Catholicism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Judaism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Judaism or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Judaism -more wide "christianity" did claim "the Jews murdered jesus"...
For that matter "antisemitism" is a form of "crowd management"...going back at least 2300 years-before christianity even started.
A "power elite" often used religious claims "an order given by "the gods" -to defend their own privilaged situation-and to justify injustice for the rest...
"Problems" were not in "the social order" (god given...so above any question)...so blame "people who were different"...
