Oh c'mon . . . appeasement???!! He spoke out more against nazism and communism more so than any single leader at the time. probably more than all of them combined.
He was responsible for rescuing something like 500,000 Jews and he did this while pretty much under German rule. What were the other leaders such as FDR doing with the Jews that escaped?? Sending them back.
Hitler hated the pope for a reason . . . and unfortunately that is probably why something like 3 million catholics and thousands of their priests were killed in the death camps.
