The Pope was criticized at the time for losing his moral authority.

The Allied governments spoke out much stronger than the Pope. Were they anti-Jewish?

The Pope was considered an Allied sympathizer by Germans and silent by the Allied governments. He was trying to be neutral.

By the way, I am Catholic, and I hate how holy Hell comes upon any ideas which suggest that the Popes are bad. It is Catholic propaganda, the Catholic party line.

Read these, then we can discuss the issue -

Mostly try reading, "Pope Pius XII and World War II, The Documented Truth: A Compilation of International Evidence Revealing the Wartime Acts of the Vatican" Gary L Kripp. This book has many photocopies of news articles. and documents from the time, read them yourself, no need to rely on someone else's account

While Japan slaughtered millions of Chinese and other Asians (as well as plenty of Americans), the Soviet Union maintained a ceasefire with them until the final months of the war. What moral authority do “the allied governments” have on this issue? They had refused to take in many Jews leading up to the slaughter, and ending it was not a priority of theirs at all. In fact, when Stalin had cleared the USSR of Nazis, he waited until he was offered mastery of Eastern Europe before he moved on to Berlin; hardly a hero.

Criticized by his enemies. He had to balance the benefits versus the costs of public statements. He was taking action behind the scenes. Attempting to protect the Church behind German lines was clearly also a moral consideration.
