Do you find it offensive that the Catholic Church appears to have at best turned a blind eye to the holocaust WHILE it was occurring?

I think that’s why Larry David has the nun share the same last name as a Nazi SS officer—he’s taking a direct jab at the Church’s position during the holocaust.

Are you suggesting that Catholics were complicit in the Holocaust?

What I find offensive is that ignoramuses like you continue to engage in revisionist history. Your conclusion can only be reached if you have your head in your dirt chute.

Sheesh, for-clinton is a good name

Do some reading like

HOLOCAUST-SURVIVING JEWS THANK POPE
Israeli diplomat praises Pope Pius XII for saving thousands of Jews during the Holocaust
'Nazi' Pope helped Jews flee Holocaust
'Hitler's Pope' saved thousands of Jewish lives

Evidently you never heard of the Encyclical "Mit Brennender Sorge" 9With burning concern), signed by Pope Pius XI which condemned Nazi ideology as "insane and arrogant" and

Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the state, or a particular form of state, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community—however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things—whoever raises these notions above their standard value and raises them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God
If you read William L Shirer's "The Rize and fall of Nazi Germany" a scholarly work that notes that afer this " thousands of Catholic priests, nuns and lay leaders were arrested, many of them on trumped-up charges of 'immorality' or 'smuggling foreign currency'."

St.Maximilian Kolbe was sent to the concentration camps for speaking out against the Nazis.

2 million Catholic Poles were slaughtered by Nazis

The Archbishop of Utrecht in the Netherlands published a letter on April 19, 1942, which was read in every Catholic church in the country. The bishops of Holland jointly denounced "the unmerciful and unjust treatment meted out to Jews by those in power in our country."

The Israeli historian Pinchas Lapide interviewed war survivors and concluded that Pius XII "was instrumental in saving at least 700,000, but probably as many as 860,000 Jews from certain death at Nazi hands"

In contrast, point out what your particular cult did against the Nazis?
