Anti-Semitism has indeed been declared a sin and I have run across none in the rank and file in CA even among the older, pre-Vatican II Catholics. Many say things against Church doctrine on the right and the left and are not punished unless and until it is brought to the Vatican's attention. Even then, the first step is a private reprimand not to do it again. I would be hesitant to assume that the Vatican approves of such behavior even indirectly.
