'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

unya ang Katoliko modified version pud sa Jew?

In that case, all sects in Christianity are modified versions of Judaism. No question about that.

Christianity is differentiated from Judaism by one important "fact" ... the belief in Christ as the son of God. This belief is so central to Christianity that although it has it's roots in Judaism, it is distinctly separate from it.
