Ahh yes. But the guilty party, naturally, trans-historically, trans-generationally, and immutably in the eyes of the Followers of the "True Faith," is the Jew, from whom the Righteous have always been more than pleased to borrow.

The great Catholic churches of Paris, Madrid and a hundred other cities were after all built with the dollars of those guilty, guilty Jews - usually exiled at best, but often murdered, before the debts came due, in accordance with the true faith. This is a matter of historical record.

guilty Jews

Yes, the Jews dominated usury trade as their religion did not apply the prohibition on usury to usury against non-Jews, and they often suffered both for that and for sundry unjust reasons. However, to lend money for a church or some other public building is by definition not usury as the loan is productive, so your example does not apply.
