The quarrel ignores a more important issue. During WWII, the Vatican indeed appropriated relatively little in the way of Jewish assets, but it profited immensely from hundreds of other Jewish holocausts, big and small. Since the early days of Christianity, the Vatican seized the assets of Jews murdered and expelled in pogroms. That is how the Vatican amassed its splendid collection of Jewish religious books, to which it graciously grants Israeli scholars access once in a while.
