[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Jew who joins the Catholic Church is still Jewish.  Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) was specifically killed by the Nazis because she was a Catholic Jew (Hebrew Catholic) as were many other Catholic Jews/Hebrew Catholics.  A Catholic Jew/Hebrew Catholic can still celebrate Sukkot (remembering the fleeting nature of this life and to honor G-d for taking ancestors out of the desert), Hanukkah (a holiday that is part of the Catholic Bible (1 and 2 Maccabees and John 10:22 (the Festival of Dedication)) and involves celebrating G-d's protecting the Jewish people), Tu B'Shvat (Earth Day), Purim (G-d's protecting the Jewish people), Passover (G-d's liberation of the Jewish people from slavery but with modifications to the seder), Shavuot (receiving the Ten Commandments), Rosh Hashanah (start of the Jewish calendar), and even Yom Kipppur (as a modified Day of Atonement perhaps with confession and a somber day of prayer).  Similarly, Shabbat - to honor G-d for creating the World.

[b]To the extent the posters here are representative of the larger Jewish community, that the majority of traditionally observant Jews think it is weird or are uncomfortable with the idea of a Catholic Jew/Hebrew Catholic doesn't mean they are correct. [/b]
What matters is whether it is okay in G-d's eyes.  What is wrong with any of the above?[/quote]

Right. Because definitions of who belongs in a group should always be set by those at its fringes with minimal knowledge and weak affiliation. I mean, who needs a core when you have a noisy periphery?[/quote]
