    I would like to review the historical evidence

    for the reality of Jesus. When you consider what Bishop Williamson ostensibly does believe, i.e., the virgin birth, the efficacy of the Mass, the existence of God, even, the Holocaust doesn't seem like such a stretch, especially since there is actual historical evidence (like moving pictures, eye witness testimony and things that rational human beings would consider proof) as to the reality of the Holocaust. I think he is an anti-Semite and a nutcase, and I don't understand why anyone is paying any attention to him.
