Romulus...

The Vatican and OSS were working together to move Nazis from Germany to Italy and thence to South American countries. This has been written about many times in books and news reports. I am surprised anyone could have missed it.

Do you actually have a citation? Or, do you prefer to stick with mysterious, unnamed sources? See Trevalyn's "Rome 1944" on events inside the Vatican (far from helping the Nazis, the Vatican was almost seized by the SS, until SS General Karl Wolff decided against a take-over).

The allegations about the OSS are particularly lame. They are based on the OSS's later use of remaining Abwehr assets behind the Iron Curtain. There were no Nazis smuggled into South America for this purpose. For details, see Otto Skorzeny's "My Commando Operations".

What the OSS did is the OSS's business. I'm aware of Nazi-loving charges against the Vatican leveled by various Serbian and professional Catholic-bashing websites, but I'd like to see citations from a reputable source, that the Vatican (not renegade priests like the Croatian Frenciscans) was involved in the escape of Nazi war criminals.
