In the midst of WWII, Catholics looked to the pope to guide them. Hitler had already begun secretly launching his plan to exterminate the Jews in Europe. Secretly, that is, to most- except Pope Pius XII. The pope remained silent whilst the rest of the world awaited any kind of grand gesture or speech condemning Hitler’s atrocities.
He chose to keep quiet in the face of the crimes committed by the Nazis throughout Europe, crimes that even took place below the Pope’s own windows, like the 1943 liquidation of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome, to which the pope made no official reaction.
At first glance, Nazism and Catholicism are diametrically opposed. The Vatican even seems an institution beyond all suspicion. The Church, however, faced in turn with the rise of Nazism, the Second World War and the extermination of Jews, will play an ambiguous – at times unholy – role. Several men of the Church, priests and bishops, being fervent admirers of Hitler, even fell into complicity…

Most clergy in concentration camps were Catholic priests
Any mention of the 700,000 jews saved by the church in WW2?
A lot of Catholic hate in the comments here, this video got some facts wrong. But don't listen to me, Even Albert Einstein would think this video is BS. In 1940 Time magazine quoted Einstein praising the Catholic Church for its role in opposing the Nazis: "Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly."
CAN'T HIDE FROM JESUS CHRIST😇💙💙💙🙌🙌🙌🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏

What we know actually about Pius is too much to support such content as this.
Sorry.
Hudal's helping monstrous criminals like Stangl, Mengele, Eichmann, and Barbie escape Europe and justice shows how virulent anti-Semitism was as widespread as it had been before WW2. Hudal was pleased that the Final Solution had been so successful and that the Nazis he helped were heroes of Christianity. What an evil creature Hudal was.
