The head of the brotherhood, Bishop Bernard Fellay, likened Williamson to uranium. "It's dangerous when you have it," he said, while adding one couldn't "simply leave it by the side of the road".

LOL.................

The notorious English bishop also allegedly told colleagues from his ultraconservative brotherhood ...

I smell bias.

LOL!

Honestly, though, it makes no sense for him to “repent” if he genuinely believes what he asserts. One would “retract” statements or writings one has come to believe are incorrect, and one would “repent” if one felt a sense of having done wrong. However, it appears neither of these possibilities applies to Mr. Williamson. He seems to believe he is correct.

What an ignoaramus. He, as a Catholic, should know that millions of Catholics were killed during the Holocaust too.

For him to deny it signals that he is void of sound mind and rational thought.

Promote ‘Bishop’ Williamson to be the Archbishop of Tehran, he’ll get along great with those little Jew-hating pricks.

Probably have afternoon tea with Ahmadinnerjacket once a week.

Question to all (and I’m not a denier):

How does anyone really know “how many” were killed?

Did someone actually count to 6 million, or is was this an “estimate”?

I have no doubt “many” were killed, I just wonder if the number wasn’t subject to the same kind of manipulation as the AGW temperature data.

I know that the pope lifted the excommunication, but I was not aware that Williamson is actually recognized as a bishop by the Church.

Although this fuels the anti-Catholics who salivate at every potential misdeed of a Catholic Richard Williamson is NOT a Bishop recognized by or in communion with the Catholic Church.On June 30, 1988 Williamson and the three other priests were consecrated bishop by Archbishop Lefebvre. On July 1, 1988 Cardinal Gantin issued a declaration stating that Lefebvre, Williamson, and the three other newly-ordained bishops "have incurred ipso facto the excommunication latae sententiae reserved to the Apostolic See".

On July 2, 1988, Pope John Paul II issued the motu proprio Ecclesia Dei, in which he reaffirmed the excommunication, and described the consecration as an act of "disobedience to the Roman pontiff in a very grave matter and of supreme importance for the unity of the Church", and that "such disobedience — which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy — constitutes a schismatic act".

Williamson and his supporters denied the validity of the excommunication, saying that the consecrations were necessary due to a moral and theological crisis in the Catholic Church.
