You apparently don't understand what you're reading, regarding “Replacement Theology,” Judith Anne. Could it be, that you got drawn in by the headline and content because it condemns a Protestant denomination, but failed to realize that the same belief has been present in your own church for a very long time? You see evidence of it even recently on FR, whenever eschatology is discussed.

Has your church not claimed that it is the New Israel, the New Jerusalem? Such belief is historically identified strongly with Catholicism, tracing to church fathers such as St. Augustine and Tertullian, as it does. Origen, too.

Exactly!

Treading on the limit line of mind-reading there? How does replacement theology justify anti-Semitism? That's what the article is about. Not replacement theology. ANTI-SEMITISM. Replacement theology is disconnected from any flesh and blood, it's a CONCEPT. Anti-Semitism gets people killed. I could care less about what areas of agreement Catholics and Presbyterians have. And this is not about Catholics, is it? It's about Presbyterians using flowery language to justify mistreating people. Whatever flavor Presbyterians they ate, they are Presbyterians. By name. Do they agree with all sects of Presbyterians on their theological justification of anti-Semitism? I don't know. Which Presbyterians aren't anti-Semitic? Which one are you? I suspect I may know.
