    You can’t really compare the Vatican to WW2. But if you did, imagine if the axis powers still existed and got to keep most of their territories while telling their neighbours they just wanted peace but also promoting their generals and crimes as heroic and necessary.

      This applies to all 3 major axis powers

      promoting their generals and crimes as heroic and necessary.

      This applies to Japan

        None of the axis powers exists.

        This applies to Japan

        And they are widely criticised, like they should be.

          None of the axis powers exists.

          By that metric neither does the pre Vatican II church before 1965

          And they are widely criticised, like they should be.

          I agree. But they absolutely exist and do the thing that you said nobody does.
