PanARMENIAN.Net - Bishop Richard Williamson, who has denied the
Holocaust, was expelled from a radical Catholic sect for disobeying
his superiors, Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported.
Williamson was expelled from the Society of Saint Pius X, which
opposes Church reforms decided by the second Vatican Council, the
society said Wednesday, Oct 24. The British bishop is opposed to
recent society efforts to reintegrate into the Catholic Church.
Williamson gave an interview just before the rehabilitation to
the Swedish SVT broadcaster in which he called the murder of Jews
in gas chambers during the Holocaust "lies, lies, lies." He also
allegedly denied that any Jews were murdered in gas chambers during
the Holocaust and insisted that not more than 300,000 European Jews
were killed in total.
