This came from one of my Catholic Email groups. I thought you all would be interested. I am not surprised, because he reinstated a White Nationalist Bishop who has so far shown that he has not changed his views and repented of his views that seem so different than Jesus’s views. The first time I heard of the book mentioned in this peice was when I was with Jeff and he wanted me to understand why the Jews were so evil and out to destroy the White Race. This Bishop from the views he holds is a White Nationalist. I really have to wonder what the direction of the church is going when we have White Nationalists reinstated and those who want to see women play a greater role in the church treated with condmenation.
I wonder if the Pope can reverse the reinstatement on the grounds he wasn’t aware of his White Nationalists views?
Chief Rabbinate breaks Vatican ties
JERUSALEM, Jan. 28 (UPI) — The Chief Rabbinate of Israel says it has suspended ties with the Vatican following the pope’s decision to lift the excommunication of a Holocaust denier.
Chief Rabbinate Director-General Oded Weiner wrote in a letter to Vatican officials that because of Pope Benedict’s decision to reinstate Britain’s Bishop Richard Williamson “without a public apology and recanting, it will be difficult to continue the dialogue,” The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday.
Weiner addressed the letter to Cardinal Walter Casper, chairman of the Holy See’s Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, saying he had canceled a meeting scheduled for March in Rome, the newspaper reported.
Pope Benedict last week attempted to heal a decades-old rift between the Church and a band of ultra-conservative bishops belonging to the Society of St. Pius, which opposed changes in Catholic doctrine made in the 1960s. Benedict lifted excommunications that had been imposed on the four, including that of Richardson, who has told interviewers he doesn’t believe any Jews died in Nazi gas chambers.
The Post said Richardson has also reportedly endorsed the anti-Semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion and claims that Jews are bent on world domination.
The lifting of the excommunication is more complicated than the one moron Williamson; Read this first:

That would give you an understanding of the procedure that it is in place.

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel either doesn’t understand the situation, or is just grand standing.
