Pay up, Bishop Williamson

A German court has ruled that Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson, a member of the an ultra-traditionalist Catholic splinter group Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), has to pay a 12,000 Euros ($16,822) fine for incitement.

Calling into question Pope Benedict XVI's decision to lift his excommunication and that of three other Lefebvrite bishops, Williamson denied in a televised interview that the Holocaust occurred. The interview was conducted near Regensburg shortly before the excommunications were lifted.

He has two weeks to appeal and apparently will, even as the Vatican carries forward unification talks with SSPX.

For shame, sir.

  1. Williamson deserves this fine and then some. He is a radical, anti-semitic Catholic who wants nothing more than to see the whole world subjugated to Rome.

    Unfortunately, he only says aloud what most Vatican officials discuss in secret. It is not a conspiracy--just read Rome's own media!

    Check out my blog, www.thevaticanlobby.blogspot.com. I use it as a clearinghouse for this kind of information.

    Anyway, like the site.
