The Catholic church acted disgracefully during WWII

I agree they should have taken a moral stand not just on the holocast but on Hitler's wars in general. Six million jews were killed in gas chambers, but overall almost 60 million people died in WWII. That is a staggering number and the Catholic Church showed no moral leadership at all during that horrific conflict.
