I’m frightened to think of how they treat our Jewish friends

Starting with the Inquisition all the way to Pope Pius in WWII, it hasn't been pretty.

Pehaps you should study more about the pope and WWII. Referencing the Inquisition is in fact no different than blacks referencing slavery every time there are modern day problems. Jews and Catholics get along quite well. In fact, my husband’s family is half and half. My Christian children love celebrating Hannukah with their Jewish cousins! I used to manage a local swimming pool and we collaborated often with a local Jewish center in terms of lifeguard, swim instructor, and water exercize instructor certification. All of the blended families were Catholic/Jewish. There were no Protestant blends. This is of course anecdotal, but it brought up very facinating and informative conversations with their patrons. It was an amazing learning experience that has actually led me to teach Holocaust courses at our community college. My experience with the Jewish center certainly was life changing! We’ve managed to get over the Inquisition. It’s a shame some Protestants have yet to move on from the Reformation. Perhaps you could blame Bush as well?
