um... and if you have, you're still in, just in a different locationThey're desperate for membership. If you haven't touched a little boy, you're in.
It is not the first controversy for Benedict. His decision to allow freer use of the old Latin mass, including a Good Friday prayer for the conversion of Jews, caused widespread anger.
Maybe I didn't read everything correctly...not that I agree with the choice...but how is denying jews were gassed being anti jew. It isn't saying they weren't gassed so we should catch up...it's saying lots died but not by deliberate gassing. Failing to acknowledge reality isn't a hate crime in most parts of the world.
I am not catholic or jewish...could this be part of the anger some how?
No, it would just be ignorant.Would me saying, that black people were never enslaved and that they made it all up as an excuse, be racist?
Yes seriously. How is denial a hate crime. He isn't going to or encouraging people kill jews to make up for the few that he feels didn't get killed. He is just denying facts. Denial isn't a hate crime or even racist for that matter.you see nothing wrong with saying 2 - 300,000 thousand people were murdered instead of over 6 million? You see nothing wrong with saying that the fact that these people were marched into rooms, stripped, gased and tossed into mass graves is merely a figment of someone's imagination?
Exactly.No, it would just be ignorant.
There is no hate in denying that millions were killed and instead believing 300k were killed. There is no hate in this statement unless you twist it to say "There were only 300k killed but I wish it was really 6 million like everyone else believes"
I never said he was a denier, I clearly stated that he is stating an incorrect number of victims.Richard Williamson is questioning the use of gas chambers in the camps. He is also questioning the numbers of Jews killed.
Does this make him a Holocaust denier?
While I think it is clear that gas chambers were used and that the numbers were likely as high as 6 million (no one really knows), it is still shocking to me is the level of hatred aimed at the Pope, Catholics and the Catholic Church by those who regard themselves as the unjustified targets of hate.
I dont think any matter, and that includes the Holocaust, should be beyond discussion. I think that Bishop Williamson should at least be allowed to make his case without being savaged ... even if he's wrong.
The idea that certain subjects are off limits to any further inquiry should be rejected no matter the subject.
There are many Holocaust issues which should be re-examined such as the fact that 11,000,000 persons died in the Holocaust, yet, we only ever talk about (or care about .. or give reparations too) Jews.
Half the 6 million Poles killed were Catholic or Christian.
20,000,000 million Russians were killed ... does their suffering not count?
10,000,000 million Germans, were killed ... mostly civilians, woman and children.
So why is it, that when we discuss WWII, there are never any victims besides the Jews? Why is their suffering considered worse than everyone else's.
Shouldn't the Gypsies, the Homosexuals, the mentally ill and the many, many others be right up there with their hands out for reparations and sympathy?
What happened to the Jews was horrific. But they were not the only ones it happened too.
