The Definitive Source For News On Jews

Conciliar Rome’s radical misunderstanding of what the Catholic Traditional movement is all about, was illustrated once more in Paris last Wednesday (May 12) when Cardinal Kasper, head of the Vatican department for relations with other Christian churches and with Jews, gave a press conference. From the Reuters report let me quote as faithfully as possible what the Cardinal thinks, summed up in five propositions, and then comment.

1)The doctrinal discussions presently taking place every two months between four theologians of Rome, and a bishop and three priests of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX), are not proving easy. 2) The main problem is the concept of tradition. “Do we want a living tradition or a petrified tradition?” asked the Cardinal. 3) He said he is for this dialogue with the SSPX, but it has to be on Rome’s conditions and not on those of the SSPX. 4) If an agreement is to be reached, the SSPX will have to make concessions, and it will have to accept the Conciliar reforms. 5) Without an agreement the SSPX will have no official status, its priests will not be recognized as Catholic priests, nor will they be allowed to exercise their ministry.

(1) Of course it is not proving easy to reconcile 2+2=4 (Tradition and the SSPX) with 2+2=4 or 5 (Vatican II and Conciliar Rome). We are in the presence of two profoundly different conceptions of arithmetic, of two just as profoundly different conceptions of Catholic Truth.

(2) 2+2=4 is truth, unchanging and unchangeable, therefore “traditional”. 2+2=4 or 5 is a brand new arithmetic, as “living” as one likes, but utterly unreal, and so not traditional at all.

(3) If one is discussing true arithmetic, it will be on true arithmetic’s terms and not on the terms of either party discussing, even if one of the parties takes its stand on those terms.

(4) Who wants, or needs, to arrive at an agreement that 2+2=4 or 5 (Vatican II) ? Only merchants of fantasy who no longer care for true arithmetic !

(5) If “official status”, “recognition as priests” and “being permitted to minister” all depend on accepting that 2+2 can be 4 or 5, then all such “status”, “recognition” and “permission” are being bought at the price of Truth. But if I sell off the Truth, how can I still have it to tell it? And if I can no longer tell the Truth, what kind of a priest can I be, with what kind of a ministry ?

Indeed in the same Reuters article the Pope is quoted as having said that the SSPX problem “robs him of his sleep.” Holy Father, do believe that the Truth is far above the SSPX, which is no more than one of its tiny momentary defenders. Every one of us in the SSPX wishes you all kinds of well, especially to sleep well. It is not the SSPX, but murdered Truth, which is keeping you awake at night.

Kyrie eleison.

+Richard Williamson

On Friday, 16 April 2010, Pope Benedict XVI’s 83rd birthday, the trial against Bishop Richard Williamson of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) took place at the Local Court Regensburg, Germany. All in all roughly forty journalists arrived as well as twenty-odd supporters of Williamson, who had to make do being seated in the back row of the absolutely packed court room. Among the supporters were Lady Michèle Renouf, Günter Deckert and Ursula Haverbeck, as well as many other well known faces. Sadly, there were no members, followers or supporters of the SSPX present that could be identified as such.

After the usual security checks, which for a change were handled in a rather civilized manner, the trial started at 9.00 a.m. sharp. The dramatis personæ were: Judge Karin Frahm, a fairly pretty blonde, twenty-nine years of age (!); Senior State Prosecutor Edgar Zach, a grey-haired gentleman probably in his late fifties; and Matthias Loßmann, the defense attorney for Bishop Wiliamson, a fellow possibly in his mid-forties whose air and appearance were eerily reminiscent of a gravedigger. The minor parts were played by an all-female cast: a stenographer, an interpreter for English, and another for Swedish. Her Honor was seated in front of a strange yellowish backdrop, the kind familiar from modern Wagner productions. Seating and legroom were satisfactory, the acoustics excellent.

The proceedings began with an explanation by Herr Loßmann that Williamson would not be appearing since the SSPX had forbidden him from doing so. Next it was recorded that not one of the three Swedish witnesses had turned up, and that they had neither excused themselves nor given any reason for their absence. Herr Zach then began reading out the indictment. The contents were comprised of the usual stuff familiar to all: Williamson has denied and belittled the Holocaust, has done so aware of the fact that such heresy is a grievous violation of modern dogma, has furthermore committed this heinous act intentionally in a manner suited to disturb the public peace, and must therefore be dealt with accordingly. To his credit it must be said that the Prosecutor, Herr Zach, was calm, collected, read the indictment without any aggressive or hateful undertone, and made a generally polite impression.

In the scene that followed, Defense Attorney Herr Loßmann gave a fairly detailed account of what had transpired and how the various events had come about. The judge asked many a probing question, of which a few were simply superfluous. Some questions Herr Loßmann was unable to answer. But a great deal of these gaps were filled in later during an exciting scene in which  Loßmann’s witness, Maximilian Krah, the lawyer for the SSPX…took the stand.

All in all Herr Loßmann left a rather dubious impression: his account was repetitive, unstructured, and his idiom sloppy and unbefitting of his role.

Here now a summary of a few lesser scenes, in no particular order: The court ordered a viewing of the infamous final five minutes of an originally hour long interview, the very five minutes that got Bishop Williamson into this mess. Then the matter of the absent witnesses was taken up again: two documents were read out, one by the legal department of the Swedish television station SVT1 which stated that they would not help the court due to lack of trust in the German legal system, and the other by the Swedish Ministry of Justice, who wrote that they would not be rendering the court mutual judicial assistance since freedom of speech is guaranteed in Sweden but not so in Germany.

Furthermore, an article from a Swedish magazine, which had no real bearing on the case, was translated off the cuff fluently into high quality German… Plus, a segment of a German television program showing the interviewer of Williamson (Name: Ali Fagan; status: absent witness) made the comment that he would gladly stand as a witness in a German court of law, etc., etc. Another delightful scene starred the interpreter for English. Asked by Judge Frahm whether she could translate a letter extemporaneously or whether she needed time to prepare, this lady requested and was granted “five minutes,” whereupon she ambled over to her Swedish speaking colleague, chatted with her for fifteen minutes, went back to her seat and translated the text in one go. It was surreal. All these and the following scenes were interrupted by “five minute recesses” that were fifteen minutes long each. The trial lacked any real coherence, haphazardly jumping from one matter to the next, not even the many “five minute recesses” being synchronised to the action on stage. The only thing that kept everything together, were the endless, totally superfluous repetitions.

A real highlight was the act in which Herr Krah, whom we first encountered two paragraphs ago, was called as a witness for the defense. As lawyer for the SSPX, Herr Krah had a great deal of knowledge as to what had transpired having witnessed the events unfurl himself. Of this he gave an informative account. In answer to the judge’s questions, he drew a detailed picture of Williamson’s standard of living, describing not only his home but also which tube (subway train) to take in order to get there.

