Holocaust-Denying Bishop Richard Williamson Expelled from Catholic Breakaway Group.


Holocaust-Denying Bishop Richard Williamson Expelled from Catholic Breakaway Group.(INN). British-born bishop Richard Williamson, who made headlines three years ago for denying the Holocaust, has been officially expelled from the Catholic breakaway group Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). Williamson was banned on Wednesday for lack of respect and continuous disobedience, according to a statement from the Society of Saint Pius X's headquarters in Switzerland.
In a 1989 speech at Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes church in Sherbrooke, Canada, Williamson had claimed that, “There was not one Jew killed in the gas chambers. It was all lies, lies, lies." 
He later reaffirmed his beliefs in an interview with Swedish television conducted in Germany in late 2008 and has continued to espouse his views in online forums. "Monseigneur Richard Williamson, having distanced himself from the leadership and the government of the Saint Pius X Society over a period of several years and refusing to show respect and obedience deserved by his legitimate superiors, has been declared excluded," the SSPX said in a statement.
The head of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) Ronald S. Lauder welcomed the expulsion, but said it should have been done years ago and “it does nothing to restore the credibility of this organization”. “It’s good that the hatemonger and Holocaust denier Williamson has finally been sent into the wilderness, but this is a decision the SSPX leadership should have taken years ago, when the cleric openly denied the existence of gas chambers. It is too little too late,” Lauder said. “The reasons now given for Williamson’s dismissal do not mention the damage this man has caused by spreading invective against Jews and others, be it from the pulpit, via his weekly newsletter and in his statements to the media.” The traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X is a Catholic splinter group, which sprung up in the 1960s following disagreements over supposedly liberal changes proposed by the Vatican.Read the full story here.

Vatican to reprieve society that brands Jews as 'Christ killers'.


“Violence does not build up the kingdom of God, the kingdom of humanity. On the contrary, it is a favorite instrument of the Antichrist, however idealistic its religious motivation may be,” Pope Benedict XVI . 





Vatican to reprieve society that brands Jews as 'Christ killers'.HT: IsraelMatzav.(INN).The Society of St. Pius X propagates the worst kind of anti-Semitism and Rome is on the verge of returning them to the Catholic fold. Their US website defends the Inquisition. Israel must react. 
The Vatican and the traditionalist Catholics of the Society of St. Pius X are near an “imminent agreement” that could bring the group back into the Roman Catholic Church’s fold and end a quarter-century of schism. The society, which is based in Menzingen, Switzerland, has 6 seminaries, 3 universities and 70 schools around the world. The Vatican spokesman, Federico Lombardi, said the Society had delivered an “encouraging” response to the Vatican’s demands. Lombardi has said that if an agreement is reached to bring the traditionalists back into the fold, the most likely scenario will be for the Vatican to declare the Society a “personal prelature” — a unique Church structure currently assigned only to the conservative movement Opus Dei. Many people remember the name of Richard Williamson. On the same day in 2009 that the Pope’s decree was signed lifting his excommunication, Bishop Williamson was shown on Swedish state television saying historical evidence “is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed” during World War II. But even if Williamson is just a lunatic anti-Semite, the proto-Holocaust teachings of the Society and the agreement with the Vatican will have historical consequences on Christian relations with the Jews. The entire Society propagates the worst kind of anti-Semitism.
Their US branch website demonizes “the international Jewry”, “the world wide Jewish empire”, “the Jews as the biggest capitalists”, the Jews as “the founders of Communism”, the Jews as “the enemy of man”. There is also “A defence of Inquisition”.
The South African website claims that “Jews are fulfilling their substitute-Messianic drive towards world dominion”.
The Irish branch calls the Jews “guilty of Deicide” and posits that they “must be baptized”.
The German site is also very clear: “The Jews of now are for sure guilty of the murder of God, as long as they don’t recognize Christ as God and are baptized to atone for the sins of their forefathers”.
The Belgian’s Society website defines the Jewish Messiah as “the anti-Christ of the Apocalypse”. The Italian Society’s bulletin, La Tradizione Cattolica, calls Judaism “a false cult” and spreads hallucinatory material on “the Jew Karl Marx” and “the Jews sleeping in the shadow of death”.
If the Vatican, which is responsible for the faith of one billion people around the world, welcomes back the Society, it means that the Pope simply has made a strategic decision: enticing Catholic anti-Semites back to the fold is more important than the Church’s relationship with the Jewish people.
The Christian identification of the Jews with Cain repudiated the notion of a permanent Jewish home in the Biblical land and it also proclaimed, against the concept of Jews as the Divinely chosen, their suffering as a pariah group, condemned to “eternal wandering” for their “mortal sin against Christ”.
This is the Society’s replacement doctrine and the subliminal ideology embraced by many Catholics around the world. After the Holocaust, the Church took some steps to demolish this genocidal theology. The Vatican-Society agreement would be a return to the Middle Ages’ pictures of Jews “torturing” or “murdering” the host, or the legend of a group of Jews who converted to Christianity after a vision of Christ appeared to them while they were desecrating a host. That is why if the agreement between the Vatican and the Society is signed, the rabbis should suspend talks with the Church, Jewish organizations should protest in front of the Society’s seminaries in the US and Europe, Israel’s ambassador to the Vatican should be recalled to Jerusalem and Israeli officials should declare the Society’s bishops “persona non grata” in the Jewish State. The stereotyopes of the Jews with demonic noses, bestial beards and funny-looking funnel hats should have been buried in Auschwitz. Anti-Jewish theology, which rings a genocidal note, must not come to life again.Hmmmm.........Hear, Hear!Read the full story here.
