Debunking Replacement theology?

[CurlySmirly]

The Catholic teaching on Replacement theology, or Superseccionism, is that the Old Covenant has not been revoked by God and that the Jews have not been “replaced” by the gentiles, but rather, quoting St. Paul, “the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29) and God still holds the Jews in regard.

How can I understand this teaching in light of the parables which seem to suggest that the Jews have been punished or cast out for their disobedience? I’m thinking particularly of the Parable of the Bad Tenants (Matthew 21 & Luke 20). In the parable, when the disobedient tenants kill the Landlord’s son, Jesus says:
What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.”

Well, I would say that this is clearly an admonishment to all of us, lest us not believe that we can be “assured” of our salvation like many would try to preach. I trust St. Paul. He knows Jesus and many Jews did convert, the Church was founded with Jews primarily and then extended to the whole world.
As for Covenants, they remain in place until all the requirements of them are fulfilled. Until the last descendant of the 12 tribes are finally joined to the root, I think the Old Covenant will remain in place for them.
The New Covenant would apply to the whole human race when all of us are converted to Jesus. Therefore making all previous Covenants superfluous. But that is just my own 2 cents. GOD may well have other ideas

Peace!

There is an ongoing thread on supersessionism that may be of interest to you :

Why is Supersessionism Offensive? Sacred Scripture

Cutting through the redirect of forced conversions, persecution of the Jews, or viewing Jews as intrinsically evil Christ killers which is totally stupid nonsense why is this view problematic? It seems the Church has a long standing view on differing opinions on this subject. I’m told that this is the conclusion of Vatican II but there again this is a subject like salvation for non-catholics that has varying opinions for last 2000 years. While Vatican II was an ecumenical council it did not d…

The OC hasn’t been revoked (it still must be fulfilled), but now made obsolete by a new and better covenant (Heb 8-:13). This is because the OC could not accomplish the goal that it was made for, while the NC can do so. By the NC the OC is fulfilled IOW.