He then told of Williamson’s position within the fraternity, that the bishop wields little or no power in the SSPX, and that Richard Williamson is considered and considers himself “an eccentric Englishman”. Herr Krah went on to speak of the Bishop’s personality, characterising him as refined, polite, erudite, well-spoken, and an excellent teacher. He then informed the court that if the bishop questions the “Holocaust” he does so only because he is utterly convinced that his opinion represents the truth. The bishop, so he said, is absolutely bound to truthfulness and would never lie. As such Williamson is certainly convinced of what he had stated in that interview. The problem, according to Herr Krah, is that Williamson’s ability to perceive the truth is seriously impaired (“ein nachhaltig gestörtes Erkenntnisvermögen”).

As an example of this condition Herr Krah told the court that Bishop Williamson does not believe in the 9/11 story, and on having been asked by the judge continued by explaining to the court all about how some, if not many people doubt the veracity of the official 9/11 account. To summarise, Herr Krah…gave a heap of information…including details likely to harm the bishop….

Let us now turn to the final act of this tragicomedy. In the first scene Herr Zach gave his closing arguments. He stated that Bishop Williamson had known exactly what he was saying, knew full well that this is against the law in Germany, was counting on the fact that this interview would be made public, and that the bishop had by these means hoped to spread his twisted views on the “Holocaust.” Considering the fact that Williamson had done this intentionally, a fair sentence would be a fine of 12.000 Euros (i.e. $16,000).

Now it was time for the summation of the defense. Herr Loßmann proceeded to recapitulate the entire story as it had slowly unravelled before our eyes through a profusion of irrelevant repetitions, tedious tangents, and futile five-minute recesses. In short: On occasion of the ordination of a Swedish deacon who had converted from Protestantism not merely to Catholicism, but to one of its most traditional branches (which caused a stir in Sweden), a Swedish camera crew went to Zaitzkofen, near Regensburg, and asked the ordaining bishop, Richard Williamson, for an interview which he granted them. They spoke about religious matters for over fifty minutes, and then, once they had gained the bishop’s trust, suddenly asked him about a comment he had made about the “Holocaust” twenty years ago in Canada. The interviewer, Ali Fagan, described this question as “a shot from the hip”, and the evidence clearly showed that the interviewer had deliberately set a trap for the bishop. After Williamson had answered the question in depth, he pointed out to the interviewer that such comments are illegal in Germany and asked him not to publicze them.

The Swedish television station STV1 then approached the leading German magazine Der Spiegel with this story, which the Spiegel proceeded to publish three days before the interview was to be aired on Swedish television. As soon as the SSPX had gotten wind of this they had their lawyer, Herr Krah, get in touch with Williamson, the latter asking that the interview not be broadcast, something that was realistically not going to happen, and insisting that this interview not be made available over the internet.

When Matthias Krah contacted Bishop Williamson, he was immediately aware of the gravity of the situation saying something along the lines of “typical journalists, you can’t trust them.” STV1 nonetheless made the final five minutes of the interview available on their website, from where it was downloaded onto YouTube and went viral. By itself this was all fairly inconsequential, for who had ever heard of the SSPX, or Bishop Richard Williamson for that matter? Unfortunately, however, this was exactly the moment the Vatican welcomed the SSPX back into the fold of the Church, and to the viciously anti-ecclesiastical, i.e. Zionist, press, the idea of a “Holocaust” heretic having his excommunication revoked must have been… (highly offensive). As such the matter was blown out of all proportion, causing desired damage to the Church. All this, Loßmann argued, was not the bishop’s fault. In fact Williamson is simply a victim of foul play, and must therefore be acquitted.

The court took a thirty minute recess, during which Her Honor decided on the verdict, the grounds for which were eight pages long. The court reconvened at 3.00 p.m. for the final scene, and Judge Frahm read out the verdict: guilty, fine: 10.000 Euros, i.e. $13,500. She gave the following reasons for the verdict: Williamson had denied the “Holocaust,” and though he may be convinced that it had not taken place, this is irrelevant since history has shown the “Holocaust” to have taken place, and furthermore even the highest courts have knowledge of this subject. Richard Williamson was also aware of the fact that his opinion would reach the public, but had nonetheless continued to express it. His crime was therefore a deliberate action. The fact that the interview had gone viral on YouTube was ignored since this was certainly not the bishop’s fault and went against his express wish.

However, §130 Penal Code stipulates that “incitement of the People” (Volksverhetzung) is only established if the crime is perpetrated publicly and is intended to disturb the public peace. However, nowhere does the law stipulate that the public in question must be German! By having the interview broadcast in Sweden, millions of Swedes could see it. Ergo, these masses of people could then, feasibly, contact their friends and relatives in Germany and thus supposedly endanger the German public peace. Therefore, the bishop was found guilty and fined 10,000 Euros – and that’s the end of that.

…The defense counsel defended neither his client nor truth but merely the SSPX….

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:12 a.m. ET BERLIN (AP via The NY Times) — A German court convicted ultraconservative British Bishop Richard Williamson on Friday of denying the Holocaust in a television interview. A court in the Bavarian city of Regensburg found Williamson guilty of incitement for saying in a 2008 interview with Swedish television that he did not believe Jews were killed in gas chambers during World War II. The court ordered Williamson to pay a fine of Euro10,000 ($13,544).

The Roman Catholic bishop was barred by his order from attending Friday’s proceedings or making statements to the media. His lawyer, Matthias Lossmann, told The Associated Press after the court ruling that Williamson has yet to decide whether he would appeal. Denying the Holocaust is a criminal offense in Germany.

The court ordered a fine of euro12,000 for Williamson last year, without a trial. But the bishop appealed, forcing his case to be tried publicly. Lossmann said that Williamson had explicitly asked the Swedish television crew conducting the interview not to broadcast it in Germany.

In issuing her ruling, Judge Karin Frahm said the bishop could not have expected that the clip would show up on YouTube and be seen directly in Germany, and that led her to reduce the fine, court spokesman Bernhard Schneider told the AP. The journalists who conducted the interview ignored a court order to attend the trial, Lossmann said, leaving the judge to rely on written statements as testimony. ”That does not do a case like this justice,” Lossmann said.

The interview was conducted near Regensburg and was granted shortly before Williamson’s excommunication was lifted by Pope Benedict XVI, along with that of three other bishops from the anti-modernization movement of the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

The American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors said in a statement it welcomed the ruling as ”a symbol of modern German determination to prohibit the dissemination of Holocaust denial on its soil.”
The U.S.-based group’s vice president, Elan Steinberg, called Williamson’s remarks vile and craven and called upon his order and the Vatican to cut all ties with him.

The lifting of Williamson’s excommunication sparked outrage among Jewish groups and in Israel. The Vatican’s handling of the affair prompted criticism from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Six million Jews were killed during the Nazi Holocaust, many of them murdered in gas chambers. Williamson lives in Britain. (End quote for the AP)

(AP) – April 15, 2010 – BERLIN — A lawyer says an ultraconservative British bishop has been silenced by his Catholic order before a court hearing regarding a denial of the Holocaust.

