Catholic Bishop denies Holocaust

This from Ruth Gledhill at Times Online.

"Bishop Richard Williamson is a hardline ultra-conservative bishop of the Society of St. Pius X. He faces possible prosecution for Holocaust denial in Germany after an interview with a reporter from Stockholm TV in which he claimed that six million Jews did not die in the Holocaust, merely a few thousand, and that the gas chambers did not exist. ... In an earlier story in the Catholic Herald, Bishop Williamson, former Anglican and a Cambridge graduate, was exposed as endorsing the forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

This report puts another crack in the relationship between the Vatican and Jewish leaders around the world. There are enough cracks in that relationship now that it won't be repaired in an easy or timely fashion.

Benedict XVI doesn't seem to be very interested in fixing it, anyway.
