The point was that historically the RCC from highest levels on down has not consistently been all that much of a friend to Jewry, and at times very much a Jew's persecutor.

I find Protestantism's standard defense of it's historical and persistent antisemitism is that it is always someone else's fault and I'm not persuaded that is the case.

Some may engage in that sort of projection (of their own faults upon others) but by and large they can hardly hold a candle to what occurred within Roman Catholicism for long centuries.

And now here it seemed to myself that you had been engaging in "projecting" antisemitism onto "protestants" while failing to recognize what there was of that commonly enough among [Roman] Catholics!

Just wowza' man. The pointing finger has multiple friends curled back pointing towards it's master.

I find the gist of your argument undermines the legitimacy of Protestantism on two fronts
1. It acknowledges Catholicism is, essentially, visible Christianity for 15 long centuries.
2. It acknowledges Protestantism was, and presumably still is at least in chunks, antiSemitic, ignoring the experience of Jewry under predominately Protestant Germany in the Holocaust.

This line of argument reminds me of the proverbial man who said he never beats his wife, and if she dares to say otherwise he will really beat her bloody.
