There cannot be a "corporate guilt", that is guilt in the Catholic sense of the term, of the Jєωιѕн people for only original sin is transmitted by natural generation. There cannot be a species of guilt we do not know of that is peculiar to the Jєωιѕн race and is perpetuated by descent.
All unbelievers have a hardened heart toward the Gospel, and perhaps this is more pronounced in the case of the Jєωs, for the Apostle says there is a veil on their eyes when Moses and the Prophets are read. But even this would arise from their own fault and not from some sort of "guilt", properly so called, passed down.
Moreover, the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was undoubtedly the visitation of divine Justice for the rejection of Christ, and moreover the promised sign of the Messiah's advent to all nations, according to Malachi, when God would receive no more the sacrifices of the Jєωs, but those of the Gentiles.
Still, it is plain that the Romans, the Gentiles, collaborated with the Jєωs. For, the Lord Himself said, "And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again. " (Mat 20:19)
The greatest errors formed by improper catechesis among many in the Church today are (1) That the Catholic Church is not the the new and true Israel (2) That the Old Covenant is somehow valid and efficacious for the Jєωs (3) That the Church need not proclaim Christ to the Jєωs.
On the contrary, Christ Himself told them most plainly that the Kingdom of God would be taken from them. St.Peter says they are cut off from Israel, and St.Paul adds that the Gentiles are grafted in, the children of the promise.
Still, I wonder if some times today, among those who know that Christ must be preached, whether it is sometimes done as the Apostle says, "out of envy and strife", rather than as the Apostles did, "speaking the truth in love"?
It was pure love that motivated the actions and preaching of the Apostle, for he even said, "For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh" (Rom 9:4) reminding us of Moses who pleaded with God for his people, just as Christ Himself, showing the great love of the Father, wept over that city, who, spurning His gracious and gentle advances, stoned the prophets and killed those who were sent.
May it also be so with us in our proclamation of Christ that we may speak and act with the mind of His Church. And, as a traditional prayer of the Church so beautifully expresses her all-encompassing love even in the face of their obstinacy and rebellion, Turn Thine eyes of mercy towards the children of that race, once Thy chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Saviour; may It now descend upon them, a laver of redemption and of life."
