Catholicism Vs. Judaism
Here's the dirt on how these objects relate to one another:
Catholicism is a direct descendant of Judaism. Jesus basically hijacked the Jewish holy writings, claiming to be the savior prophesied in the Torah. After his martyrdom, he left a cult of radical devotees. At first, they lived in hiding, but eventually the religion was co-opted by the Roman Empire (who wasted no time twisting it to fit their own agenda). This led to the establishment of the Papacy and Catholicism in general.
The biggest difference between Judaism and Catholicism is the differing opinion about the Jewish savior. Catholics believe that the prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus, whereas Judaism holds that the savior has not yet come. Catholics worship Jesus and his mother Mary, whereas Jews worship God directly.
There is a large overlap between the two religions' holy literature.
