Initially they had an uneasy relationship with Mussolini, and with the rise of Nazi Germany they walked a rather uncomfortable diplomatic tightrope given the situation. The actual bishops and priests across europe all varied rather greatly in how they dealt with it though, with some remaining silent (I've no doubt there were axis informants as well) while others were very successful in resisting in some manner or another, such as harboring and hiding Jewish people and informing on troop movements.
Just like all of europe that came into contact with or were occupied by the Nazis, on an official level they either appeased or capitulated at some point or another, but at the individual level the responses ranged from collaboration to resistance.
