That's not the worst thing they did.

Ask yourself: why did the Holocaust happen exactly? Who is responsible for almost all antisemitism, from past to present?

That's a bit of a stretch don't you think. I don't like the church either but saying they're responsible for the Holocaust is quite a leap lmfao

Not directly, no.

But would you mind exlaining to me why the Nazi's social darwinism heavily focused on Jews?What's the root cause of antisemitism?

I can answer it: the church's centuries of antisemitism. There's a reason antisemitism was this extremely widespread in Europe.

Antisemitism was prevalent long before the Catholic Church, and was prevalent outside of the church. Unfortunately it's one of those things that is just shitty behavior, and not exclusively a shitty church thing
