Au contraire:

>>247. We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” (Rom 11:29). The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity (cf. Rom 11:16-18). As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thes 1:9). With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word.<<Evangelii Gaudium

Please “bold” or “underline” any sentence in that quoted paragraph, that’s false.

The Covenant with the Jews wasn’t “revoked”; it was FULFILLED when Christ suffered, died, and resurrected. The Catholic Church has ALWAYS taught that we are saved by the grace of Christ ALONE, not through faith alone and not by works alone. Jews need Jesus as much as anyone else does, and the idea that they have some sort of sacred DNA is racist. The Pope, who is NOT speaking ex-cathedra, or infallibly, here is w-r-o-n-g. Plain and simple wrong. Catholic are to spread the Gospel to ALL.
