New York, NY, September 16, 2011 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) urges the Vatican to ensure that a breakaway Catholic sect which teaches anti-Judaism will be required to accept the church's official positive teachings about Jews and Judaism before they are fully accepted back into the Roman Catholic Church.

The Vatican announced earlier this week that in order for The Society of St. Pius X to gain full reconciliation with the church, SSPX must accept some core church teachings, but they have not been made public.

It was unclear from news reports and Vatican statements whether the landmark reforms of the Second Vatican Council and subsequent Vatican teachings - which reversed nearly 2,000 years of church-based anti-Semitism, repudiated the deicide charge against Jews, and called for positive and respectful interfaith relations - were included among these latest requirements.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a h0Ɩ0cαųst survivor, issued the following statement:

"We are confident that Pope Benedict XVI will continue to require the Society of St. Pius X, which espouses anti-Semitic and anti-Jєωιѕн beliefs, to publicly accept the church's positive teachings about Jews and Judaism since the 1965 Second Vatican Council, before fully accepting them back into the Roman Catholic Church.

It would be unthinkable to allow a Catholic breakaway sect that includes a h0Ɩ0cαųst-denying bishop, Richard Williamson, to be reintegrated into the church while still being allowed to promote anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism - which they have been doing for years in their teachings and on their Web site.

We trust Pope Benedict's promise that he made to us during our meeting in 2007 that he would stand with us against all forms of anti-Semitism."

Siscoe:  So you’re not Jєωιѕн?  No Jєωιѕн background?  You were baptized a Catholic as a child?

Krah:  Of course, I am a Catholic.  



Siscoe:  Are you a Freemason?


Krah: No I am not a Freemason, and never have been.




Well then there ya have it, all nicely wrapped up by the Remnant.  The great and wonderful krah is now cleared of any and all accusations because he says he's not a mason or a jew.

Not wasting anytime are we Menzingen?  You didn't even wait for Bishop Williamson to shut the door on his way out before you 1. make it clear you are headed for Rome now that the obstacle like that pesky truthman +Williamson won't be there to stop you, and 2. you just couldn't wait to clear the good name of your bud Krah.  Something you couldn't do while Bishop Williamson was still on board.


The enemies of God must be very proud of you.

Remember, too, that after the first Der Spiegel hatchet job on Williamson, Krah turned up at the British HQ of the SSPX in London at short notice and sought to get Williamson to do a second interview with the disreputable magazine. Williamson refused to do so, in spite of the fact that Krah had come with these journalists with the express sanction of Bishop Fellay! How in God’s name could Mgr. Fellay have thought that a second bite at the apple by Der Spiegel journalists would help the cause of Williamson or the SSPX? Go figure.

This article and interview appears on The Remnant's website. It was an interesting read, though I found the interview less than convincing in terms of dispelling the accusations against him. I should add that I am not a regular SSPX Chapel-goer and thus do not really have a horse in this race so to speak. Here was a comment I posted on another blog which linked to the same article:

"As what I would assume to be a rather impartial observer (I am not a regular SSPX attendee, etc.), I must admit that I did not find the interview with Mr. Krah all that convincing.

He seems to obfuscate the real question about the State of Israel by refusing to address the theoretical question and instead stating that the practical situation is not so bad so we ought not to worry. That does little to dispel accusations, be they factual or not, of him being a Zionist.

Furthermore, his last point about how he would attend another Friends of Tel Aviv event, comes across as immature and confrontational. He ought not to be supporting such a group, and even if going to a reception is not supporting them per se, plenty of folks quite understandably interpret it as such, so why the insipid and childish "I will do what I want" trope?

Also, if Mr. Krah has no share in internal affairs of the SSPX as he states, and those things are solely within the purview of the SSPX authorities, then why does he feel the need to insert his editorial comment about +Williamson having "openly underminded authority and hierarchy?"

He basically seems to think that Catholics=Republicans, and that Jews now are the same sort of Jews as Our Lord, Our Lady, and St. Joseph. As I said, unconvincing."

It is disconcerting that the current lawyer representing the SSPX who also has access to its finances adhere to Neo- conservative Zionist principles. .

Seriously? The State of Israel is a country which has for its official religion one born of denying the Messias and based upon a blasphemous book. It is a religion regularly condemned by Church Fathers and Pontiffs. It is an insidious and terrorist State which seeks to co-opt the U.S. and Europe into doing its own public relations and international dirty work, and happily takes many foreign funds from these countries. It is a country which has no legal right to exist because it occupies stolen land.

And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. [7] But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
