The Vatican yesterday ordered a conservative bishop, who denies the Holocaust, to recant his views if he wants to serve in the Catholic church.
The secretariat of state, the Vatican's most senior department, said the pope was
unaware of Richard Williamson's opinions when he lifted the bishop's excommunication last month.
Israel's foreign ministry welcomed the Vatican's remarks last night, saying: "Admonishing the manifestation of Holocaust denial is the first step in the right direction". But it said Israel expected "more explicit and unequivocal decisions and statements on this issue".
The world suffers under a great Hoax
On June 22, 1633, under attack by the entire Western world for his views on Copernican Heliocentrism (The idea that the earth revolves around the Sun), Galileo Galilei, the father of Modern Science, was forced to publicly recant his views and live under house arrest until he died in 1642. The Inquisition burned and imprisoned hundreds of others that refused to believe a lie. Eventually, the truth prevailed and the world was never the same, freed from the darkness of a religion that hated the truth. So it will be with the so-called Holocaust. When our people finally free themselves from the hateful, lying religion of Holocaustianty, all the nations will be free, and our people will enjoy another renaissance unlike anything they have ever known.
We here at Access St. Louis salute those brave men and women today who have sacrificed everything to tell the truth, and to let them know that their loss and suffering are not in vain. The truth can never die.
THE RECANTATION OF GALILEO GALIEI
I, Galileo, son of the late Vincenzo Galilei, Florentine, aged seventy years, arraigned personally before this tribunal, and kneeling before you, Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals, Inquisitors-General against heretical depravity throughout the entire Christian commonwealth, having before my eyes and touching with my hands, the Holy Gospels, swear that I have always believed, do believe, and by God's help will in the future believe, all that is held, preached, and taught by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But whereas -- after an injunction had been judicially intimated to me by this Holy Office, to the effect that I must altogether abandon the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and immovable, and that the earth is not the center of the world, and moves, and that I must not hold, defend, or teach in any way whatsoever, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, and after it had been notified to me that the said doctrine was contrary to Holy Scripture -- I wrote and printed a book in which I discuss this new doctrine already condemned, and adduce arguments of great cogency in its favor, without presenting any solution of these, and for this reason I have been pronounced by the Holy Office to be vehemently suspected of heresy, that is to say, of having held and believed that the Sun is the center of the world and immovable, and that the earth is not the center and moves:
THE RECANTATION OF BISHOP WILLIAMSON:
I, Richard Nelson Williamson, born 8 March 1940,a member of the Society of St. Pius X. and kneeling before you, Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals, Inquisitors-General against heretical depravity throughout the entire Judeo-Christian commonwealth, having before my eyes and touching with my hands, the Holy Gospels, swear that I have always believed, do believe, and by God's help will in the future believe, all that is held, preached, and taught by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But whereas -- after an injunction had been judicially intimated to me by this Holy Office, to the effect that I must altogether abandon the false opinion that Six Million Jews were not systematically exterminated or gassed and that I must not hold, defend, or teach in any way whatsoever, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, ...
Therefore, desiring to remove from the minds of your Eminences, and of all deceived Judeo-Christians, this vehement suspicion, justly conceived against me, with sincere heart and unfeigned faith I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies, and generally every other error, heresy, and sect whatsoever contrary to the said Holy Church, and I swear that in the future I will never again say or assert, verbally or in writing, anything that might furnish occasion for a similar suspicion regarding me; that I will faithfully repeat the lie that six million jews were gassed by the Nazis, that Hitler was the most evil man ever to walk the earth, and that the Germans collectively are responsible for this horrible event and must in perpetuity pay for their sins.
