As if this hasn't been dealt with before.

Please provide the sentence before and after quote #1.

Answer: You won't find it. It doesn't exist. As an aside, disputing the details of the Holocaust right or wrong is not an article of faith in the Catholic Church. It's worth researching at least to find out if Jews were really made into lampshades and soap or not. Details of the Holocaust are still being fought over on the ADL's website. The liberals want homosexuals as part of the holocaust but the conservatives have been claiming the Nazis were all homosexual as part of their legacy. And they don't want homosexuals to be included as part of the total killed.



Quote #2 The book is fiction yet makes uncanny parallels to the behaviors of those who are enemies of the Catholic Church. Much like Taylor Caldwell and the robber barons. Also, The Freemasons poo poo the papal publications of the Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita in the same vein.

Quote #3 Mel Gibson and the treatment of the Passion of the Christ by Rabbis Marvin Heir and Abe Foxman show the truth of bishop Williamson's statement. By the way, having heard Williamson speak on these issues, he prefaces his comments with "I by no means mean "all Jews" or "all Freemasons. I'm specifically referring to those that are overt enemies of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church". And considering he has had a Rabbi as a guest at the seminary in order to teach a special area of Medieval history, it's hardly plausible that he's the raving anti-semite that enemies of traditional Catholics claim he is. First person experience puts the lie to those internet claims.

If you want to discuss this further, I'll be frequenting the Angelqueen.org forums from now on.

One of those four men Lefebvre ordained, the English born Bishop Richard Williamson, has arguably become the most notorious of his class. Besides performing his duties at the Society's seminary in Winona, Minnesota, Williamson has apparently had time to establish some connections with some, shall we say, interesting groups of people.

An advertisement appearing in the January 1993 issue of the Researcher newsletter, for example, enthusiastically announces the release of the first of a projected series of videos entitled Christian Separatists and Traditionalists. The 50-minute color video is "partly an interview with and partly a lecture by Bishop Richard N. Williamson of the Roman Catholic Society of St. Pius X given in Syracuse, New York, apparently sometime around the latter part of 1992. The author of the ad first attempts to assuage the fears of any anti-Catholic Nazis who might be reading it:

"Diehard anti-Catholics will groan and imagine this is a tape full of direction about Catholic piety (there is some), "Popery" and the usual church support for the system. Ah, but this is a churchman with a difference! In the late 1980s, Bishop Williamson spoke in Quebec where he told a packed church that Ernst Zundel was right! (The Zionist-controlled satrapy of Canada tried to have him permanently barred for that). Next Bishop Williamson invited battling barrister Doug Christie to St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Winona, Minnesota to give an address. This is no ordinary bishop!"

For the uninitiated, Ernst Zundel is a German-born Canadian immigrant who, according to the Anti-Defamation League, acts as a commercial artist when he is not serving as a Nazi apologist. According to the ADL, Zundel has written such books as Secret Nazi Polar Expeditions and The Hitler We Loved and Why. One of his main theses is, of course, that the stories of the Holocaust are simply untrue.

The ADL notes that Zundel was charged in 1985 under a provision of the Criminal Code of Canada prohibiting individuals from "knowingly publishing false news that caused or was likely to cause damage to social or racial tolerance." Another Canadian revisionist, high school teacher James Keegstra, was accused in 1985 of "willfully promoting hatred towards a definable group, i.e., the Jewish people." Both defendants were successfully represented in court by attorney Douglas Christie, who was featured as a guest speaker at the institute for Historical Review's Seventh International Revisionist Conference in February 1986.

Since 1981, according to the Anti-Defamation League's 1993 book Hitler's Apologists, the IHR Conventions have provided an annual forum for revisionist historians to come together and present papers challenging the veracity of the Holocaust. One of the featured speakers at a recent IHR convention was Ditlieb Felderer of Sweden who asserts that Anne Frank's diary is a hoax. Felderer was convicted in May 1983 by a Swedish court for distributing anti-Semitic hate mail, including locks of hair and pieces of fat which he claimed belonged to Holocaust victims.

The IHR's Eleventh Revisionist Conference took place in October 1992 in the Los Angeles area. According to the ADL, the IHR's "George Orwell Free Speech" award was presented to the "neo-Hitlerian" Ewald Athans, who accepted it on behalf of Ernst Zundel, who reportedly had been denied entry into the United States. Also appearing as a speaker at this same conference was none other than Wolf Rudiger Hess, the son of Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess. Another interesting note: the July 1989 IHR Newsletter reported that Dr. Boyd Cathey, a former priest with the Society of St. Pius X and erstwhile professor at the Society's seminary in Ridgefield, Connecticut, was the latest addition to its Editorial Advisory Committee.

Judging from the friendly tone of the ad in the Researcher as well as from his invitation to Christie to speak at his seminary, it appears that Bishop Williamson shares at least the historical perspective of these men. Arriving at such a conclusion is not difficult when one reads the panegyrical concluding lines from the Researcher ad: On the video [Williamson] even predicts, in line with a prophecy of La Salette that Rome will become the seat of the Anti-Christ.... If we had even one Protestant bishop of a church congregation the size of the Society of St. Pius X that spoke and acted as Bishop Williamson does, our cause would be far advanced."

It seems fairly certain that no one at the Institute for Historical Review would fault Williamson for not trying his hardest to advance the standard of the historical revisionists. After his address in Quebec in 1989, the IHR Newsletter proudly reported that Bishop Williamson had been subsequently harassed by "Jewish groups, abetted by 'interfaith groups' and the local Catholic hierarchy (Bishop Williams [Sic] movement is considered schismatic by the current Catholic hierarchy), [who] not merely denounced the bishop but set the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on his trail, since the interfaith posse deemed the bishop to have violated Canada's 'hate laws' which have already been applied against James Keegstra and others to good effect."

The idea of Bishop Williamson having to flee "the interfaith posse" provokes an interesting image. An excommunicated Catholic bishop on the run from the Canadian Mounties, his fine, white-laced surplice blowing about him as he flees for the American border, a modern-day martyr for truth, at least in the eyes of the revisionists. Frenzied crowds of swastika-toting skinheads wildly cheer him on, while St. Thomas Aquinas, from his heavenly vantage point, prayerfully pulls for the cops.

* I think it's a good idea for you to go to AngelQueen. Birds of a feather and all that..
