Being ungrateful for sure, as many of their vocal organization still are towards that Catholic Church who saved with great risk entire families of such people all over Europe.
Indeed, Pope Pius XII went to great lengths to smuggle Jews to safety. In fact, he was publicly praised by them at the time. So impressed was the Chief Rabbi of Rome that he himself converted to Catholicism in admiration. So his generosity towards them cannot be in doubt.

Of course, nowadays they oppose his cannonisation by labelling him "Hitler's Pope"......

Graititude is not a word in their vocabulary, it seems.
