Pope Benedict: How Can The Unfallible One Be Wrong?

Isn't it strange to have a former Nazi Youth as Pope ask a Holocaust denier as Bishop to recant his statements because the German head of State is unsatisfied with his weak public position on the death of 7 million people.

This creepy guy is former excommunicated Bishop Richard Williamson, he is from "the traditionalist St. Pius X Society, founded in 1970 to protest the liberalizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council, including liturgical reforms and a document that absolved contemporary Jews of guilt for the crucifixion of Jesus."

He was just reinstated by Pope Benedict because he was "recently rehabilitated". But Williamson in an interview broadcast last month denied the existence of the Nazi gas chambers. What a swell guy. I love when people buy the whole mythology of a cloud god and his "son" who live forever and hear all your whispers, yet modern history with all it's visual documentation and factual death counts can be denied.

Jesus is having a WTF-moment over this guy about now.

Of all groups to reach out to, why did 4 excommunicated hateful Bishops get this great treatment? On Wednesday The Vatican stated that the society would have to offer its “full recognition of the Second Vatican Council”. They didn't even do that and they get back in? As for the Holocaust denying, Benedict is acting dumb saying it was “unknown to the Holy Father at the time he revoked the excommunication.” This from the only infallible person on Earth?

I mean, he knew he hated Jews and was crazy, but didn't think he had crazy Jew hatred. Old Nazis have that soft spot for each other.

Galileo spent 400 years outside the church before being reinstated. Being on the wrong side of history is what the Vatican is all about.
