What do Tito's archives have to say on the topic? Surely the UDBA must have compiled a juicy dossier describing this topic.

"The final number of Jewish lives in whose rescue the Catholic Church had been the instrument is thus at least 700,000 souls, but in all probability it is much closer to . . . 860,000."[21] This is a total larger than all other Jewish relief organizations in Europe, combined, were able to save. Lapide calculated that Pius XII and the Church he headed constituted the most successful Jewish aid organization in all of Europe during the war, dwarfing the Red Cross and all other aid societies

Once we have agreed that the Catholic Church, in particularly PIus XII, acted in a heroic and brave manner throughout WWII and single handedly saved more Jewish souls than all other European charities combined WITHOUT DEMANDING CONVERSION as you falsely accused them of, them we will move to actions after WWII.
