They did publish anti-Jewish material (past tense). All anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish articles released by the Vatican ceased after Krystallnacht (November 1938). The Vatican was not amoral enough to pretend that there wasn't a link between encouraging anti-Semitic sentiments and its physical expression by some and its tacit approval by others. On his accession Pope John XXIII began the reconciliation of the Catholic Church and Jews which included the expunging from the Good Friday liturgy the prayer for the 'perfidious Jews'. Pope John Paul II furthered the reconciliation when he apologised for the errors and acts of omission and commission (which also included crimes committed by the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades) with statements such as 'We are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer, and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood with the people of the Covenant.'