Matthias Lossmann told The Associated Press that his client, Bishop Richard Williamson, who resides in England, has been told not appear at the Regensburg court for Friday’s hearing and to refrain from interviews and Internet activities.

Lossmann said a letter on behalf of the Switzerland-based general secretary of the Society of St. Pius X, Christian Thouvenot, advises the bishop to shut down his blog and his Web site.

Friday’s hearing regards Williamson’s appeal of a fine he was given by a German court in 2009 for incitement, in connection with an interview with Swedish TV in 2008 during which he questioned that Jews died during the Holocaust. (End quote)

HOFFMAN’S COMMENT: Bishop Williamson has no web site, just a blog which is available only by e-mail subscription. He had no intention of attending the show trial in Regensburg, so one must wonder what is the point of the claim that his order, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), has banned him from doing so. He has also been under a gag order from the SSPX for some time.

Several months ago Bishop Williamson was offered a deal by the German prosecutor for avoiding prison — if he would apologize to the Zionist community and pay a large fine. He refused both demands.

Speaking for myself and not Bishop Williamson, I observe that while he is housed and fed at the SSPX house in London and treated decently by the priests with whom he resides, he has been almost completely abandoned by his fellow bishops and priests worldwide, who will not even offer public prayers on his behalf. In last Sunday’s bulletin of the SSPX chapel in northern Idaho there was an appeal for prayers for Pope Benedict XVI who, it was said, was under “media attack.” Needless to say, there was no appeal for prayers for Williamson. Such cold-hearted mercilessness is purely rabbinic in spirit.

Despite denials by the hierarchy of the SSPX, it is rather easy to see that the false religion of Holocaustianity has infiltrated its ranks just as it has infiltrated the Vatican. Bishop Williamson would not be in any hot water with the Catholic Church if he had denied that Mohammed had flown to heaven from Al Quds, or doubted that Mormon founder Joseph Smith found the golden plates on Hill Cumorah. Williamson has been made a leper for casting doubt on a doctrine which both the Vatican and the SSPX hold sacred, the new creed of Holocaustianity.

What is sacred both to modern Catholicism and the “traditional Catholic” SSPX is the gas chamber idol of Auschwitz, about which Pope Pius XII, in the whole of his long reign as pontiff, expressed not one single word, most likely because he knew, through Vatican intelligence, that the Germans did not operate any such monstrosity.

Meanwhile the allegedly “traditional” SSPX has adopted the Auschwitz idol of Newchurch and proclaimed it a horrifying, if not unforgivable sin, for Williamson to blaspheme this holy gas chamber relic of Holocaustianity.

Bishop Williamson’s statements about execution gas chambers can only be a grave transgression in the moral and spiritual realm if the SSPX believes in Holocaustianity which, patently, they do, since they are persecuting their own bishop for having doubted it.

Here we witness a startling transformation in the priestly fraternity founded by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, akin to the astonishing alchemical spectacle of witnessing Pope John Paul II enter a synagogue and encourage the assembled Pharisees to continue in their Talmudic faith, an accursed act of betrayal which his successor has repeated three times (Matthew 26:34) in less than five years.

The ancient occult mandate for the alchemical processing of the Church is being fulfilled on schedule, before our very eyes, both within the Vatican and within its one-time traditional opposition, where doubting the lies about gas chamber extermination in Auschwitz is now a mortal sin and a cause for the public humiliation, silencing and exile of one of the bishops Msgr. Lefebvre consecrated.

For this reason alone, Richard Williamson has been expelled as seminary rector, abandoned in all but the necessities of life, and prosecuted in Germany, for the greater glory of the abominable Auschwitz idol which has replaced Calvary as the most sacred suffering in all of history. Bishop Williamson is a martyr to the defense of Our Lord’s Passion and Crucifixion against its substitution by the Auschwitz shoah-business. God help all those who have failed to lift even a finger in his defense.

Let is be noted for the record, that by an act of God, today the air space over Britain has been closed, so that even if Bishop Williamson submitted to the order from the German inquisitor, he could not comply.

The German trial, in absentia, of Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson, who resides in England, is scheduled to take place soon. Against this backdrop the Corpus Hermeticum that informs the Vatican has played its “Jew”-baiting card shortly after having played its “Jew”-worshiping card. Each “card” represents a symbolic supporting pillar of the Kabbalistic temple.

Cantalamessa’s remarks were an attempt to remind the rabbinic fraternity that the Vatican is itself a type of Talmudic-Kabbalistic operation in solidarity with the Synagogue and that, as a quid pro quo for Pope Benedict’s embrace of Holocaustianity and his pilgrimage to three synagogues during his pontificate, wherein he encouraged the assembled Pharisees to continue in their Talmudic practices, the rabbinate should call off the dogs of the media.

As Cantalamessa’s chess move failed, a coterie of cardinals then spoke in coded terms of “powerful lobbies” arrayed against the pope. This was followed by the outburst of Bishop Babini, babbling about the positive side of Hitler, and “Jews” as God killers. His B-movie rhetoric was out of a script worthy of Abe Foxman. It was intended to rally the old Catholic Right behind Pope Benedict by pressing all the buttons of the senile “antisemitism”stereotypes that have been repeatedly discredited, defeated and neutralized for fifty years.

If Bishop Babini had wanted to do serious damage to the Synagogue he would have aired hidden facts which the rabbinate greatly fear. He would have said, “These impostor Jews who exploit the good will of the Holy Father conceal the Talmudic permission for pederasty and its subsequent institutionalization within Orthodox Judaism, even as their controlled media unleash the hounds on Catholic leaders.”

No such edifying candor was forthcoming however, because no organization that sends its leader into three different synagogues to make nice with the followers of the Mishnah, Gemara and Zohar, can afford to have one of its officials turn volte-face and speak revolutionary truth, stripped of the dust of 1930s “antisemitism.” Such truth could electrify the world, constituting a profound wakeup call and leading to the rise of a movement for Christian Truth free of the bondage of an Auschwitz cultus that trumps Calvary, and an occult gnosis that nullifies the Bible.

Babini’s was a fake revolt, calculated, in addition to rallying the Catholic Right behind the synagogue-trekking Pope of Holocaustianity,  to create a dark milieu for Bishop Williamson’s forthcoming show trial in Zionist Germany, whereby Williamson is to be fixed within the stereotypical B-movie horror script, rather than within the reality of who he is and what he actually believes and advocates. The script portrays Williamson as being as half-baked as Babini, a 1930s-style “antisemite” slithering about in the 21st century, mouthing cruel and tiresome cliches about a Chosen People who are fated to be forever-persecuted by clueless Catholics.

