So, did Jesus get punished by the Romans because he'd been doing stuff against their laws and they finally nailed him (NO PUN INTENDED) for it? Or did he get sent down for a crime he didn't commit?

There's a practical disconnect where people who do not believe will laugh and go "Oh, so 'cos Jesus died, our lives are amazing?" but that misses the fundamental point: A visible injustice levied against one person can provide the outrage necessary to prevent further injustices..
Think of it this way - had He never been crucified, the whole conversation in a Roman pub of "Hey, Ares, I'm just saying, but maybe that whole fiasco shouldn't have ever happened" would never have occurred.

And this is the point where I break from both Catholics and Christians in general - because I do not believe in literalism. Purely on its face, it is a valuable life lesson that doing the upright thing does not always result in a particularly great life, applicable to anyone.

"Feed the hungry, heal the sick, help the poor" should not be a particularly revolutionary idea, but for all too many it is, and someone who devotes their life to doing so should logically expect no end of persecution for it. It should not be that way, but it is.
