I’m saying i doubt the Catholic church did much in its official capacity to help Nazis. We do know the rap against Pius XII was bullshit.Some individuals? Could be, but I’d need more evidence than a link that doesn’t work to believe that.

I somewhat agree with you there. During WW2, Pius XII played a bad hand as best he could. Keeping the Germans from occupying Vatican City was itself a remarkable accomplishment. I have no ax to grind against him.

But there is considerable evidence that lesser Church officials were involved in the ratlines. The Vatican itself has commented on that.

If you care to, take a look at the link below. Pius is exonerated. But not so some others.

One more thing, please. I am not implying that there is something uniquely bad about the Catholic Church. Every organization will have its shady characters.
