The Vatican church probably had very little choice to be honest. The Vatican was under constant pressure from Mussolini to accept his terms during his entire regime. Helping Nazis was probably something they were forced to do, as opposed to something they wanted to do because they agreed with it.

This is post war, so no Mussolini or Hitler.

No.  It's more FDR and Churchill.

What he's saying isn't new, so much as better documented.

A lot of people got out via Red Cross and Vatican just in the rust of innocent people trying to get out too.

Others got out through the Vatican... via CIA and RIA insistance because they were thought to be able to be useful against the Soviets. 

During WW2 the allies were already planning for WW3.  Including Stalin.

When they won WW2 Patton suggested that while they had the tanks on the ground and troops in the field they should press the advantage with relativly fresh US troops and "Push till Moscow".  While enlisting what was left of the German Army to help!

 

Bishops who knowingly let nazis escape just because they wanted to... that's just silly on any large basis.  Maybe here and there for an occasional Catholic who didn't have much to do with the Nazi party... afterall not ALL people in the Nazi party were bad guys... just the main leaders... lots of people were just everyday people who joined to better feed their families.
