...to drive the false converts out.

That's not exactly correct. 'False converts' were killed, ordinary Jews were forced out.

Yes, the Jews were expelled from Spain in 17c., but not by the Church. The issue here is the desire of the Church (including the likely Protestants who sent the New Testaments to that dolt) that the Jews should convert. This desire is natural to any religion, and so long as it is done by persuasion, — such as preaching or sending literature,— may not, in justice, be outlawed, let alone having stupid tantrums about it in what is supposed to be a lawmaking institution.
