Knowing the biblical history associated with Jesus (I.e. Pontius Pilate crucifying him to appease the Jews), how did Roman Catholicism end up becoming the dominant religion in the Roman world? It seem like they’d want to distance themselves from that, sort of like how it would be kind of awkward for Jews to accept Jesus as the messiah, ya know?

Lots of good answers here, but I think there’s a problem with the premise of your question. The Roman people and Jewish people did not kill Jesus. A select few did. Many, if not most, early Christians were Jews, as was Jesus. Most, if not all, early Christians were Roman. His death was more political than anything else.
