The Jesuits were responsible for the creation of the anti-Semitic myths, which started with their demonization of the Jews and the Rothschilds in their magazine La Civilita Cattolica as part of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.

I'm sure I read somewhere that in nazi Germany the reasons for antisemitism were split down religious lines. The Catholics were very into old school antisemitism, with its roots right back in the middle ages, while the protestants were more into race science and eugenics.

So certainly the Catholic Church is at fault for some of the problem but by no means all of it.
