No. It’s pretty well documented. Pius himself said he held back so as to save Jews. Let me see if I can find the quote again, because I checked before I posted. I don’t say things like that without cause.

Pius MAY have adopted a “stand off” policy to save as many as possible, but I would not call this a failure.

Short list of Pope Pius XII’s public anti-Nazi proclamations

Papal Encyclical “Summi Pontificatus” October 1939

New York Times 10/28/1939

Fall 1939- Allied aircraft dropped 88K copies of Summi Pontificatus over parts of Germany

1/19/1940 - Worldwide broadcast Vatican Radio and L’Osservatore Romano

January 1940 Jewish Advocate

January 1940 New York Times

January 1940 Manchester Guardian

March 14, 1940 New York Times

1940 Easter Homily

May 11, 1940 Public Speech

June 1942

10/1/1942 Lonton Times

Homily Christmas 1941

Homily Christmas 1942

This is a very very short list and does not include anything Pacelli did before he became Pope Pius XII.

It has been noted that when Pius made public statements the Nazis stepped up executions of Jews and Priests.

No, he never said anything. Same old crap.
