. If we are doing our job, then yes there should be a connection.

If we were meant to teach, and you see yourselves as students and then teachers yourselves, then that is a good thing. Of course some of the teachings may differ and we aren't in agreement with, but the overall do good for mankind message is a positive one.

Remember, what I have said isn't me speaking, it's what G-d says in the Hebrew bible.

And in the Hebrew bible G-d does say the Jewish people are different from the gentile nations. Again not that we are better as He never says that, just that we were chosen to let the world know of G-d's ways.
