You claim to be a Catholic but you do not know what Catholicism teaches. The canon of scripture the Catholics accept include the Jewish scriptures. Mary and Jesus were born Jews as were all of the apostles including Peter.. Jesus fulfilled hundreds of old testament (Jewish) prophecies proving his identity as the promised Savior - https://www.biblicalreliability.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Jesus-Christ-foretold-of-in-Old-Testament-Scripture.pdf

 

The Old Testament (Jewish) scriptures have continuity with the New Testament scriptures. Jesus quoted from them, so did Peter (who you wrongly claim as your first Pope) and those Jewish scriptures spoke of the coming King born of a virgin (Jesus Christ born of Mary - both Jews). That the God of the Jews is the God of the Christians is incontrovertible. I will give you a few examples:

 

Ephesians 2:19-20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone

 

Those prophets were the Jewish prophets who wrote the Old Testament, those apostles were chosen by Jesus from the Jews and Jesus himself was born into the Jewish religion. All through the scriptures, there is a rock, a cornerstone refereed to, who is Christ (not Peter). See also 1 Peter 2:4-8, Psalm 118:22, Matt. 21:42, 44-45, Acts 4:11, Luke 6:47-48.

 

Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone (Psalm 118:22). That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you (Jews) and given to a people who will produce fruit for it (Gentiles). The person who falls over this stone (Christ) will be broken to pieces, but it will crush anyone on whom it falls.

 

The Jews rejected their Messiah, though even Moses had declared him. In fact, Daniel had given the exact time of his arrival, when he would come as the promised seed who would ratify the covenant of faith with Abraham (Daniel 9:24-27). To this day, the Jewish people are kept in ignorance and forbidden to number the 70 weeks of Daniel (which prove who Christ is).

 

John 5:46-47 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?

 

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad. Then the Jews asked him, You are not even 50 years old, yet you have seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, before there was an Abraham, I AM!

 

Moses and Abraham wrote about Jesus as you can clearly see, and this is in the Catholic bible. Can't get much more Jewish than that.

 

1 Cor. 10: 1-4 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

 

Paul wrote that, as he said, to prevent ignorance. So that people would know that it was the pre-incarnate Christ who was the God of the Jews and who had led them through the wilderness. In fact, every old testament manifestation of God was Christ, no one has ever seen the father (John 6:46).

 

If you hate Jews, you hate Christ and Mary who were both born Jews, and it is Christ who is the God of the Jews (though they reject him) according to your own Catholic Bible. Stop the hatred. God is love, which is also in your Catholic bible.

 

1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

 

1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

 

You can hate systems and institutions that misrepresent God, hypocrites who twist the scriptures and use religious pretense as a shield to hide behind while they hurt little children. But love the people caught up in false systems who are just trying to find God and have been duped by the adepts who use religious pageantry and false teachings to blind them. Whether the system in question is Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, or some other system. We are told to worship God in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24) and what form of religion God the father advocates.

 

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
