I thought the Vatican denied saying that and slammed the movie-people for
claiming otherwise? I could be wrong.
My mother--a devote Roman Catholic--made some off-hand comment about the
Jews killing Jesus last time I was visiting. This offended my partially
Jewish GF. When she was growing up, it was apparently the teaching of the
(Roman Catholic) church that the Jews killed Jesus.
I don't remember that from my upbringing, however in the memories of
childhood that I'm not blocking I do remember Pilate being painted as a guy
who wanted to let Jesus go.
On a semi-unrelated note, in the scrapbook section of the Prehistory of
the Far Side there is a doodle of "Jesus rising from the grave." It shows
the tomb in the background and Jesus standing over a skillet / drinking
coffee. The thought bubble is "Man, I wonder what time it is; feels like
I've been dead for three days."
