It was a sincere apology, short and chaste. He sent it to Cardinal Castrillon de Hoyos, President of the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei,” the Commission arbitrating for the pope with the SSPX.
After stirring up the whole world, the bishop says he wouldn’t mind being cast into the sea, like Jonas. And there’s a little more.
If he is truly sorry, let him apologize to the Jewish people. His words pave the way again to Dacau and Auswitcz because he makes Jews liars adding insult to injury. I would believe his sincerity if he does that. Otherwise, I don’t believe a word he says.
His lapse in charity is horrible. And if he becomes a bishop, he makes the Lord Jesus look like a monster. I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with the man.
I’ve learned about the polgroms, the Crusades & all the inhumanities that Catholic laymen have inflicted on the Jewish people. The least I can do now is oppose this with all my strength and say this is not acceptable for a bishop.
Shame on those who consecrated this man to be a bishop! Shame on those who would treat him like one.
Spare us, Guy..Everything he said was based on scientific evidence and Red Cross data..No one still believes the incredible 6 million figure.
The Nazis killed innocent Jews and it’s terrible even if it’s only a 1/4 million..but, you’re making it sound like it came fm nowhere..Everyone in Europe knew that bolshevism was a Jewish movement..That they and their financiers ( Schiff, Warburg ) largely created the USSR, ran the gulags and the Secret Police and killed 20 million people before the odious Hitler built his first camp..
Don’t you know about this?
After allowing the above two postings, I’m shutting down comments for this piece, because I don’t want our site to host the kind of fruitless bantering on this topic I see elsewhere.
At SBC, we are not “revisionists” or “Holocaust deniers,” so we don’t want to give credence to their claims. Neither do we wish to join the chorus of denunciations of Bishop Williamson for his imprudent remarks.
Let us pray for the Holy Father and Bishop Fellay, that they handle this situation according to the Holy will of God.
