“…as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs…”. Roman 11: 28

“This guilt [for the death of Christ] seems more enormous in us than in the Jews, since according to the testimony of the same Apostle: ‘If they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory’; while we, on the contrary, professing to know Him, yet denying Him by our actions, seem in some sort to lay violent hands on him.” — Art. IV. Second Part. — 1566 Catechism of the Council of Trent
