Focuses on Catechism to reveal the emphasis on Jesus within the context of the Jewish people
no collective Jewish guilt p.42-43
Christian sin crucifies Jesus [Council of Trent] p. 43

“The New Covenant” (essay title)

focus on the meaning of ‘testament’ or ‘covenant’
the ‘fulness of the covenant in Christ’ does not diminish the Sinai covenant p. 59-60
