Christians were heavily persecuted until around 312 with Emperor Constantine. Next time, if they want to say that, they should instead of saying it wrong in a roundabout way.

-1AD? So 1BC, which is before jesus was born? Do you mean ~33AD and ~34AD? Also, the church would not have been condemning Jesus as it was established after his death. You might be thinking of a Synagogue and pre-Christian Judaiism.
