In the first place, I’m not so sure that is an analogy you really should be using. Didn’t the Vatican have some sort of concord or compact with Nazi Germany? And didn’t they hide fleeing Nazis after the war? Or is just baseless gossip? Because if the Vatican did, and fleeing Jews were hiding in my home, it would seem the Roman Catholics would be as much to be feared as the Nazis when it came to Jews. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, and I will apologize for my misunderstanding of any role the Vatican may have had in Hitler’s reign of terror.

The Vatican and the Red Cross both helped Nazis. That’s why mass murderers such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele and Klaus Barbie and thousands of others evaded capture by the allies. I think it was Gerald Steinacher from Harvard that actually wrote a book about it after sealed documents had come to light. If I remember correctly the Red Cross did admit later that they had. Steinacher said the the Red Cross was overwhelmed and the Nazis used that to blend in but that the Vatican helped them knowingly.
