I do, any time I take a position on historical facts, I do a check to make sure that what I'm about to say has some validity.
Now I guess one could debate the meaning of "Was with the Nazi's", but there is plenty of evidence that the Catholic church during the war was not it's finest hour.

Pope Pius XII led the Catholic Church during the tumult of World War II, but his silence on the fate of the millions of Jews killed during the Holocaust has clouded his legacy with controversy.
To critics, the pontiff’s refusal to publicly condemn the Nazis represents a shameful moral failing with devastating consequences. In his polarizing 1999 biography of Pius, British journalist John Cornwell argued that the religious leader placed the papacy’s supremacy above the plight of Europe’s Jews, winning a modicum of power—and protection from the rising threat of communism—by becoming “Hitler’s pope” and pawn. Supporters, however, say that Pius’ silence was calculated to prevent German retaliation and ensure the continued success of the Catholic Church’s behind-the-scenes efforts to aid victims of Nazi persecution.
I'm sure there are some who would take the position that the Pope "saved" the church but saving the church on a moral failure is not saving anything IMHO but then I'm not a Catholic but Agnostic.
