Katnut d'Katnut

David Moss, the President of the Association of Hebrew Catholics, has presented well, Father Elias Freidman's position on why he referred to us as Hebrew Catholics, rather than Jewish Catholics or Israelite Catholics. However, in his book Father Elias did not see the Old Covenant as irrevocable which included Law and Election but that only the Election was irrevocable. When he wrote his book this was still an open question until Pope John Paul II clearly stated that the Old Covenant was irrevocable and then put it in the Catechism. 

Father Elias did not see Rabbinic Judaism as having a positive role in the economy of salvation which would later be taught by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

Many Christians believe that all the rituals of Judaism and especially the Covenant with Moses are no longer relevant because they were a shadow of the New Covenant. They base this on their reading of Hebrews 10:1 in the New Testament.
