“Jews are described in SSPX documents as being cursed by God for the sin of deicide” (killing Jesus), the ADL says in an online report.

They are wrong, I submit that it was God’s plan to be sacrificed or else our salvation would not be attained. There is no blame Jews, Romans, and Judas were doing what they were foretold to do to ensure our life.

Not so fast there Pilgrim.

Matthew 18:7 reads:
Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

I'm not anti-Semitic and I don't subscribe to the idea that Jews are cursed, but let's not overstate our case.

The SSPX people are heretical and schismatic. From a canonical point of view, the only part you can take seriously is the "X".

As for the Catholic view of Jesus' death: in the Nicene Creed, recited by all Catholics at every Sunday Mass since 325 AD, the only human implicated by name is the Roman governor ("...suffered under Pontius Pilate...")

From a theological point of view, the whole human race is responsible for His death, since our sins (individually and collectively) required so great a Savior. In a sense, the Jews --- as always --- represent the whole world as a kind of microcosm:

"He came unto His own, and His own received Him not."

That's all of us.
