Holocaust-denying bishop raises fist to TV camera, neo-Nazis come to his defense

From Reuters:

Wearing dark sunglasses, a baseball cap and an overcoat, the tall, gray-haired Williamson was seen by a Reuters reporter in Argentina's main international airport as he entered the boarding area.

The bishop did not respond to questions and raised his fist toward the face of a local TV reporter who was trying to get a comment from him as he walked briskly toward his flight....

Pope Benedict angered Jewish leaders and many Catholics last month when he lifted excommunications on Williamson and three other traditionalists to try to heal a 20-year-old schism within the Church that began in 1988 when they were ordained without Vatican permission.

The Vatican ordered the British-born Williamson to retract his comments, but the bishop responded that he needed more time to review evidence regarding the Holocaust....

German neo-Nazi websites and blogs have published pieces supporting Williamson's stand.
He basically told the Pope to stick it, and the Vatican does nothing about it. "Healing the rift" with Holocaust-deniers is apparently more important than acting like members of the civilized world. What's next? Healing the rift with pedophile priests?