Of course Williamson is nothing of the kind. He is decent, learned and charitable — truth telling being the highest manifestation of the spiritual works of authentic mercy. But in this Media Age of ours, the hidden persuaders seek to manufacture an image that can prevail over reality. Consequently, Babini performed his part in establishing the mise-en-scene, even as the Vatican’s alchemists play both sides against the middle, salve et coagula.

Rest assured there will be many more performances in the days ahead.

Last week I sent a letter to every Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) priory in the United States, as well as to a few additional SSPX locations in the U.S., including to Rev. Fr. Le Roux at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, and to a few SSPX chapels in Canada.

 The purpose of that letter was rather simple: to remind (or inform) the SSPX clergy of Bishop Richard Williamson‘s “Holocaust Heretic” show trial apparently set to begin on April 16 in Germany, and to request that they do whatever they could reasonably do to “to bring about a special novena for Bishop Williamson.” (A “novena” is a Catholic term for nine prayers of supplication to God for a special favor or intention, usually offered over a period of nine successive days -Ed.)  

I noted that neither my letter nor the favor requested for Bishop Williamson was known to His Excellency, much less solicited by him. Likewise, Bishop Williamson has no fore knowledge of this letter, although I will be sending him a blind copy of same (just as I sent him a copy of my aforementioned letter).

As I stated in my above referenced letter, I have been a regular attendee of SSPX chapels throughout the United States for the last thirteen years. I, along with my wife, have received great spiritual benefits from our attendance at the SSPX chapels and going to the superb Ignatian Retreats. We shall be forever grateful for all this. At the present time we have  no plans of discontinuing our attendance at the SSPX chapels. (We are presently registered attendees at Our Lady Immaculate in the Chicago area.) 

Nevertheless, I would be less than honest if I did not admit to having become utterly appalled at witnessing the ongoing treatment that Bp. Williamson has received at the hands of the SSPX Superior General and certain other SSPX clergy as a result of a few comments he made on one occasion concerning an event in history which is commonly referred to as the “Holocaust.”  The shameless and uncharitable treatment that he received speaks much more about the ones giving it than the one receiving it.

I don’t have an ax to grind here. At the same time I do not take lightly what I say here. I have invested heavily in the SSPX and I don’t like to see its integrity compromised in any way. I believe that when one of its four bishops is repeatedly ridiculed by certain of his fellow clergy in the SSPX and stigmatized and treated as some sort of pariah/marginalized outcast this should be a real cause of concern for all those who love all the good the SSPX has done, but equally abhor any scandal it may fall prey to. By scandal I mean real scandal as opposed to false scandal.

Allow me to review just a small portion of the aforementioned treatment which is of public record, keeping in mind that this may well be the tip of the iceberg compared to what has been stated or done behind the scenes:

 Bp. Fellay, the youngest of the SSPX bishops, has derogatorily referred to Bp. Williamson, the oldest of the SSPX bishops, like unto “uranium.” http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,675163,00.html. (See http://truerestoration.blogspot.com/2010/02/der-spiegel-real-story.html for the real story concerning lies told about Bishop Williamson by Der Spiegel’s reporters in the preceding linked article.)

Bp. Fellay has also derisively compared Bp. Williamson to a “grenade (and this in immediate response to novus ordo priest Fr. Thomas Rosica who was interviewing Bp. Fellay and who had just got finished mocking Bp. Williamson by referring to him as a “loose canon.” ( http://saltandlighttv.org/blog/?p=5071).

 To make matters worse, a link to this interview is actually highlighted on the homepage of the United States District of the SSPX at www.sspx.org:
S+LT CANADIAN CATHOLIC TV INTERVIEW WITH BISHOP FELLAY Interview by Fr. Thomas Rosica on June 24, 2009. [S+TL link].

 (Fr. Rosica writes a regular column for the Zionist and semi-pornographic rag otherwise know as The Toronto Star. See http://www.saltandlighttv.org/about_family_rosica.html. In one of his articles he actually repeats the official 9-11 conspiracy as a given matter of fact truth — that 9-11 was carried out by those Muslims — remember the ones who could barely fly a Piper Cub!)

Transcript:

BISHOP WILLIAMSON: “Ruling us today it’s not a party as brutal, as openly brutal as the Stalinists of Russia was. It’s not yet a police state imposing upon us to say that two and two are five. But the police state, of course, every single one of you know, is certainly closing in, both here and in the United States for sure and certain. The police state took a great leap forward with 9-11. That’s for certain.

And I hope that none of you believe that 9-11 is what it was presented to be. It was, of course, the two towers came down. But it was absolutely, for certain, not two airplanes which brought down those two towers. They were professionally demolished by a series of demolition charges from the top to the bottom of the towers. If you doubt that, look up on the internet “911Mysteries.com.”

I mention this…you may find I do mention this in sermon. Why do I keep mentioning this in sermons? Because truth is at stake. Because if the towers fell down by two airplanes, then the Party is virtually in control. The party governs the people’s minds. The party can push over all kinds of propaganda and lies, in it’s media. And if the people swallow the lies, they will be enslaved.

Our Lord said the truth will make you free. The corollary it that lies will enslave you. At the moment, the whole world is being told lies….by the media, by the government, by the politicians, by the universities, by the teachers — and the worst of all, by the highest authorities in the Church.

We are being enslaved by lies. And the most outstanding global lie of recent times to enslave the minds of all of us — or to deceive the minds, and thereby enslave us by making us all believe that the police state is a good thing, and a necessary thing, which is why the police state has advanced by leaps and bounds, as it has — is 9/11. And that’s a classic example of an enslaving lie. Two and two are five. Those towers were brought down by two airplanes, and it was an airplane which struck the Pentagon. That’s totally impossible….that an airplane struck the Pentagon. A commercial airplane has a very soft nose. You don’t have a nose of titanium or steel. That’s not what an airplane could fly with. If you tried taking off with that, it would nose-dive immediately after it lifted off the airport, if it had such a heavy nose. The nose of a commercial aircraft is very soft. It’s just a little aluminum covering…the radar of the plane is usually under the nose. The nose is very soft.

Whatever hit the Pentagon went through six, punched it’s way through six of the ten 18″ stone walls between outside the Pentagon and its inner courtyard. There are five rings of buildings, each of them with an outer and inner wall, and whatever hit the Pentagon went through six of those ten walls before it came to a stop. The photographic evidence was clear as it could be. The newspapers, of course, did not publish those photographs, but they do exist.

Then, it can only have been a guided missile which struck the Pentagon, and only guided missiles have a tough nose, titanium and steel, with an explosive charge, of two charges — one charge to penetrate the wall…and then the second charge to explode inside. And that’s exactly what the photographs show, with a fire running up and down inside the outer wall of the Pentagon.

So, we were all of us told, and I hope none of us still believe, that it was the work of three commercial airliners piloted by 19 Mohammedans, who as you may well know, seven of, at least, are notably alive and walking around. Lies. Lies. Lies.

