I feel obliged to protest the use of the term "catholic" in this
context ... it isn't that the Roman church didn't do more than its 
share of persecution of Jews, but that other churches (including 
the Orthodox churches and many of the early Protestant churches) 
were equally guilty of this, and that some Protestant sects to this
day teach that the Jews are "Christ-killers" when the Catholic church
has clearly renounced such teachings. So my protest is not against
the basic idea, only the singling out of Catholicism.
