What is the mainstream opinion on Jews and their leaders among Traditional Catholics and the SSPX? Does anyone know Edward Fesers and Taylor Marshalls view?
 
And any conversion is a grace from God. My prayer is that Catholics who are baptized into Christ will have the grace of conversion, to live the promises of their baptism. Especially people like Governor Andrew Cuomo, Nancy Pelosi just to name a few who will be baptized Catholics in heaven or baptized Catholics in hell on the day of their particular judgment. All the baptized will have their ( our) moment of judgment. Yes, may we pray for our brothers and sisters who are Jewish that they get the gift of conversion, but may we beg God for all baptized Catholics that they live out their baptism.
 
Seriously, how is it possible, rationally, to have an ‘opinion on Jews’?
 
You’ve been asking about those gentlemen a lot.

Both gentleman you speak of have blogs, don’t they? Can’t you get ‘their view’ there??

Ditto on the SSPX. They have a web site. Please use it.

As for ‘Traditional Catholics’, they like any ‘other’ label you want to pin on Catholics view Jewish people the same way they view any other group --they’re PEOPLE. People like us. People whom God loves. Jesus was a Jewish carpenter. Christians are 'fulfilled Jews" in some points of view; the Jewish people are our older brothers and sisters, a covenant people, beloved by God.

Answer your question???
 
The term Traditional Catholics doesn’t make sense. It’s like calling someone a “biblical Catholic”.
Being a Catholic means commitment to Sacred Tradition, to the Bible, and obedience to the living Magisterium.

Omit one of those three, and we aren’t talking about Catholics anymore.

What is confusing? They are made in the image of God, just like the rest if us are. Their sincerely held beliefs to not make them enemies, just different.
We treat non-Christians and non-Catholic Christians with the same dignity and respect we do everyone else.
 
So do a lot of Christians I know, especially when it is inconvenient or does not mesh with their political leanings.

If mine counts, it’s that they should convert to Catholicism. That is all.

Which I believe is the same opinion towards all non-Catholics.

Mt 28:19-20 • 'Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. ‘Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.’

Yes but they reject the Gospel.

How many Jews living in the West today have ever heard the gospel, to have a chance to reject it?

That’s not how the term invincible ignorance has been used by the Church. Babies are invincibly ignorant. It would take some incredible twist of reality for anyone living in the west to not have heard of Jesus Christ.
 
When the second temple was destroyed Judism came to an end. Post second temple rabbitical judism is another man made religion.

I don’t subscribe to that particular theory. And it might well feel insulting to Jewish CAF members.
 
The theory that your theory is wrong.

I haven’t seen @meltzerboy2 around here recently but his comments on the subject are worthwhile:

How is it Judaism survived the destruction of the Temple? Non-Catholic Religions
It was not obligatory to go to the Temple even when there was a Temple! Many Jews lived too far away from the Temple, as well as being poor, which made traveling long distances prohibitive. So they established local synagogues in which Jews could worship. Besides this, as has been noted, Judaism is not dependent on either the Temple or synagogue. The home is a temple itself. When women light Friday night candles to welcome the Sabbath, the kitchen–indeed the entire home–becomes a sacred dwe…
