A proactive, anti-Nazi Pope

What if in 1939, the Papal Conclave elects a proactive, anti-Nazi Pope in Pius XII's place? I was thinking maybe this guy, Maurillo Fossati, the Archbishop/Cardinal of Turin?

According to his Wikipedia article

During World War II, the Cardinal was an outspoken opponent of Fascism, and asked that Catholics take Jewish refugees and Gypsies into their homes.[2] Fossati even convinced the German Army to avoid Turin, thus sparing the city from devastation, in its 1945 retreat.[3]
So, what if he had become Pope, and uses his Papal authority to speak out against Nazism and the persecution of Jews? How would the Third Riech, with a huge Catholic minority, react to such words from the Pope? How bad could Nazi-Vatican relations get? Could there be a scenario late in the war, where German tanks and soldiers march into the Vatican and take the Pope prisoner as was done by General Berthier to Pius VI in 1798? And how would it affect the future of Catholicism?
 
Under no circumstances will the Pope be taken prisoner by the Nazi's or by Mussolini. El Duce had fantasies about it, but it was never an option. If any Pope had spoken out against Nazism it's likely that two things would have happened. The first is that other members of the clergy would be silenced by the Nazis and Fascist Italian forces. While the Pope may have the protection of being the world's most recognized religious leader, parish priests do not. In OTL many priests were arrested and killed when they spoke out; if the Church adopts a policy of anti-Fascism then you'll even more of this. Many priests would likely defy the Pope to save their skin. The second likelihood is that many Roman Jews would be sent off to the camps. Pope Pius negotiated with Mussolini, who in turn talked to the Nazis, to make sure that the Jewish neighborhoods in Rome (especially those that surround the Vatican) would not be subject to raids. This isn't going to happen if the Pope's anti-Fascist. In fact they may make a point of rounding them up in broad daylight to show how little practical authority the Pope had.

In short, it's not going to make things much better, and it's going to make things a lot worse. At least the Church would have taken a strong stand, but it wouldn't have been very practical.

There is a sequal to this....

The force has varied greatly in size over the years and has even been disbanded. Its first, and most significant, hostile engagement was on May 6, 1527 when 147 of the 189 Guards, including their commander, died fighting the troops of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in the stand of the Swiss Guard during the Sack of Rome in order to allow Clement VII to escape through the Passetto di Borgo, escorted by the other 40 guards. The last stand battlefield is located on the left side of St Peter's Basilica, close to the Campo Santo Teutonico (German Graveyard).

The Guard block doors and do everything they can to give the Pope time to escape down any tunnels that they still have (and I am sure having 'lost' one Pope there will be escape routes)

Then the Germans have to try and find the Holy Father being hidden by the Catholic faithful in Rome. For many of whom giving their life to hide the Pope would earn many years of their time in Purgatory....

I wouldn't bet on this Hitler was very unpredictable once he got into rage.
And Napoleon did it.


But I agree, the main result would be that more people got killed.
