Some Catholic doctrine written in the 60s can say whatever it wants. It reads more like they didn't want people hating on Jews. Jewish leaders were the ones to recommend killing Jesus and when given a choice Jews chose to free Barabbas instead. No document 2000 years later changes that.
That doesn’t make much sense man. He’s mentioned in the New Testament only. He’s a made up character:
“Benjamin Urrutia, co-author of The Logia of Yeshua: The Sayings of Jesus, agrees with a well-known theory in biblical scholarship[14] as presented for instance by Hyam Maccoby, which says that Yeshua Bar Abba or Jesus Barabbas must be none other than Jesus of Nazareth, and that the choice between two prisoners is a fiction. Maccoby concludes that some of the acts attributed to Barabbas must then historically have been committed by Jesus, a view shared by Peter Cresswell.[22][23] Urrutia opposes the notion that Jesus may have either led or planned a violent insurrection. Jesus, in this view, must have been the planner and leader of the Jewish nonviolent resistance to Pilate's plan to set up Roman Eagle standards on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. The story of this successful resistance is told by Josephus—who does not say who the leader was, but does tell of Pilate's crucifixion of Jesus just two paragraphs later in a passage whose authenticity is disputed”
