No, the religion of the Israelites is not Judaism. That religion was all a prefiguring of the Catholic faith. Judaism is founded after Catholicism.
Amen. Judaism was founded as a resistance to Catholicism. There is nothing good to say about it.
There may be some misguided souls who think that Judaism is OK, but no matter where they reside in the Church, they are wrong. Judaism might as well be devil-worship.
