Regensburg, Germany - Amid a storm of outrage from Jєωs [expected], Catholics [sort of expected] and fellow traditionalists [NOT expected; and, oh by the way, "traditionalists" are Catholic], a right-wing Catholic bishop, Richard Williamson, was declared unwelcome Wednesday in the German city where he appeared to deny  the h0Ɩ0cαųst last week.  [So, merely the "appearance" of "denial" is a thoughtcrime?]  To end a schism, Rome last week lifted its excommunication of four men who ran the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) outside the church for more than 20 years. British-born Williamson, who runs a seminary in Argentina, was one of them.

Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, the Catholic bishop of the German city of Regensburg, said Wednesday that Williamson would not be allowed to set foot in his cathedral or any other church property.

The claim that the nαzι gas chambers had never existed, and "only 200,000 to 300,000 Jєωs" had been killed by the nαzιs were "inhuman" and "sacrilegious," Mueller said. [Sacrilegious?  According to whom?]

The diocese released its response a day after a h0Ɩ0cαųst memorial service in Regensburg, which is also the home base of Pope Benedict XVI and the site of a papal speech that upset Muslims in 2006.

Mueller said Williamson had placed himself outside the church. [Is that so?  Why?  What heresy did he speak?]

Aides conceded that Mueller's ban was more symbolic than disciplinary, since Mueller has no control over the SSPX or its training centre at Zaitzkofen in his diocese. [Deo gratias!]

Public prosecutors have opened an inquiry against Williamson over his remarks last week at Zaitzkofen. h0Ɩ0cαųst denial is a crime in Germany. [That is to say, forming a politically-incorrect opinion about a specific historical event is illegal in Germany]

The German Conference of Catholic Bishops has also rejected Williamson's remarks. In Rome, Pope Benedict XVI expressed "solidarity" Wednesday with the Jєωιѕн people [Okay, let me get this straight...  The Pope--head of the Catholic Church--expressed solidarity with the Jєωιѕн people who, by definition, deny just about every tenet of our Faith?] and said the reality of the h0Ɩ0cαųst cannot be cancelled through any form of denial.  [Well, that's his opinion...]

On Wednesday, the Israeli Chief Rabbi officially broke off ties with the Vatican in protest at the decision to lift the excommunication on Williamson. [Good.  At least some good has come from this.]

The SSPX publicly dissociated itself on Tuesday from Williamson. [Shameful and scandalous.  Does that mean he's been "excommunicated" from the SSPX?  Does that mean he wont be able to teach at the Seminary in Argentina?  What does this mean?]

Historical research using population data suggests between 5 million and 6 million European Jєωs were killed by privation and violence during the Second World War. The Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem estimates it has names of up to 4 million.

Hundreds of thousands of Jєωs were "exterminated" with gas at Auschwitz death camp.
