A quote from Pope Pius IX explained.
Anti-Catholic pagans often bring this quote up against Catholics, as 'evidence' Catholicism is controlled opposition to Jewry.
1) Yes, Catholics do not hate Jews on a racial basis. So what?
2) The quote understood below:
Conclusion:
“We cannot find in Pius XI any allegiance to the Jewish people or to the Talmudic religion."
Section C), 1-B, para 3
Here is some impotant background context to keep in mind as well:
"But why are Popes forced to use different methods?
They felt compelled to protect the Jews, because the people sought to free themselves from Jewish oppression through violence and murder.
And why did people resort to these extreme measures?
Because they had not followed the Church's prescriptions to keep the Jews away from power and to have as little to do with them as possible.
The Church has never changed in its teaching. The papal policy toward the Jews, despite apparent divergences, is remarkably uniform.
The Church has always respected the Jews as individuals, it has authorized their worship, but it has kept them away from power to prevent them from harming Christians and Christianity; it has simply ordered defensive measures." Monsignor Delassus very happily summarizes the rule that inspires the Church's legislation towards the Jews: "They must be allowed to live in safety, but Christians must be prevented from falling into their power"[1]. Abbot Joseph Lémann defines the Church's attitude thus:
«Full of respect, compassion and mercy, but also circumspect and prudent» [2] (…)"

"Christian anti-semitism has proved infinitely more harmful than that of pagan anti-Semitism."

Maimonides calls Jesus a false messiah and says Christianity is the greatest stumbling block to the Jews because Christians worship a different God
paras 11-12

"In spite of the fact that Jesus, on His mother’s side, was blood-related with the ancient Hebrew people of Biblical times, it is evident that for the future He only recognised the spiritual relationship, in that He looked over and beyond the blood-related links with His relatives, and, with even more justice, beyond those with the Jewish people who rejected Him as the Messiah, denied Him, martyred Him and murdered Him after a long and cruel torture, committing the most monstrous crime of all time and transforming itself into the God-murdering people.
But if Christ called the Jews, who slandered Him, children of the devil and generation of vipers, He confirmed that He is God’s Son and allows it to be discerned that no kind of relationship binds Him with the Jews, that indeed none can exist between God’s Son and the children of Satan, nor can a connection exist between good and evil.
The thesis that the “Synagogue of Satan”, i.e. modern Jewry, had given Christ His blood and therefore must not be combated, is therefore completely false and even heretical. If this most disgraceful thesis were true, neither Christ Himself, nor His apostles, nor many saints, the Councils and the Popes, would have combated it.
It is foolish to equate with the later Jews the original Hebrew people, in which Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, the most Holy Virgin Mary and the Apostles are included, who received the divine privilege of being the chosen people of the Lord. The later Jews violated the condition laid upon them by God of being the chosen people, and therefore deserved, on account of their crimes, their rebelliousness and misdeeds, the title of “Synagogue of Satan.”
