As in most things, the church was not monolithic during WWII
ironically the pope is an Italian from Argentina...why do Italians and germans live in Argentina?

and the last one was a hitler youth. i'm sure he didn't have a choice, but that should be an immediate disqualifier

Actually, no. Much of this was in the lead up to D-Day. In fact, the Pope was also involved in several assassination attempts of Hitler. Catholic priests were helping aid Claus von Stauffenberg's coup which inevitably failed unfortunately. As I said, the church walked a fine line, often tacitly supporting the fascist regimes in public while scheming against them behind closed doors. The Pope was even using his priests in France to help report German troop movements to the allies leading up to D-Day.
I wasn't a big fan of Cardinal Ratzinger, nor do I often agree with Pope Francis when he discusses how countries should respond to political issues, but your criticisms are ridiculous, ignorant, irrelevant, and off base.
