New evidence has to be collected against the Bishop.

I’ve said it before and will say it again: I’m Jewish and totally against any criminalization of thoughts and opinions (thought crime) including holocaust denial.

Advocating violence is one thing; believing and stating publicly that something did or did not happen or a person/race/religion/nationality is good/bad/evil/wonderful is something completely different.

Bishop Richard Williamson went outside the Church law when he accepted being a bishop by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. He KNEW then that it was wrong.

From Wikipedia: In June 1988 Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre announced his intention to consecrate Williamson and three other priests as bishops. Lefebvre did not have a pontifical mandate for these consecrations (i.e. permission from the pope), normally required by Canon 1382 of the Code of Canon Law. On June 17, 1988 Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops sent Williamson a formal canonical warning that he would automatically incur the penalty of excommunication if he were ordained by Lefebvre without papal permission.

Now both men are reaping what they sowed. God help them both. I'm sure they originally started out with the best of intentions.

Satan got to them. God help them.
Catholic clergy are ALWAYS and ALWAYS held to MUCH HIGHER standards than anyone else on the planet.
