Thanks for posting, @RyanTAnd. Years ago (before I began dying my hair gray😆) Iwas a panelist at a forum we had at Princeton on the question "Who killed Christ?" Incorrect answers to that question have caused grave wrongs and injustices. It's very important to get it right. https://t.co/4rTHhruBbg

None at all -- in order to avoid putting the blame on anyone, and everyone else who could be blamed is ignored as well, the blame is put on one's self. Would any of us have crucified Christ if we had been there? Maybe not. The Apostles wouldn't have, and certainly the Theotokos wouldn't have. So this sort of casual, almost a feel-good statement in a perverse way, that "I" would have murdered Christ is just wrong. Christ did die so that we may be saved, but that does not entail that we are all equally culpable for murder. But Latin appeasers have to say this in order to avoid assessing historical blame and to make nice with certain non-Christians.
