I'd have to look it up, but I do know that my mother and father (who grew up on the 19-teens) were taught that "the sinfulness of mankind" (i.e. everyone) was responsible for the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. The Nicene Creed mentions Pontius Pilate (not Jews) as the controlling legal/political authority, and Lenten preaching always focuses on the transgressions of the human race as the moral/spiritual reason.

I think you'll find plenty of support for that dogma in Roman Catholic theology through the millennia.

[plain talk]

maybe so but did he run that controlling legal authority stuff by algore?

Well I was taught the Jews killed Jesus ... but all this proves is the pope does not read his bible and he would know who killed Jesus

Act 2:22 ¶ Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
