Vatican Orders Bishop Richard Williamson to Recant Position on Holocaust

The Vatican has ordered Bishop Richard Williamson to recant his past statements in which he clearly denied the atrocities Jewish people were subjected to by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Bishop Williamson recently had his excommunication from the Catholic Church lifted but the Vatican has insisted the Pope was unaware of his past statements regarding the Holocaust prior to lifting the excommunication.

While Bishop Williamson has acknowledged that several hundreds of thousands died in concentration camps during World War II he has denied the use of gas chambers. He had been excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church nearly two decades ago on unrelated matters.

Following the controversy of Bishop Williamson’s return the Vatican issued a statement saying, “Bishop Williamson, in order to be admitted to the Episcopal functions of the Church, must in an absolutely unequivocal and public way distance himself from his positions regarding the Shoah [Holocaust].”

Last month the Pope lifted the excommunication of Bishop Williamson and three other bishops who belong to the ultra-conservative Society of Pius X which has refused to recognize the reforms made during Vatican II Council.
