The Catholic Church and Christians in general believe that the Jews were chosen, but that Christians are the fulfillment of that choice. Christians believe that in order to be saved, one must accept Jesus as their savior. The current Jews are those who have not accepted Jesus as their savior.
Well, you have the floridly anti-Semitic doctrine down perfectly...
The question being whether, in your previous life, you were actually a Nazi or not.
Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people to justify new "settlements" in Jerusalem or territorial claims, a Vatican synod on the Middle East said on Saturday.

The offspring of Abraham were God's chosen people.

To say that it's anti-semitic is to say that Christianity itself is anti-semitic.
The Catholic Church was expressing disagreement with any religious group that derives things from scripture by calling themselves special or chosen and using it to assert dominion over land occupied by other groups not sharing those religious beliefs-- in other words, using phrases derived from scripture to justify an injustice.

I understand what you are saying.
The term for it is "Naziism".
I recommend that you do some additional research before falsely labeling people
Stop LYING.
I did not label you anything.
I described the religious doctrines you referred to with the term "Naziism".
It is a conceptual assessment of those religious doctrines.

No where in the Quran does it say the Jews are God's chosen people

You have to read the entire article.
In the article, the Roman church denies that there is any such thing as the "Chosen people".
The "Chosen people" is a Revelation received by Moses, Isaiah, etc. etc. etc. and validated by Jesus in the Gospels, as well as Mohammed in the Quran.
Contradicting a Revelation is, by definition, Satanic.

Then the copy of the Quran that you have is probably one of those published by the government of Saudi Arabia, or any one of a number of other floridly anti-Semitic versions, and specifically edited so as to twist or deny those Revelations.

Good job sensationalizing your post. when Nazi Germany instituted the Final Solution didn't they try to exterminate all Jews? And the Catholic Church claimed we need to exterminate all the Jews where in the article you posted??

No that’s not the case.
The Quran acknowledges the revelation to what it calls “the People of the Book”
That is those given the TORAH and those given the Injel or Gospel
It does say that God bestowed favors on the Children of Israel but not as a specific cosmic chosen race or people.
