In fact, the Church of Rome preaches the Jewish religion. The sole point of difference is that Church of Rome teaches that Jesus was the Messiah; anointed by God, the King of Israel who will reunite Jewish tribes and usher in the messianic age of peace.

Jews refute that Jesus was the Messiah, they still await the arrival of the Messiah. Judaism incurred the wrath of the Roman Empire by combining religious beliefs with blatant nationalism.

The Church of Rome then went out of it’s way to differentiate itself from Judism.  It entered endless convolutions, first to choose it’s preferred dogma and then to justify that choice. This lead to the almost incomrehensible considerations of the “nature of god” and “virgin birth”, “immaculate conception” and “assumption ( body and soul) into Heaven”. This convoluted theology/mystology is rejected by Orthodox Jews, as indeed it is by Cathars.
