I find it sad that the Church goes to great lengths to accept nutjobs who happen to be on the political/religious far right wing, but banishes from the priesthood or the possibility of the priesthood someone who MAY be gay. It's just plain wrong to be reaching out to this guy. They threw him out, they had no business letting him back in/

That's the best he can do? Oh, I just don't know what the facts are, I did some research in the 80s. Seemed convincing to me at the time. You can't trust the testimony of thousands of eyewitnesses or Nazi confessions in open court.

He will see that the plaque stating that 4 milion were murdered has been replaced with a plaque that says 1.5 million murdered and he will see that those rooms designated as "gas chambers" are not.

As for Holocaust denial, if you state that not only Jews were victims of the Holocaust, that qualifies you as being a Holocaust denier and a Jew-Hater to boot. So unless you deny everyone else who was a victim of the Nazis you are a Holocaust denier.

Get it?

You must deny or else you are a denier.

There is no point to discussing this issue with schizophrenics, pathological liars, psychopaths, con-artists and apologists for theft and atrocity.

How many Japanese died in WW II?

Nobody cares.

We only care about one number and one people.

Enough is enough.

February 13th - anniversary of the firebombinb of the city of Dresden and the incineration of most of it's population.

Bet you don't know how many of them died either. Bet you don't care.

We won WW II because we were much better and efficient at murdering civilian populations than our enemies were.

Let me get this straight....

This guy believes all sorts of improbable, unprovable stuff that contradicts science and common sense, because it's in a book written thousands of years ago - often centuries after the events happened.

BUT

He doesn't believe in the organized extermination of millions of people less than 75 years ago, despite the incredible amount of evidence easily available - including the accounts of eyewitnesses.

And this guy has a position of authority? A job as hireling clergy?

Throughout my life, I have always sought the truth. That is why I converted to Catholicism and became a priest

He has always sought the truth. That's why he joined a monotheistic church whose single deity is a trinity, assisted by the Virgin Mary and a whole passel of demigods.

Because only someone who seeks the truth would find the inconsistencies of monotheism and multiple gods to be completely acceptable.

And as far as seeking evidence? Well, he will just read some books written by conspiracy theorists. Why bother to actually visit the sites in question?

Seeking the truth. There ain't nothin' like it!

What is in order would be an international, 100% transparent modern forensic accounting of the "Nazi Death Camps." We can pry the Nazi archives from the clutching fingers of the Holocaust Museum in DC (why is there a Holocaust Museum in DC, btw?) and MAKE EVERY SCRAP OF INFORMATION TOTALLY OPEN TO ALL COMERS.

Ground-sensing radar can tell us where the mass graves are/were. It must be some lost Nazi secret as to how they could have dug up mass graves and then left the soil identical to undisturbed-since-the-last-Ice-Age soil. An amazing feat of restoration.

There is no reason any nation on Earth would not welcome a thorough, international and 100% transparent forensic accounting of the "Nazi Death Camps."

No need to "question" Holocaust figures once every shred of evidence has been cataloged. I guess there is the slight possibility that the Holocaust figures have been vastly inflated to gain sway over world opinion. Let's conduct the research I've outlined and learn the truth of the matter once and for all.

Any conceivable arguments against doing this?

Just sit on your Holy recliner and read.

Maybe Richard Williamson has a job for you?

Most of my family was murdered in the non-existent gas chambers you smug A**hole.

None of the items you cite disprove the fact that the German state attempted to extinguish the entire population of Jews, Gypsy, Gays, and feeble or disabled as a matter of POLICY, not as actions needed to prevent the world from coming under the control of an evil dictator.

...obsolescence is at the door. Some day soon, you'll be nothing more than a pock mark on history.

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.

I've never been to the moon, but I believe that we landed there and that men walked on the moon. You don't need to see something to believe it. You need to be educated. I think it might be better if this man met with some of the many people who had firsthand experience with the holocaust. There are still survivors and soldiers who rescued them who are alive, and many of them speak German.

Hey, SS (oddly appropriate, no?), you know that smell? It's you.

Pretty much everything you said in your post is a strawman, or a lie, as usual.

We all would do well to ignore stinxter, Steele the First, and Saggy. Undoubtedly they'll treat this as their little denial playground, as usual.

"What troubles me about Yad Vashem is that Pope Pius XII is attacked there, even though no one saved more Jews during the Nazi period than he did."

So exactly what did Pious save the Jews from if the Holocaust didn't happen?

Why not? They have a lovely Holiday Inn. And it's quite possible it's where most of those Jews and Gypsies stayed during their visit between 1939 and 1945. It should be investigated.
