I was thinking about this phenomenon too. The Catholic Church removed a line about the “perfidiousness of the Jews” from the Good Friday liturgy after Vatican II and has replaced it with far more conciliatory language that no longer accuses the Jews of faithlessness. I think the Anglicans have had the same conversations in the 20th and 21st centuries. I wonder if the removal of this language somehow obfuscates the history of Christians and Jews, and I wonder if there is a way to problematize this history without erasing it.
