At least someone is taking action -- though, as expected, it's not the Pope. The Hitler Youth Pope needs to wake up and see that it's no longer Germany circa 1941, where you can dismiss antisemitism and the Holocaust with a wave of the swastika. Just because Pope Benedict doesn't care about the murder of millions of Jews and others doesn't mean the rest of the world ignores hateful bigots who would rewrite one of the darkest chapters of world history.
Argentina has thrown out Holocaust-denying British bishop Richard Williamson, saying he must leave the country in 10 days.No comment? What cowards.
The Interior Ministry said last night Williamson had failed to declare his true job as director of a seminary on immigration forms and because his comments on the Holocaust "profoundly insult Argentine society, the Jewish community and all of humanity by denying an historic truth".
Williamson's views created an uproar last month when Pope Benedict XVI lifted his excommunication and that of three other bishops consecrated by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre as part of a process meant to heal a rift with ultra-conservatives.
The flap led the Vatican to demand that the clergyman recant before he could be admitted as a bishop in the Roman Catholic Church. It also prompted the Society of St Pius X, founded by Lefebvre, to dismiss Williamson as director of the La Reja seminary in Argentina and to distance itself from his views.
The Vatican had no comment on the Argentine action.
