Williamson: St. Paul put it this way: The Jews are beloved for the sake of Our Father, but our enemies for the sake of the gospel.
Is Williamson competiting with the Church of England leadership (who want to accomodate Muzzies and Sharia Law) to see who can be the bigger idiots?
Not nitpicking ... that's an important difference.
Did Williamson teach Bill Clinton how to evade issues and compose weasel-worded statements, or did Clinton teach him?
Yes, and one thing people are ignoring is the fact that until the SSPX becomes a regularized part of the Catholic Church again, there is NOTHING the Pope can do about Williamson or any other of them.
Can anyone cite the scriptural references of Williamson.

Obviously, the issue before the Pope is whether or not such regularaization should proceed, and if so under what conditions and requirements.
Romans 11:1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Romans 11:11
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
I don’t know what he’s referring to, but a search for similar phrases as his turned up nothing except his own saying of it.

He has absolutely no leverage over them until they have returned to the Church.
Also, failure to “believe” in the Holocaust is obviously lunacy and a denial of reality that makes it clear that the person who holds that position is not rational.
But it’s not a heresy, and there are many irrational people in the Church, and as such they receive the pastoral care that is appropriate. In his case, it will probably be removal and seclusion, because of his public status.
B16 needs to muzzle this dude. Pull him to the Vatican and give him a nice cell to meditate on that book he’s getting. Let him be there for a VERY long time.
He is referencing Romans 11:28
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies, but for your sake; but as regards those who are God’s choice, they are still well loved for the sake of their ancestors.
>>and there are many irrational people in the Church<<
Some in our own parishes.
Some who voted for 0.
Some to lead them to believe this was okay.
And in my parish, the Ron Paul people who voted 0 in.
Uh.....what "historical evidence"?
Is it anything like the "evidence" you reviewed on the WTC attacks before coming to the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job and the work of a Jewish conspiracy? What exactly was that "evidence" again?
If it is, don't bother. It will be an utter waste of time.
Your "historical evidence" is just a euphemism for "reading books". Just like the rest of us. That's not primary "historical evidence". It's second, third and sometimes fourth hand information, hearsay and conspiracy theories masquerading as fact. Williamson has simply done what is done here on FR every day. Embraced those works which fit his own prejudices and dismissed those which don't.
Somebody get this guy a clue.
The priest is working hard to avoid the truth. He should be let go and find a more suitable profession. Maybe Baghdad Bob has an opening.
Denial of reality at that level is creepy.

Denial of reality at that level is creepy or evil - both...
According to the interview, Williamson is a convert. Does anyone know from which denomination he converted?
I suggest we give the damn fool the Mr. T treatment: quick hypodermic in the thigh and on the plane he goes.
Obviously, the issue before the Pope is whether or not such regularaization should proceed, and if so under what conditions and requirements.
It is most illogical for you to champion belief in Churban 'Europa' while classifying so many other events of Jewish history as "mythology."
Once again atheists and enlightenment types avoid the unpleasant fact that the history and survival of the Jewish People is the greatest evidence for the existence of G-d in history by turning them into chr*st-figures in an anti-religious "passion play," suffering and dying at the hands of "religion" in order to bring about a glorious G-d-free secular age.
