This isn't a revelation or in opposition to Catholic teaching. It's well known that Pilate did not want to crucify Jesus, but he was bullied into it by the Pharisees.
Pilate was appointed governor by Sejanus, who was second in command to Tiberius Caesar. Tiberius suspected Sejanus of sedition and had him executed. So when the Pharisees shouted "We have no king but Caesar", they were directly threatening to accuse Pilate of treason. Pilate delivered Jesus up for crucifixion to save himself and his family from torture and execution, and the Catholic Church has always presented him that way.
IMHO mods should not sticky this clickbait. Sounds like one the of old familiar pseudepigrapha that is new to the shocked, shocked influencer. I'm not bothering to find out which one.
It's a fake letter that has been around for years on YouTube. The question is, why is it being reposted now? It's Iranian wartime propaganda to get people to hate Jews and Catholics.
it doesn't even make sense... Jews i get, at least in theory, it paints them as bloodthirsty zealouts, but hell, the scripture even supports it, and wouldn't the church, which occasionally persecuted jews as I recall, have used something like this for propaganda purposes at the very least in the middle ages. I get it now, with the late pope being woke, sure, but for two thousand years? just saying it stretches believability awfully damn thin.

Roger that. This would be a confirmation of what is revealed in the gospels about Pilate if found to be authentic.
