Denying the Pope
According to recent news, people are upset that the pope reinstated a holocaust denying bishop. I myself find the following quote from the Reuters article interesting:
“Especially from a German pope, I would have expected more understanding and sensitivity,” Graumann said. “The fact that this comes from a German pope leaves a certain taste and provokes certain feelings.”
Shouldn’t Mr. Graumann instead said “Especially from a German pope who was a Hitler Youth that lived near a concentration camp and eventually served in the Nazi war machine…”, because it’s true.
People shouldn’t be so quick to judge the pope for going soft on this holocaust denier. For all we know, during the meeting when he re-instated Bishop Richard Williamson maybe he busted out the his old family photo albums to help convince the misguided bishop that the Holocaust was real.
