Seeing there has not been the usual uproar that others get with they make a statement this anal (btw he will make the list) I feel I must jump in here.
We all have heard that the holocaust never happened especially from Ahmed….ahmac….Ahmen…Ah…ah crap…that little short guy in Iran but did you know he is not alone?
Despite that, Pope Benedict XVI lifted an excommunication on Bishop Richard Williamson on the weekend, two days after he denied in a television interview that Nazi Germany murdered millions of Jews.
The Vatican is trying to stress that cancelling the excommunication does not imply in any way that it shares Bishop Williamson’s views.
Williamson has been rehabilitated despite his denial that during the Second World War millions of Jews were murdered. The now reinstated bishop went so far as to say that “not a single Jew died in the gas chambers” during this period. Van Bommel is also demanding that the Dutch ambassador to the Vatican register a protest against Williamson’s holocaust denial and his rehabilitation.
The bishop was excommunicated not for denying the Holocaust, but for being illegally consecrated by a French traditionalist prelate whom the Vatican accused of creating a schism in the Church.
But this has only created a new gulf with many Jewish leaders, who have been accusing Pope Benedict over the past two days of deliberately setting back relations with the Catholic Church.
Now where is the uproar from world leaders from this statement that the little demagogue from Iran has gotten back making the same statement? I am sure that deep down he is a good Christian and he is just mistaken (that is called sarcasm).
The Bishop’s superiors say that his historical and political opinions don’t matter. He is still, they say, qualified to teach on matters of faith and morals.
These are the same faith and morals that purchased proposition hate.
Great to have you visit Dana…..so very true….it irks me when the media allows crap like this statement to go unreported……but let some little Arab say something and damn the outroar.
