When a pope speaks it is out of two sides of his mouth. Listen to what he says carefully. That is the reason the pope usually has very little to say and keeps it simple.

The Catholic Church officially teaches:
Neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time, nor Jews today, can be charged with the crimes committed during the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or accursed as if this followed from Holy Scripture.
When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God.
The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant.
To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."
With love in Christ.

Abraham left the city of Ur (Iraq) as the Babylonian didn't like that new religion and threatened them, later on they came to what is now called Palestine with some guy named Moses and they kept the same religion or so they claimed (one omnipresent & unseen God) and plenty of prophets. To me it seems J.C. was just another prophet and he was Jewish. While plenty of the people hated Roman rule they obeyed the established priesthood supported by the Romans and Jesus was threatening their lively hood so they had him crucified.
To be a Jew one's mother had to be Jewish for the followers of J.C. anybody who embraced the religion was admitted.
70 years after his birth the Romans crushed the last rebellion and destroyed most of Jerusalem, 325 years later yet the Christians started to destroy the Roman empire...
The Roman Catholics appropriated J.C. as a victim of the Jewish clergy forgetting he was Jewish himself and it helped abused the Jews steal their property 't was very good for the crusades till it went a little bit too far with the nazis, also more and more people are getting conscious of these antisemite attitudes and less are accepting them so the pope had to say something about it or loose his credibility.

Not necessarily. This is his public face that you are referring to. This all sounds like the Pope trying to be conciliatory with the Jews for PR. I doubt if the Jews even care if has done this. They say it was the Romans who executed Jesus for political reasons.

Excuse me, but doesn't Christianity teach that everyone nailed Christ to the cross? So, who did what? I don't get the question?
