I’m not big on ww2 details but would that actually be a choice? The vatican is smack in the middle of Italy, they wouldn’t even need to fly the bombs over so much as toss them.
Not excussing their myriad of other crimes but occasionally even the bad guy gets a bad deal.
I think given all their other actions during WW2 it’s definitely part of a pattern and probably wasn’t solely (if at all) in self defence. IMO if you read enough about various religions you’ll realise that organised religion is always fascistic.
Not to mention the fact that the catholic church is largely responsible for anti-semitism having blamed all Jews for the death of Jesus for nearly 2000 years (and even after what happened during WW2 they didn’t stop doing it until 1965).

Mussolini founded the Vatican state in 1929 and couldn’t attack it without loss of face
