You might want to read “Three Popes and the Jews” which clears the air on Pius XII, who wasn’t protesting because he was actively saving in the words of the author 770,000 Jews , including thousands in Rome at the time of the not protested expulsions.
The author was Pinchas Lapide, Jewish Theologian and Israeli diplomat. He is in no way a cheerleader, he’s just defending the record. He was also a WW2 veteran.
I think personally a lot of this has to do with the church not getting in line on abortion, gay rights, and modern mores. To wit the American line will reliably be the Israeli line (not the other way round).
