As a former catholic who is fairly sensitive (and allergic to) all things catholic, I'm puzzled by your response. I thought this teaching refuted much of what Catholicism taught in that he showed the Bible is one story about God "calling out" a people for His name from among the descendants of Abraham.
WE are the Israel of God. He just didn't take it the last step in his logical progression to show that the multitude called out from among the nations are no doubt the scattered Israelites drawn by the Father to Jesus.This fulfills the promise to Abraham that he would literally father a "multitude of nations." Jesus is the promised seed of Abraham who inherits (Gal. 3:16). And in him we are revealed to be the chosen seed, also. Catholicism wants to wipe out all things related to Abraham's family.

Not sure but I took it to mean catholic as in "universal".
