Pope reinstates Holocaust-denying bishop

He does make a few interesting points. It makes me want to investigate my history further. That being said, I think he's a little naive to think that because the doors were not air tight and because the bodies were contaminated did not mean that Jewish people themselves were not forced to do the 'dirty work' of getting the bodies out (with no regard for their safety of course).

Also interesting is this bishop's interpretation on the importance of historical facts..and..he believes in a burning bush. hmmm

He makes his argument very well, I have to give him that.

I also don't see the connection between Holocaust-denial and antisemitism. Not believing the Holocaust happened may make you a lot of things (crazy, stupid, ignorant) but it doesn't mean you hate the Jews.

It doesn't sound like he's actually a Holocaust denier as much as he just doesn't believe it happened the way we've all been taught.

Only regarding a very specific time frame.

David Irving getting busted in Austria for denying the holocaust comes to mind.

It's actually illegal in some countries to question the historical record?

This fucker cites the work of Fred Leuchter as evidence that gas chambers didn't exist. (Fred Leuchter's story was documented in the fascinating Errol Morris film Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.). His so-called "expertise" is a joke, and his "investigation" of Auschwitz has been completely discredited. This bishop must certainly know this about Leuchter, because he's not a complete idiot. Nonetheless he lies through his teeth simply by claiming Leuchter's investigation is valid in some way.

Fuck him. I think he's anti-semitic, and he's using the Leuchter bullshit as confirmation of this. This is called confirmation bias. Who would want to support such an outrageous claim? I can't see a way around his anti-semitism.

This doesn't surprise me, sadly. I went to Catholic grade school and high school, and I encountered more than a couple of nuns and priests who, how shall I say, weren't fond of the "Christ-killers." One more reason I became an atheist.

Anyone who believes in something as childish and stupid as religion, need not be taken seriously in any sort of scientific discourse. This man lives and dies by the *lies he espouses and is therefore *terrible in every sense of the word.
