Jew killing was sanctioned by the Church, since "Jews killed Jesus so we can kill Jews" in their minds. Even into the 19th Century, the prejudice against Jews prevented them from having decent jobs (e.g in Prussia, Jews weren't allowed to be lawyers, or have any kind of government job).
It's weird how they say Jesus needed to die for our sins, but they hated the Jews for killing him. They should be thanking the Jews. Though we're also supposed to hate Judas, even though he played a crucial role too. Did the guy have to die or not? If not, why did he?
Or, the being that created sin in the first place, then sent his son/himself down to die so it could be removed, could have just removed it without all the extra hassle, and centuries of waiting. Seems like it would have been much easier that way
