The priests of the church crucified Him, since the propagation of such true knowledge will affect their interests. The sinners come and donate to get their sins cancelled. The priests play important role in this process and get highest respect from the public.
The propagation of this truth will affect their business and respectful positions in the society. The priests of all the religions in the world are doing huge business based on this false concept only. In fact, these priests can earn more and can get more respect if they are based on the truth and propagate the true knowledge.
When the truth is propagated, the souls will get real benefit. The priests will be rewarded more and hence, should not object the propagation of the true spiritual knowledge under the false impression that their livelihood gets spoiled by the true knowledge.

The bold statement is the crux of the whole matter! Jesus was a rebel in a sense as he was a direct danger to the "established" order, he was putting power into the hands of the people and removing it from the oppressors, as one brings about the other, they go hand in hand. Thus Jesus was removing the need for intermediaries who were exploiting the "followers" for their own livelihood, and some of these "exploiters" I think were doing the exploiting unconsciously. In other words their heart was in the right place but they were as blind/deceived as those they were unintentionally deceiving.
I think this quote sums up nicely the point: 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.'
Upton Sinclair
Its called problem, reaction, solution and its effectiveness is as old as time; create the problem (sin=eternal punisher/punishment), cause the reaction (fear of sin=fear of eternal punishment), present the solution (salvation= "only" through those who created and perpetuate the problem) thus they to this day remain in power through this repugnant vicious cycle. As the Tao states: "When you no longer trust yourself, you come to depend on authority" hence Jesus and many others were teaching "Self Mastery" which is detrimental to those whose livelihoods depend on those who "no longer trust themselves." Thus, the path of Self Mastery is the ending of the vicious cycle.
