Most Catholic Churches, particularly those in the Vatican did their level best to do everything that they could for the Jews during World War II. The Holy Father issued the only encyclical ever in German calling on the Catholic clergy and laity to resist Hitler. The problem especially in Germany and Poland were that so many of the Catholic clergy, especially the Bishops were put into the Camps and killed. The Holy Father, Pope Pius XII did such an outstanding job of protecting the Jews in Italy that the head rabbi in Rome converted after the war and took Pope Pius' Christian name as his baptismal name.

No. He was born into a Catholic family and had a Catholic upbringing.
Why did they hide Jews?
This probably discusses World War 2. A number of Christians hid the Jews. Pastor Martin Niemoeller, was upset because there were only 50 Protestant Pastors in the concentration camp with him for assisting the Jews in their attempts to escape the Holocaust while there were 450 Roman Catholic Pastors. About 3,500 Protestant Pastors were killed for trying to help Jews escape the Holocaust. A number of Roman Catholic Priests were killed. Still, the safest place for a Jew to go was to a Roman Catholic Priest. They knew the routes that took the Jews from one Parish House to the next. Once the Jews were in Romania, they were safe from Hitler. They went from Romania to Palestine which became Israel. Of course a number were caught and many Roman Catholic priests were killed. An alternative route was up through protestant Denmark to Sweden.

Do German Catholic priests receive salaries from states?
