Seminarians and nuns walking in a procession at the La Reja Catholic Seminary just outside of Buenos Aires. Bishop Richard Williamson was head of the seminary until being removed over the weekend.

SPIEGEL: Your position on Judaism is consistently anti-Semitic.

Williamson: St. Paul put it this way: The Jews are beloved for the sake of Our Father, but our enemies for the sake of the gospel.

Is Williamson competiting with the Church of England leadership (who want to accomodate Muzzies and Sharia Law) to see who can be the bigger idiots?

La Reja Catholic SSPX Seminary

Not nitpicking ... that's an important difference.

Did Williamson teach Bill Clinton how to evade issues and compose weasel-worded statements, or did Clinton teach him?

B16 needs to muzzle this dude. Pull him to the Vatican and give him a nice cell to meditate on that book he’s getting. Let him be there for a VERY long time.

I must now review the historical evidence once again. I said the same thing in my interview with Swedish television: Historical evidence is at issue, not emotions. And if I find this evidence, I will correct myself. But that will take time.

Uh.....what "historical evidence"?

Is it anything like the "evidence" you reviewed on the WTC attacks before coming to the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job and the work of a Jewish conspiracy? What exactly was that "evidence" again?

If it is, don't bother. It will be an utter waste of time.

Your "historical evidence" is just a euphemism for "reading books". Just like the rest of us. That's not primary "historical evidence". It's second, third and sometimes fourth hand information, hearsay and conspiracy theories masquerading as fact. Williamson has simply done what is done here on FR every day. Embraced those works which fit his own prejudices and dismissed those which don't.

Somebody get this guy a clue.

There are people alive today who saw the horror — the truth of the evil of Auschwitz.

The priest is working hard to avoid the truth. He should be let go and find a more suitable profession. Maybe Baghdad Bob has an opening.

Denial of reality at that level is creepy.

I suggest we give the damn fool the Mr. T treatment: quick hypodermic in the thigh and on the plane he goes.

I cited the Leuchter report (eds. note: a debunked theory produced in the 1980s claiming erroneously that the Nazi gas chambers were technically impractical) in the interview, and it seemed plausible to me. Now I am told that it has been scientifically refuted. I plan now to look into it.

I can disabuse him of that BS in about 90 minutes:

A nice little piece of filmmaking, by the way.

The most important part of the interview was Williamson’s last answer, which is absolutely on target: “A single interview on Swedish television has dominated the news for weeks in Germany. Yes, it does surprise me. Is this the case with all violations of the law in Germany? Hardly. No, I am only the tool here, so that action can be taken against the SSPX and the pope. Apparently Germany’s leftist Catholicism has not yet forgiven Ratzinger for becoming pope.”
