Kaphoen Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm not certain that this is the correct section in which to post this as it is a topical story that relates to some of France's history.Having viewed the video, I cannot possibly understand what it is that makes this man make such statements.Bishop denies holocaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Best ignored and treated with the contempt he deserves.Still (I believe), he has apologised, so that makes it OK. Thus a much less heinous crime than Thatcher's gaffe. [:'(] Oh and before anybody jumps all over me (and not wanting to start a rival thread), she was an idiot who should have known better, but it has already received 1000x the coverage it deserved. Far more important things happening in the world and the people responsible for blowing it all up in the first place should just have 'read her palm' and left it at that.

odile Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 but what on earth made the Pope decide to reinstate him???? My dad was excommunicated for marrying a divorced protestant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Odile, nice to see you back. I hope all is you are well. I'll catch up with you on 'qui veut chatter'. The pope was trying to heal a schism in the church. He needs better advisors. The bishop was one of a group of traditionalists excommunicated following the modernisation in the 1970's. I think the bishop lost his 'job' in Argentina(?) following these revelations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have said before elsewhere - religion is the biggest cause of inhumanity, and the RC church is one of the worst offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I watched the video given at the beginning of the thread. I initially thought it quite repulsive and incredibly insulting especially to those that died in the Holocaust and the survivors that are still around. I watched it again and then realised the guy does not believe it himself really if you watch his body language. Anyway he is a disgrace to his 'cloth' and to humanity in general. He needs to go on a trip to Auschwitz, the Holocaust museum in Israel, or similar. Then see if he spouts the same rubbish, perhaps one word will do... Idiot.
