They also targeted our rabbinical brethren, for whom Alexander, in response to abuses in the Spanish Inquisition, had made safer living arrangements. [6]

1492 After forcing many Jews to be baptized and then referring to them as Marranos (swine), and after an Inquisition in which some 700 Marranos were burnt at the stake for showing signs of "Jewish" taint, Spain expels all Jews from the country

1497 Jews are expelled from Portugal

Must have been a small window of ' safer living arrangements'.

Timeline.

He made safer living arrangements for them in Rome

Perhaps, instead of rushing to judgment, you might wish to assume the best. ;)

Sounds like the recent Synod! See how the Holy Spirit works it out in the end?

As for sinning Catholics killing Jews...Catholics have killed Jews, Nazis have killed Jews. Protestants have killed Catholics. Europeans have killed Natives of Africa, America, India,....one tribe kills another...if your dead relatives have let it go, (and if they are in heaven, they have!), then why cannot you?

Seek justice for today’s murders and discrimination. Read the Torah...the Jews killed a lot of people too.
