In contrast to my previous post, immediately below, this one is only 2000 years late.
I mean, I know some people are slow learners, but this is ridiculous on any time scale.
See the detail here.

So is the Catholic Church going to pay us reparations for the 2000 years of looting, rapes and murders done by their command?
To say nothing of the harm done by the Orthodox Church, Russian branch, with their encouragement of all those pogroms.And Luther also has a lot to answer for as does Calvin...
Ah well, if pigs could fly...
Nice of him to say so, but they used to go together like jam and toast, and you know who was toast.
You bet.
Verily.
Well better late than never. These things take time, especially when you are dealing with an Italian bureaucracy like the Vatican! (satire)
Back in 1965 when the Vatican proclaimed that the Jews were no longer considered to be forever guilty of killing Jesus, the Jewish-American writer, Harry Golden wrote the Jews should now in turn forgive Christianity for two thousand years of persecution, massacres, progroms, ghettoes and the Holocaust!
Brian, I know that Martin Luther was a raving anti-Semitie, but John Calvin? I thought it was followers of Calvin in the Netherlands and the English Puritan dictator Cromwell who invited the Jews back into their countries?
For a lot of the Protestant churches, it is not anti-Semitism that has been the doctrine that has needed to be gotten rid of, but anti-Catholicism. It was not 1967 that, following a eight year review of church doctrine, that main Northern-based American Presbyterian group officially changed church doctrine to get rid of anti-Catholic parts such as the belief that the Pope was the agent on Earth of the anti-Christ!
In the USA, historically speaking, anti-Catholicism, not anti-Semitism that has been the belief of most American Protestants.
