The tyrannical persecution did not happen in Rome, where the Church would have no temporal difficulty. Why did it not happen in Rome?As to not sully the Holy See with blood.
The rest of Europe was bloody enough. Orders were given from the Vatican.

As to not sully the Holy See with blood. Seriously, they could just move the Jews to some place outside of the city and kill them there.

The former is not completely correct. What are the origins of the Inquisition? it dates to the 8th century and the Moslem conquest of Spain. It took the Spanish 700 years to boot the Moslem rulers out. But even after that, there were moslems still in Spain.
the converts were also suspected of being closet Moslems and that removal was the aim of the Inquisition.
