Hey, that’s mighty white of him! So glad now that we have the Official word of God on the subject!

Grow up. The Pope, as well as everybody else, knows the Jews as a whole weren’t “responsible” for this (the Romans actually did it, although the Jewish priests agitated for it), and this is just a formal statement to make sure that this charge, the blood libel, cannot be levied with any semblance of formal approval from anywhere.
People who are ignorant of European history (or just plain ignorant) probably don’t understand the signifance of this, however.
Why don’t you go after the Muslims, whose scriptures include specific instructions on how to find and kill Jews? Maybe some ayatollah will come out and say it was all a mistake? Tell me when that happens. Snicker.
I thought Rome executed him. Jewish law didn’t allow for the execution.
You beat me to it.
