It is an absolute outrage that Pope Benedict XVI has lifted the excommunications on Bishop Richard Williamson who says that there were no gas chambers in what he calls the “quote unquote holocaust”.

In other words he believes there was no holocaust.

Here is the interview he gave on Swedish TV:

It is noteworthy that he says that “historical truth goes by evidence and not by emotion”  –  not something which millions apply to religious belief where evidence is somewhat lacking for the existence of ‘quote unquote God’.

To embrace a man who denies the scale of the genocide conducted by the Nazis shows the true face of the Vatican and should give cause to all rational people  to question what  the Catholic Church stands for.
