Look, I don't know what your game is, but I have already said that my Church teaches that there is no collective responsibility of the Jewish people, either at the time or later, for the death of Jesus. Therefore, you do not have to worry that I am about to go out and start a pogrom. Therefore, you don't need to try and falsify history to show that no Jews were implicated in Jesus' death. They were, and for quite understandable reasons, he challenged their religious beliefs. So there is no need to get upset about it. It would be a legitimate criticism to say that not enough people are aware of the Nostra Aetate declaration, but it is not necessary to try and falsify history and deny any involvement by individual Jews in the death of Jesus. They are two separate issues, and it is unfair to label someone who adheres to the accuracy of the Gospel story without more as anti-Semitic.

I am grateful for that. Do you know which Church taught contrary to that during the time of the Crusades ?
