Nay Sayer No More  

The German Chancellor gets it. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone gets it. Even some of the archbishops get it. But the Pope doesn't get it.

In the last couple of weeks, the Catholic Church has been having its own little drama escapades with the Pope. The German Pope, Pope Benedict, allowed a Holocaust denier back into his posse at the Vatican. Uproar did in fact arise after this idiotic welcome back party ensued with big hats and even bigger imbeciles.

So the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, basically called the Pope and said, in so many words, that enough was enough and to kick the old man out already. However, Pope Benedict decided to stay with his decision of letting Bishop Richard Williamson stay, even though he's obviously mentally inadequate. I mean, he flat out denies that over 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. He stated,

"believe that the historical evidence is strongly against -- is hugely against -- 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler," Williamson said recently in an interview with a Swedish television station, which also appeared on various Web sites after its broadcast. "I believe there were no gas chambers."

He went on to say this: "If I find this proof, then I will correct myself," he said. "But that will require some time."

Okay so there are a couple of things in these statements that I have beef with. For example, numero uno: why would so many people believe that all these Jews died at the hands of Adolf Hitler if it didn't happen? Deniers versus believers is a very drastic number. Does he think Jews made it up? Did a group of Jews from Germany get together and say, "Oh you know what we should do this year? We should totally fake out the world by saying a whole bunch of us died because that schmuck Hitler was an evil bastard. Meanwhile, we'll hide everyone out in Russia." No. I don' think so.

Second, his statement about finding proof. A.) He will never correct himself because he doesn't want to. B.) What MORE does he want? Hey Bishop? Got off your lazy ass and go to Auschwitz. I think that's enough proof for you. Or check out some of the photos that were taken by Allies when they reached concentration camps. There is, believe it or not, some gas chambers there. So unless you would prefer a time machine so you can go back into time and witness this massacre personally, it's not going to take any time at all.

So the good news is, after all of this, the Vatican wants him to recant or go away quietly. Pope Benedict hasn't actually been the leader of this movement, but I think there are enough bishops and archbishops and whoever else lives there that doesn't want bad publicity, and might actually think that Williamson is a scumbag.

What is interesting is that this Bishop lived in Argentina (a place where Nazi's ran to in order to bypass punishment) and that the Pope was in a Nazi group as a child. I don't care how many people tell me that he was not in this group willingly, something rubbed off on him. And I'm not going to change my mind until I find some proof. And that will require some time.
