Did Einstein say that? Well, I have confirmed the quote from the December 23, 1940 Time Magazine Vault, and it does indeed quote Albert Einstein as saying:
"Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly."

”My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a
vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for
the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a
law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and
punishment.” (Albert Einstein in a letter to M. Berkowitz, October 25,
1950; Einstein Archive 59–215; from Alice Calaprice, ed., The New
Quotable Einstein, Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press,
2005, p. 206. )
