    So was harboring the head of the fascist Ustaše in the Vatican and smuggling him out to Argentina using the ratlines after WW2 - and keeping the loot the Ustaše brought with them. So were the Catholic forced conversions conducted by members of the Franciscan Order during WW2. The Pope can hand back the stolen treasure to the owners and release the documents from that period if he wants to make a believable denouncement of religiously motivated atrocities.

    Until the Vatican is willing to address its own genocide and make amends, this is just hypocritical hot air and puffery.
