That's helping them escape, not being responsible for what nazis did. I mean it's irreparably damaging to their already abominable image but it wasn't their fault Hitler rose to power.

I wasn't offering that as evidence that they were responsible for the Holocaust, I was offering it as an example of their close ties with the church. Unless you think they just became buddy buddy with them after the war ended? Considering we're only just learning about the large part they played helping these criminals escape justice, it might not be so far fetched of an idea that the Catholics had a larger role in the Holocaust than we know.

Perhaps but the problem is that we don't know how deep their role was. There plenty of reasons hate on the catholic church without inventing things.

The problem here is that you don't know how deep their role was. Nothing is being made up. Pope John XXIII even wrote about the role Catholic antisemitism played in the lead up to the Holocaust.
