Not gonna happen. The Vatican is just another political world superpower vying for control. As their attendance started to slip they implement this Vatican II garbage and start embracing modernism, the only segment that would potentially be anti-Jewish (and its actually a smaller segment within this small segment) would be the traditional Catholics and they're shrinking by the day.
Our best bet are the Orthodox Christians in Russia right now

I remember seeing a doc where a Jew who was hidden by nuns during WWII, then reunited with his family by them, complains about the nuns. Because he got a Catholic education and at one point even wanted to be a priest. You see, nuns have a preference for Catholicism, not Judaism. He's really offended by that. I was slack-jawed, staring at the screen. They saved his life, even though they had religious and cultural disagreements with Jews. They still looked at him and thought, this is a child, the right thing to do is house and educate him and hide him from the people who would kill him.
And he grows up, has a family of his own, is 50+, and talks shit about the nuns, WHO SAVED HIS LIFE, in a documentary. Like how dare they! Possibly the first red pill I ever swallowed.

Israel deemed its nuclear program necessary for the State survival. Kennedy pushed for inspections of the nuclear facility and his assasination delayed those inspections, giving Israel time to cover nuclear weapons development. The Jews and Israel have always been our enemy. Boycott Israel, Expell all Jews!

LBJ later colluded with Israel to draw the USA into a war in the middle East, by covering up their attack on the USS Liberty (he probably knew about it ahead of time). I'm sure he knew about/was involved in the assassination, too.
Not that I have great love for JFK, but he certainly wasn't a warmonger or anti-American.

RE: LBJ Knowing about a plan to assassinate and being involved are two different things. GHW Bush and J. Edgar Hoover apparently knew about it as well, J. Edgar, in particular, according to Madeline, was reportedly at the infamous afternoon meeting at the Texas Hotel. Why wouldn't he be there? That's the meeting Madeline claims LBJ came from agitated and eager for the big event to take place. Doesn't mean he was part of it. (All those top people together and no one ever to explain what it was about, that meeting.
My pet theory is that it was Mafia retribution. There are two schools of thought about the Mafia. One is that the Mafia is as American as apple pie. Any other explanation as to why the gloves are off as concerns the Mafia?
