I suppose you haven't seen any of the MASSIVE attacks claiming that Pope Pius XII was "Hitler's Pope" and actually assisted Hitler, despite the fact that Einstein said that the Church was the -only- entity in Europe to stand up to Hitler, and despite the fact that a prominent Israeli scholar cites that the Catholic Church saved over 700,000 Jews?

I've actually spent literal man-days defending Pius XII against that charge. There have been multiple books about it. Yes, Catholics in particular have been accused of being co-conspirators in the Holocaust many, many, many times, and the debate still rages. Just because you didn't happen to be paying attention doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

Again, is an attack on Pius XII the same as "all Christians are responsible for the Holocaust"? We're talking about an indictment of a historical figure vs. collective guilt. Are they the same?
