What is supersessionism?
Robert Sungenis defines supersessionism as the Catholic doctrine that the Mosaic covenant ended and was replaced by the New Covenant in Christ. He holds that dual-covenant theology, which teaches Jews remain saved under the Mosaic Law, is false, and notes that the 2006 US Catechism edition calling the Mosaic covenant eternally valid was corrected in 2008 after Vatican review and CDF approval in 2009.

Answer
Supersessionism is the Catholic doctrine that the Mosaic covenant ended and was replaced by the New Covenant in Christ. Dual-covenant theology, which teaches that Jews remain saved under the Mosaic Law, is false. Attempts in modern Catholicism (for example, the 2006 U.S. Catechism edition) to teach that the Mosaic covenant is “eternally valid” were corrected in 2008 after Vatican review and approval by the CDF in 2009.