And that’s where it’s at. Lies or truth. And you will have today some decent non-Catholics, like George Orwell, decent and intelligent men. Some decent men who realize that what’s at stake here — even before, in a certain sense…in a certain sense even before religion is brought up, even before God is in question — that is truth. Does there exist truth? Is there truth?”

Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson Denies ‘Holocaust’ Fraud -No Gas Chambers, ’6 million’ figure a gross exaggeration

Editor’s Note: There are several outright lies in this article from Der Spiegel (below). Bishop Williamson is not ill. He does not employ Orwellian “Holocaust” Newspeak and therefore does not “deny the Holocaust,” but rather the homicidal gas chamber allegation and the Kabbalistic casualty figure of six million. He did not, in Quebec (or anywhere else), call Auschwitz itself an invention, and he did not give the recent interview to French television in a room at SSPX headquarters in London.

Nevertheless, we are circulating this report because Der Spiegel is Germany’s mass market magazine and Bishop Williamson goes on trial (presumably in absentia) in Germany in April for his thought crimes. Consequently, it is important to assess what the Zionist-German media are telling the masses.

In the eyes of millions of people around the world, Bishop Williamson is an inspiring and distinguished figure, rather than an “embarrassment.” The embarrassment to Catholics is Pope Benedict XVI, who delivers soothing shibboleths to synagogue Pharisees while helping their “Shoah” theology gain firm purchase inside the Church; and certain leaders of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) who have betrayed Bishop Williamson, and their own founder, the late Archbishop Lefebvre, by rendering Williamson’s dissenting opinion about secular WWII history, grounds for negating the episcopal role for which Lefebvre consecrated him.

Bishop Williamson’s transgression is to have refused to propitiate the idol of “Holocaustianity,” which has surpassed Calvary in sacred status and on the scale of cosmic suffering. If he would only bow to this golden calf, he would regain his former responsibilities. Because he refuses this temptation, his usefulness to the SSPX is “lost,” according to the order’s superior.

Controversial Bishop Richard Williamson continues in his denial of the Holocaust, embarrassing both the Society of St. Pius to which he belongs and the Vatican. But the SSPX is becoming increasingly powerful despite the controversy and is attracting more and more supporters.

Richard Williamson’s complaints begin when he looks out the window of his office in Saint George’s House, the London headquarters of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). Just past the garden, at the base of a small hill in verdant Wimbledon Park, are a pond, golf course, croquet club and, most famously, the tennis courts.

The old man at the window likes tennis, which he admiringly calls the “greatest spectacle,” a game that involves “one spirit, one will.” In tennis, he says, it’s as if two gladiators were fighting each other, “just without bloodshed.”

But Williamson would not be true to form if he didn’t smell damnation in even the noblest of spectacles. The outfits worn by female tennis players, the bishop says indignantly, “hardly reach past the middles of their thighs.” Williamson has noticed female fans wearing even shorter skirts. “Aren’t there are any men left who tell their daughters, sisters, wives or mothers that this sort of outfit is only meant for the eyes of their own husbands?”

The world has become a smaller place for the notorious bishop. Since he denied the existence of the Holocaust on television more than a year ago, causing serious problems for Pope Benedict XVI and almost triggering a revolt against Rome by the Catholic faithful, the ultra-conservative SSPX has kept him in virtual quarantine at its Wimbledon headquarters. Bishop Bernard Fellay, the superior general of the SSPX, likens Williamson to uranium: “It’s dangerous when you have it,” he says, but you can’t “simply leave it by the side of the road.”

‘A Huge Lie’
Fellay knows what he is talking about. Williamson has no intention of revising his views on the gas chambers. When Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld sent him a book about the history of the Holocaust last year, he set it aside, unread. “The fact is that the 6 million people who were supposedly gassed represent a huge lie,” he wrote recently to his fellow members of the SSPX, noting that “a completely new world order was built” on this “fact.” The Jews, he added, “became ersatz saviors thanks to the concentration camps.”

Williamson, after refusing to pay a fine of €12,000 ($16,800), faces charges of inciting racial hatred in a trial in the southern German city of Regensburg set to begin on April 16. Although it is unclear whether he will appear at the trial in person, the bishop has already assembled a legal team that includes German lawyer Matthias Lossmann and the British attorney who once represented former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in his fight against extradition.

Both the obstinate bishop’s refusal to abandon his preposterous Holocaust theories and the trial in Regensburg are as embarrassing to the SSPX as they are to the Vatican, which is currently in direct talks with the fundamentalists. During the monthly meetings, three theologians from the SSPX sit, almost as they were participating in another Vatican council, across from three papal theologians in the Palace of the Holy Office, which is home to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and is adjacent to St. Peter’s Basilica. This is as close to the Vatican as it gets. Left-leaning and liberal theologians like Hans Küng have spent their lives dreaming in vain of such an encounter.

The 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council, also known as Vatican II, whose reforms helped to modernize the Catholic Church, is high up on the agenda of the members of the SSPX, who want to see it reversed as much as possible. For them, ecumenism is the stuff of the devil, the recognition of Judaism is a source of contention and the modern form of the liturgy is an impossible act of assimilation to the zeitgeist.

Their goal is to be recognized in Rome again after 22 years. The Vatican also wants to put an end to the division within the Church. But Williamson, who has been a thorn in the side of those seeking rapprochement, isn’t going away.

If a fundamentalist bishop like Williamson were to become unaffiliated, he would have the potential to divide the church once again. He could consecrate new priests at any time or establish his own, even more radical movement. This would be inconvenient for both Benedict and the SSPX, which is why Williamson is being tolerated.

‘These Men Are Rats’
Williamson’s refuge is a small guest room on Arthur Road in southern London, where he has a view of Centre Court at Wimbledon. The room is in a plain-looking, newer building, adorned only with two columns flanking the front door. A sign at the entrance to a chapel in the garden calls upon the faithful to pray during the SSPX’s upcoming “Rosary Crusade.” Father Lindström, a gaunt Swede, ensures that only the right people are allowed to visit Williamson.

The bishop has a reputation for being unpredictable. Sometimes he gives the staff instructions to tell visitors that he is not home, but on one occasion he sat down next to a Christmas tree for an interview with a video blogger. An interview with SPIEGEL, which had been scheduled for some time, happened to fall on a bad day. Williamson was only willing to appear on a stair landing, and even then, all that was visible of him were one of his arms and his hand wearing his bishop’s ring. His voice was easy to recognize, but he refused to speak directly with his interviewers, leaving Lindström to run up and down the stairs, delivering the questions and answers.

Later, Williamson decided to continue the interview with SPIEGEL by e-mail — even though he was only in the next room. The visit had made him very angry. “We are at war,” he raged, “and you are on the wrong side.” German liberal intellectuals are as distasteful to him as short skirts on the tennis court. “These men are, at least objectively, rats,” he wrote in a reference to SPIEGEL journalists.

