Pope's Holocaust denier agrees to investigate whether Holocaust actually happened

[Are_grits_groceries]

The Pope's favorite new bishop, who doesn't think the Holocaust happened, has agreed to do a little more digging, to see if any new evidence has come up in the past couple of years to prove that the Holocaust actually occurred. But he warns, it might take a long time to find such evidence.

On Wednesday, the Vatican demanded that Williamson recant his denial before he can be admitted as a bishop into the Roman Catholic Church. Williamson made clear he does not plan to comply immediately, the weekly Der Spiegel reported.

"Since I see that there are many honest and intelligent people who think differently, I must look again at the historical evidence," the British bishop was quoted as saying.

"It is about historical evidence, not about emotions," he added, according to the report. "And if I find this evidence, I will correct myself. But that will take time."

3. What a tool. I can't believe they still talk to this guy...

5. Wanna bet?

He does most of his research poring through books by fellow Holocaust deniers?

6. oh no kidding -- he'll probably contact that doofus that traveled to

the camps who verified that they weren't used as killing machines. :eyes:

7. if he hasn't "found evidence" by now, I don't think anything new will "come up."

why are they even bothering with this asshole? If this is the pope's "favorite new bishop," I'd hate to think of what his "least favored" is like.

8. How about 45 minutes in the Holocaust Museum n/t

If artifacts and photographs and testimonials constitutes evidence.

9. All he needs to be Clockwork Orange'd watching Survivors of Shoah

My grandfather has his story documented with the Survivors of the Shoah - and he showed me his tattoo from Auschwitz.

All numbers after the letter A.

10. He also thinks that women should not wear pants and "The Sound of Music"

Was the work of Satan.

I hope he stays in the news because he destroys the Pope's credence.

12. He has enough evidence that Jesus rose from the dead, but not for the

Holocaust. Great.

Perhaps the Israelis know something. Or maybe the Germans.
