“It happened.”

No, it didn’t.

“Its factual history.”

No, it isn’t.

“Any of these events happening with the least of collaboration of any religion based upon Christ is reprehensible.”

If any of them had happened, then the perpetrators would have been in the wrong. However, an entity does not share in the blame for deeds committed in its name when those acts are done without its knowledge or consent, and most especially when such deeds are contrary to the wishes of that entity.

Were it otherwise, I could commit a crime and make you responsible simply by claiming that you inspired me to do it.

The argument is the Pope Pius XII saved so many Jews, there fore he was a good man.
That very argument admits he knew what was going on. Therefore he must share in some of the guilt. Inaction in the face of a crime is not a defense.