Heresies and Errors

There is a strict regimen at the London headquarters of the Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Pii X, as the SSPX is called in Latin: wake up at 6:00 a.m., first prayers at 6:30, mass at 7:15, lunch at 12:45 p.m., rosary at 6:30, evening prayers at 9:00.

To the right of the entrance is the library, which has a separate cupboard for banned books. Guarded by two statues, one of Jesus and one of the Virgin Mary, a sign clearly identifies the dangerous publications in the cabinet as “Heresies/Errors.” On the top shelf is a book by the liberal German theologian Karl Rahner, a key influence on the Second Vatican Council, and next to it is a book that, though considered an authority by more than a billion Catholics, is far too modern for the SSPX: the “Catechism of the Catholic Church.”

Williamson lives on the second floor. This is where the bishop, who likes to perform lieder by Robert Schumann, removes his heavy bishop’s ring and plays works by German composers on the piano. “Music,” he says, “is an expression of harmony or disharmony in human souls.”

He also spends much of his time surfing the Internet, where he has loyal fans. There are 520 people registered as friends on his Facebook page, and hundreds read his columns on the Web, which he writes under the pen name “Dinoscopus” — a made-up word derived from dinosaur and episcopus (the Latin word for bishop). He cultivates his image as a reactionary and as keeper of the pure faith. Living in a large city is harmful, he recently pontificated while glancing at the tennis courts. It gets in the way of and destroys marriages, he said, turns young men into “washcloths” that are “washed out by liberalism,” so much so that “their common sense is diluted.”

Williamson is a sophisticated man who delivers powerful sermons. He is a literary scholar with a Cambridge degree who speaks perfect French, German and Spanish. He is also vain, appreciating refined manners and expensive clothes, and he forgets the world around him when he plays Beethoven. And he is someone who believes that no Jews were killed in the Third Reich’s gas chambers.

‘We Have Lost One of Our Four Bishops’

Bishop Fellay, Williamson’s superior, looks distressed as he sits in his office at Schwandegg Palace in Menzingen, Switzerland. He fervently hopes “that Williamson doesn’t explode.” The palace offers a sweeping view of Alpine foothills in the canton of Zug, where the old spa town sits atop a 900-meter (2,950-foot) mountain. The voices of oblates, devout lay women who help the priests run the household, can be heard in the hallways.

“We have lost one of our four bishops,” says Fellay. “We can’t use him for anything anymore.” He is struggling with himself and history, trying to find the right words and the appropriate amount of distance to the matter. He finds the whole thing “incredibly unpleasant,” and says that he had believed that “the bishop had understood things better in the meantime.” But unfortunately Williamson did not understand. Fellay says that his personal belief is that the Holocaust is “obviously” a fact.

But not all of his brothers are willing to agree. Shortly after the Williamson scandal broke in early 2009, an Italian priest, Father Floriano Abrahamowicz, speculated that the gas chambers may have been used merely “for disinfection,” and that Erich Priebke, a former captain in the SS who was involved in and later convicted of the shootings of hundreds of civilians in Italy, was in fact not an executioner. This too was “unpleasant” for the SSPX leadership.

On the other hand, the whole debate has had its advantages. Because of Williamson, the SSPX has acquired a level of notoriety unprecedented since its establishment in 1969 by the renegade French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Ultra-conservatives have always loved the Pius Brothers, and now they are becoming heroes of the right-wing, anti-modernist movement. What should a superior general like Fellay do about this?

Appealing to Extremists
“We have an appeal for extremists, who we don’t even want,” says Fellay, for whom questions of faith are ultimately the most important issues. One of those questions of faith revolves around who should have the say in religious matters in Switzerland: the church, with its beautiful churches and bell towers, or the mosques, with their minarets? This is why Fellay has fueled the recent debate in Switzerland over banning minarets. In fact, he welcomed the debate, because, as he says, Islam is “aggressive in general.”

On the other hand, the Pius disciples are perfectly calm and understanding when it comes to the mendacious and hate-filled speech coming from their own ranks. None of Williamson’s colleagues get upset when the bishop writes disparagingly about women in his blog, calling them “less than zeroes” and insisting that they are “under the power of the man.” “He should be your master,” he writes.

The Catholic brothers in Stuttgart showed their aggressive side against gays by staging a protest against the city’s Christopher Street Day parade, which celebrates gay pride. The priests held up signs that read “Save Children from Perversion,” and one of them condemned the event as “moral pollution.” He neglected to mention his fellow SSPX member’s denial of the Holocaust.

‘Fever in the Body of the Church’

To avoid misunderstandings, the ultra-conservatives have even hired their own PR specialist, Rudolph Lobmeyr, who once worked for the Austrian national public broadcaster ORF in Vienna, to explain the benefits of the Pius campaign to the public. “Fabric-softener faith is no longer wanted,” he says. He insists that people are looking for decisive leadership and want to be able to divide the world into good and evil — just as the SSPX does when it rages against gays, women and journalists. “It’s a reflection of the desires of many people, and it’s the secret to the society’s growing popularity,” Lobmeyr says.

“We are merely the thermometer indicating the fever in the body of the church,” says SSPX leader Bishop Fellay. The society claims to have 600,000 supporters. It maintains six seminaries, 14 districts, 161 priories and 725 mass centers and is active in 1,000 locations worldwide. The society is growing in the United States, Asia and Africa.

It was this potential that the pope had in mind when he lifted the excommunications of the four SSPX bishops last year. Benedict is a traditionalist and, like the Pius Brothers, he loves the Latin mass, shares their ideas about morality and sometimes despairs of modern society, which could turn a sentence Williamson uttered on a Swedish television program into a global scandal.

Fellay reports triumphantly that the pope himself — in keeping with the SSPX’s demands — apparently no longer places communion wafers into the hands of the faithful, but directly into their mouths. For Fellay, this represents yet another success in the battle against the modern church.

Growing Congregation
It is noon in the more than 700-year-old church of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet in Paris, which has been occupied by the SSPX since 1977. All masses here are mumbled in accordance with the Latin ritual, accompanied by Gregorian chants, with the priest turning his back on the congregation — all standard practices for centuries, until the Second Vatican Council destroyed the traditions. A noticeably large number of young people are kneeling on the cold stone floor, and the air is heavy with incense smoke.

The Paris branch of the SSPX has noticed a sharp increase in church attendance since the beginning of last year. The priests have had to increase their weekly supply of communion wafers by 300 wafers, so that there will be enough to place on the tongues of the faithful. Perhaps the Holocaust scandal was responsible for the rise in attendance, or perhaps the new additions to the flock were encouraged by the pope’s lifting of the excommunication of the four bishops — or perhaps both factors played a role.

France is the society’s stronghold. It now has 100,000 supporters there, and 4,000 children attend its schools. Traditionalists see the movement as the future of Catholicism.

