She sadly misses the point, though Benedict XVI has hutzpah-- he doesn't really believe that Jesus is G-d.
"I’m confused about what the jews were doing for those 3000 years before Jesus was born. I mean, if we agree that the God of Abraham is Jesus’ dad, then… God didn’t arrive with Jesus."
Firstly, Jews were stuck keeping a Torah that involved discrimination and breaking donkeys' necks when we couldn't kill lambs-- see D'varim 23:1-8 and Shemot 13. Romans 7:4-25 explains the purpose of Torah and that Jesus brought yeshuat v'kippur that was based on better than Torah. So, Jesus brought yeshuat v'kippur based on chen v'rachamim.
Secondly, Yeshua brought the fulfillment of Vayikra 17:11:
"‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’"
By the way, this is why the following is figurative, which proves that Non-Evangelical Catholicism and the doctrine of transubstantiation are pure kefirot:
"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said,“Take, eat; this is My body.”
"Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”"
Thirdly, Yeshua brought more than I can name here.
In conclusion, Yeshua brought chofesh m'Torah l'Moshe, yeshuat v'kippur based on chen v'rachamim, and fulfillment much of Tanakh, among other things.
