I do think you're mistaken about Pius XII. Do a little googling, he has been smeared, mostly by one play which was taken as gospel but he did a lot to help the Jews. I won't argue with you but I'm sure that you know that good people can be smeared by their enemies and good people will believe their lies.

The head Rabbi of Rome became a Catholic after the war.

I know he may have been smeared, and maybe I'm influenced by this. Don't get me wrong, I think Pius XII was a fascinating character, and making the choices he had to face was certainly not easy when you had Communism and Fascism prospering at the same time.

Still, I regret he did not have the same words as his predecessor to condemn more firmly what Hitler did to the Jews AND to Christians, especially to Catholic priests.
