First, a disclaimer: I am a practicing Roman Catholic. So as I write this I'm debating whether or not I will attend Mass tomorrow.
Second, you may have already seen the reports about the Pope reinstating excommunicated Bishop Richard Williamson. Here's the operative video.
Third, the bishop isn't only a "quote-unquote Holocaust" denier, he's also a 911 denier. And here's the audio evidence for that.
Of course, we can give the bishop his due. He admits that 200k to 300k Jews did die at Nazi hands. Since we've learned during the past month that the death of 700-to-800 Palestinian civilians is a "holocaust" and evidence of "genocide," and that Gaza, in the words of Cardinal Renato Martin, head of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, is "like a concentration camp," is Williamson technically denying the "holocaust"?
Here's a bishop who is willing to believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah based on a handful of texts written decades and centuries after the fact, but he doesn't think there's sufficient evidence for the Holocaust? What in the hell are they drinking, let alone thinking, in the Vatican? Today was a day of shame for my church. Logging off to write my bishop.