Strange Ideas
Niklaus Pfluger has just returned from mass at Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet. In the hierarchy of the order, the Swiss priest is second only to Bishop Fellay. When Williamson shocked the church a year ago by denying the Holocaust in an interview, Fellay immediately sent Pfluger to Argentina, where Williamson was staying at the time, to stop the renegade bishop from talking to the media.

Pfluger is still puzzled about the motives of his fellow SSPX member. Sitting in the Bistrot Saint Honoré in Paris, over a plate of mussels and a glass of 2002 Ladoix 1er Cru, he attempts to piece together an explanation. Williamson, he says, happens to be a first-class provocateur and has always had strange ideas. Right away on Sept. 11, 2001, he claimed that the US government had staged the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. He also claims that it wasn’t Japan but the White House that ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor, in an effort to draw the Americans into World War II.

During a sermon in the Canadian province of Quebec in April 1989, Williamson said that the Jews had invented Auschwitz as a way to derive certain benefits. Someone filed a criminal complaint against him, and Williamson has done his best to avoid Quebec ever since.

“He is actually an artist and not a scholar,” says Pfluger. “He gets an idea into his head, becomes fixated on it and exaggerates. But he doesn’t study the documents.” He calls Williamson a “ticking time bomb” for his organization, but he also points out that the bishop has many merits, and that he shouldn’t be “exiled to the Moon.”

Unpredictable Behavior
Pfluger is also concerned about the health of the 69-year-old bishop, who has apparently had Parkinson’s disease for several years. Could this explain his moody, unpredictable behavior? Pfluger and his fellow Pius Brothers have often been irritated by the emails they receive on a regular basis from London. In a recent email, Williamson wrote that “1.3 million deported people” were not gassed in the Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec and Sobibor concentration camps, but were simply transported to the part of the Soviet Union that was occupied by Germany. Ridiculous rumors to the contrary, Williamson added, should be ignored.

The society is also aware of Williamson’s contacts with Ingrid Rimland, the wife of Ernst Zündel, who is currently in a German prison after having been convicted of incitement to Holocaust denial. Rimland continues to disseminate her husband’s theories.

The bishop is also in touch via email with Swiss Holocaust denier Jürgen Graf, who is being sought by German, French and Swiss authorities. Graf believes that the idea of extermination camps was a Jewish invention. He plans to publish a new book about the Sobibor extermination camp, where about 250,000 Jews were killed in the gas chambers, entitled “Sobibor. Myth and Reality.” Graf says that he hopes Williamson will “write an introduction” to his book.

The priests paid particular attention when Williamson, at the beginning of the year, described his sojourn in London as an “unplanned but pleasant sabbatical.” It sounded as if he had had enough of the tennis skirts at Wimbledon, and was ready to start speaking out in public again.

Yesterday we posted the link to the video of a recent interview Bishop Williamson gave in French to Pierre Panet,  a former candidate for the European elections on the pro-Palestinian ticket of the black revisionist, Dieudonne M’bala M’bala. (Dieudonne was fined the equivalent of $30,000 by a French court for giving a public platform to Prof. Robert Faurisson, a leading World War II revisionist historian). Here follows a transcript of the Panet-Williamson interview translated into English.


Panet: My Lord, hello. Thank you for having accepted this interview. You haven’t done many interviews since February 24 2009 when you had to leave Argentina speedily. How are you doing?

Williamson: I’m doing well, thank you. This is an unexpected sabbatical year, but it’s rather agreeable.

Panet: When did you learn to speak French so well?

Williamson: Since my childhood, well good schools in England were still good schools, and the first foreign language we learned was French.

Panet: And you taught French also?

Williamson: Yes, I did. Yes.

Panet: Can you tell us about the case that is currently being made against you by the courts of Regensburg?

Williamson: It is for Volksverhetzung “racial excitement” because I put into question the 6 million Jews and to question that in Germany is a crime according to German law. Therefore they attack me.

Panet: How are you exercising your ministry at the moment?

Williamson: In sleeping and eating and also I do a blog every week which keeps me occupied with translations, but not much else for the moment. It’s rest.

Panet: Can you give me the link/reference for your blog?

Williamson: You have to access it by http://dinoscopus.blogspot.com/ and dinoscopus is half-dinosaur and half-bishop in Latin. Scopus is the second half of “episcopus” and dino the first half of “dinosaur.” So Dinoscopus. But then after one must obtain a password to get on it because we didn’t want it to be public.

Panet: Thank you. Now some questions about current affairs. Some questions about the Middle East. There are some Christians in the Middle East. How do you analyze their situation in relation to resistance groups in Israel such as Hamas or Hezbollah?

Williamson: I know nothing about the relationship between the Christians in the Middle East and these groups of the Arab resistance. All that I know is that there are fewer and fewer Christians in the Holy Land because they are chased out. They do not want them in the Holy Land, therefore out. There are no doubt many ways in which to make pressure, and they leave.

Panet: Does the dialogue between Christians and Muslims seem to you as difficult to establish?

Williamson: There are two questions here. There is the question of peoples and the question of religions. On a question of peoples, good sense suffices for living together, doesn’t it? On the question of religions, for a Catholic who takes seriously the Catholic faith, it’s the only religion which is completely true. All other religions are more or less true, more or less false. Therefore on the religious plane there can be no agreement. It is not possible. But always, in the many of the countries of the Middle East, Christians and Muslims have lived together in peace for centuries because of the force of things. Each recognised that he would not convert the other, therefore we lived together.

There was a cohabition/co-existence. From time to time this was disrupted by a war. Now it is quite disrupted in all the Middle East and has been since 1947 one might say and we don’t know how it will end.

Panet: Now a question about Iran. What should a real Christian do in the face of all this Eastern current—the so-called Christian-Jewish-Lay—which advocates confrontation?

Williamson: The whole question is to know whether a war against Iran would be a Just War and for a Catholic according to the classic principles (and known for centuries) of the Catholic doctrine of Just War. Would it be just to attack Iran? I do not believe that it would be just to attack Iran, according to that Catholic doctrine.

Panet: The state of Israel: Does it have religious or political legitimacy?

Williamson: The question is obviously delicate. Let us say that many people believe it is legitmate. This does not necessarily mean that it is.

Panet: Three questions on faith. Should we not consider the New Testament in being in rupture from the Old Testament and among other things do you believe in the existence of a Chosen People?

Williamson: Well, those are two questions. Firstly, is there rupture between the chrysalis and the butterfly?

Panet: No.

Williamson: Well, that is the exact relationship between the Old Testament and the New. Because St Augustin says the New Testament is hidden in the Old and the Old becomes clear in the New. [Williamson then quotes the Latin] Yes, that’s the Latin. It is one of those lapidary statements that St Augustine makes which says a lot in a few words.

Panet: What about the Chosen People?

