A lot of inaccuracies in this piece... for instance, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Boniface_VIII#External_links. And really: the Inquisition began in the 12th century. Its dark deeds date from its politicization by the Spanish Crown in the late 15th century.

Pius XII did speak out against the persecution of the Jews, until the Nazis began sending Catholics to the concentration camps.

This is not to exonerate the church, and we are all guilty of betraying Jesus Christ. But facts matter.
