No, he was not. Hitler decided to embark on his antiSemitic campaign almost entirely of his own accord.
Roman Catholic AnswerNothing could be further from the truth. Pope Pius XII did more to save Jews than any single individual. The trials he had to go through both to save the Catholics and the Jews while opposing Hitler were unbelievable. The story is summarized in the link below.INDEPENDENT ANSWER

Why do Catholics pretend that the Catholic Church especially at the highest level didn't support Hitler?
.Catholic AnswerCatholics do not "pretend" that the Church didn't support Hitler, they know that the Church didn't support Hitler. All of the proof is that Pope Pius XII did everything in his power to support and protect the Jews, Catholics, gypsies, and everybody else that Hitler was trying to exterminate. He ordered the Bishops to do everything possible, he opened convents and monasteries to hide people. The top Rabbi in the synagogue in Rome was so overwhelmed by the love and support that the Holy Father that he converted to the Catholic Church. The leaders in Israel all issued statements thanking the Holy Father and the Catholic Church for all that it had done. The only people who believe that the Catholic Church supported Hitler are the know-nothings in the present day press corps that are willing to repeat any vile unsubstantiated rumor against the Catholic Church, and the people who listen to them. Look at history, not the local entertainment news.