Williamson: There was a Chosen People. The Old Testament had its chosen people. It was the Hebrews and in the moment of Our Lord’s death on the Cross, the Chosen People are no longer chosen according to the flesh or the physical descendents from Abraham… It becomes as St Paul explains clearly in his epistles… the Chosen People are chosen by the faith and descendents from Abraham is through the faith. This means all Catholics and all the Jews who believe and all non-Jews who believe. There are no longer Jews-elect and non-Jews-non-elect, it’s Jew and non-Jew elect if he has the Faith. Everything depends on a faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Panet: How do you consider faith and reason? The distinction that Kant makes between the “noumenon”a nd the “phenomenon.”

Williamson: Imagine an enormous F with a tiny R pressed against the foot of the F. That is faith and reason. Faith infinitely surpasses reason, therefore the supernatural exceeds the natural. Nature is this poor little world that surrounds us with creatures, the sky, the stars, the mountains, the tigers, man. That’s nature. The supernatural: it’s all heaven, it’s all God. The supernatural is infinitely more than the natural. Reason gives us a natural access to nature which is valid in and of itself and neither misunderstood, nor stamped on, nor crushed by the supernatural. [He quotes from Aquinas] Gratia non tollit naturam. Grace does not crush nature. Grace is celebrated by nature. It’s God who has created nature so that man can arrive in heaven. Therefore it is not possible to have a war between grace and nature. It does not stand up. God created both. Equally reason faith, it is God who gives us both our reason and the gift of faith. The two are not contradicting each other. Good reason is perfectly aligned with real faith and it is only false reason which is not aligned with faith and false faith which is not aligned with reason. But the two in themselves are perfectly aligned.

Panet: How do you argue that one can intellectually conceive God but not feel his profound existence? It’s my body. Intellectually I can conceive God.

Williamson: Religion is not a question of feeling. It’s a question of intelligence and will. You have just said that your intelligence can conceive God, therefore your intelligence is the most important part. The feelings/emotions will follow at the end. You are perfectly entitled to say: ‘Lord I do not feel you in anything. I understand with my intelligence that you exist and that you are listening and I pray to you, without feeling it, but I pray.’

Panet: What about “noumenon” and “phenomenon”?

Williamson: The distinction that Kant makes is very dangerous because he concludes that we can only know appearances. Beyond that we cannot know anything. It’s the destruction of reason, theology, the destruction of knowledge and the destruction of the human spirit. And that is the disaster that surrounds us the whole world over. Kant: he’s a criminal of the first order. A criminal.

Panet: But he finds faith again?

Williamson: No, no, no, no, no. Listen. What I want exists. I want God. Therefore God exists. Does that seem good to you?

Panet: Yes

Williamson: Well, no. It is not the desire which creates the reality. You wish for a million euros in your pocket? Do you have them? No. They are not real. Just because I want God doesn’t mean he’s real. I want Father Christmas, that doesn’t mean he exists.

Panet: I’ll think it over.

Williamson: Place some confidence in your intelligence and don’t let it rot by the [word missing…I couldn’t hear it] of Kant.

Panet: And what do you know of the latest between the negotiations between the Fraternity [Society of St Pius X] and the Vatican?

Williamson: I think it will finish by becoming a dialogue of the deaf, because of two things. One: The two positions in themselves are irreconcilable. For example 2+2=4 and 2+2=5 it’s irreconcilable. Therefore of three things, one: either they say 2+2=4 , renounce reality and say 2+2=5 –that is to say the Fraternity would abandon the truth that God forbids us to do or that those who say that 2+2=5 convert and return to the truth or the two come half-way, that means everyone decides that 2+2=4 ½ . It’s wrong. Therefore, either the Fraternity betrays itself or Rome converts, or it is a dialogue of the deaf.

Panet: Still on questions of faith: Did Judas lose the pardon of God?

Williamson: He refused the forgiveness of God.

Panet: Do you mean if he had asked for it he would have received it?

Williamson: Absolutely. With repentance. If he had repented and thrown himself at the foot of the Cross, Our Lord would have forgiven him. Absolutely.

Panet: My last question: I believe that you admire Beethoven a great deal? Which is your favourite work, which touches your heart the most?

Williamson: The Third Symphony. The first movement of the Eroica.

Pierre Panet interviews Bishop Richard Williamson in London. The interview is conducted entirely in French.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dec. 7, 2009 – The German State Prosecutor has excluded the possibility of a pre-trial, out-of-court settlement in the case of Roman Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson’s alleged “Holocaust denial” statements which were filmed in Germany in 2008 and broadcast on Swedish television earlier this year. A possible trial date is said to be considered for late February or early March. The 28-year-old female judge in the case desires Bishop Williamson to be personally present at the trial, so that “he can explain what were his motives in saying what he said on Swedish television.” She “wishes to judge his answers in person.”

Bisho Williamson, an English native, currently resides in London, after being fired from his position as rector of his seminary in Argentina. He was then expelled from the country by the government under pressure from Zionist groups.

Truly we are living in a new dark age, only worse. In the dark ages, heresy hunters and inquisitors did not claim to be liberals, humanists and democrats like the Germans of today who lecture Muslims on the need to tolerate insults to Mohammed, while fining Bishop Williamson $16,822 for naughty statements he made about alleged Auschwitz execution gas chambers. This is so infantile it is ludicrous.

There is no toleration for blasphemy against Judaism’s religious relics, while Christians and Muslims must tolerate blasphemy against Jesus and Mohammed. We are ruled by the Talmud. This is what we are fighting for in Afghanistan and Iraq.

German court fines Holocaust-denying bishop

(AP) – Oct. 27, 2009

BERLIN — An ultraconservative British bishop was fined $16,822 (euro12,000) in Germany for denying the Holocaust in an interview with Swedish television, his lawyer said Tuesday.

A court in the Bavarian city of Regensburg issued the fine against Richard Williamson for incitement in connection with his Holocaust denial, Williamson’s lawyer Matthias Lossmann said.

“We received the order of punishment on Monday and my client has time until Nov. 9 to react to it,” Lossmann said. He gave no indication how Williamson would react.

An order of punishment is a German legal tool that involves no trial but is equivalent to a conviction if accepted by the defendant. If the defendant objects, it goes to trial.

The investigation of whether Williamson broke German laws against Holocaust denial was launched after the interview was aired earlier this year. In it, Williamson said he didn’t believe any Jews were killed in gas chambers during World War II.

The interview was conducted near Regensburg and was granted shortly before Williamson’s excommunication was lifted by Pope Benedict XVI, along with that of three other bishops from the anti-modernization movement of the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

The lifting of Williamson’s excommunication sparked outrage among Jewish groups and in Israel. The Vatican’s handling of the affair prompted criticism from German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Earlier this month, Williamson was quoted by the weekly Der Spiegel as saying he tried to have an injunction issued to block the interview’s release in Germany.

“I tried to … prevent my interview with Swedish television from being broadcast in Germany via the Internet,” Williamson was quoted as saying. He could use that argument should the case go to trial.
