British Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson is clearly the most dangerously deluded man in the world. His denial of the Holocaust is at best naive – at worst it is the mind of a very sick individual.
In November 2008, he told Swedish television that he did not believe any Jews had died in gas chambers during the World War II.
Mr Williamson, a member of ultra-traditionalist Society of St. Pius X was automatically excommunicated 20 years ago after being appointed as a bishop by a breakaway archbishop, without papal consent.
Pope Benedict XVI has been criticised for lifting the excommunication.
So Bishop as you clearly know very little, here are some facts:
Empty Gas Pellet Cans
- The best estimates are that more than six million people, the majority Jewish, were murdered by the Nazis during World War Two.
- This programme of mass murder wiped out two-thirds of all European Jews. The Nazis referred to the programme as the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question” (Endlösung der Judenfrage).
- “Extermination Camps” received not only Jews, but also gypsies, homosexuals, communists, Soviet prisoners of war, Poles, Jehovah’s Witnesses and members of the underground resistance. Victims’ corpses were usually cremated or buried in mass graves.
- The most deaths occurred at Treblinka, Warsaw, Auschwitz and Sobibor in Poland, Mauthausen-Gusen in Austria and Buchenwald, Dachau in Germany.
- Gas chambers were used at Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Chelmno, Sobibor, Belzek and Majdanek.
- The first mass gassing at Auschwitz occurred on 2/3 September 1941. In September 1942, an SS doctor, having witnessed a gassing wrote in his diary: “They don’t call Auschwitz the camp of annihilation (das Lager der Vernichtung) for nothing!”
- At the height of exterminations at Auschwitz over 9,000 people were killed each day.
- The camp commandant, Rudolf Höß, testified at the Nuremberg Trials that up to 3 million people had died at Auschwitz.
- The gas used by the Nazis was Zyklon B, a crystalline hydrocyanic acid that became poisonous gas when released into the gas chamber vents.
We leave the Bishop with a quote from Heinrich Himmler:
“We have the moral right, we had the duty to our people to do it, to kill these people who would kill us.”
Perhaps his motives for this nonsense are best left to be explained to his god?
What are your thoughts on the matter?

Shame on this guy and well done for exposing him in this post.
Its also welcome and refreshing to see you mention all the other groups of people besides Jews that were killed in the holocaust – they are often ignored. The Jews were targeted ultimately because they were heavily involved in organising resistance to the Nazis in their communities, not simply because of some abstract racism alone.
De-frocking is too good for this nutter, a taste of the old Spanish Inquisition methods might do him some good!
It seems like this will run and run – now the Pope has issued a u-turn in his support for the Bishop. The Times has a good piece on it here:

There was not much opposition to the Nazis by the Jews, as mentioned above.
Hitler, and his supporters had other reasons, but this was not one of them. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising was a brave attempt, but few Jewish people survived this.
Hitler made clear in ‘Mein Kampf’ in the mid 1920s, long before he was elected, his hatred of Jewish people, and his plans to rid Germany of them.
In fact, there was little real opposition to Hitler’s regime until it was clear that Germany would be defeated eg. the Stauffenberg attempt in July 1944.
Many Jewish people, (and Germany had many fewer than Poland, the Baltic States, Eastern Russia), left Germany before the war started.
The largest extermination camps were not in Germany. Auschwitz for example, is in Poland, and victims travelled long distances across Europe to the camps. The Holocaust only really started once the Nazis had overrun most of Europe. But it did happen, and those who say otherwise really know little of the history of WW2.
I Love The Bishop
