So the Pope, the apparent representative of God and Christ here on earth, couldn't proclaim the Gospel or stand true publically for God and Christ, because he was trying to protect certain innocent lives?

He did proclaim the Gospel and stand true for "God and Christ" (are you a Mormon?).

Various Jewish groups explicitly asked him to lay low and not make a public production out of chastising the Germans. All it did was lead to more reprisals.

Yes, Pope Pius XII was more concerned with saving Jewish lives than with justifying himself to history.

It doesn't matter a dang thing about how many Jewish lives he apparently saved, sitting quiet, when all we can know is that over 6 million Jews were killed and a world war was fought over the issue.

I DO NOT believe his supposed ‘pro-Jewish’ actions by being quiet were ever meant to help Jews.

Where in the Bible does it say to stay silent about wrong? This solely shows the Pope found it expedient to stay silent.
