Quote from: Martin Blackshaw

A bishop should be concerned only with the salvation of souls.
Our Lord told His disciples to go and spread the Gospel to all nations, not rant against real or perceived enemies of the Church. We are supposed to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. Is that what Bishop Williamson does? Is His Lordship an image of Our Lord on the road to Calvary, or is he like the impetuous Peter who cut off the ear of the High Priest’s servant?

Odd, is it not, that anyone in Germany may doubt the Resurrection of Christ and the Virgin Birth or even the very existence of Jesus, with complete freedom and no fear of prosecution? Yet to doubt the homicidal gas chambers of Auschwitz is a crime punishable by five years’ imprisonment. Pope John Paul II called Auschwitz the new Golgotha and this writer has for decades argued that Auschwitz has replaced Calvary as the central and defining pole star in the western ontology of sacred suffering. Would it not be safe to say that the evidence for this revolutionary reversal can be found in the criminal penalties attached to so-called “h0Ɩ0cαųst denial” and the freedom by which "Resurrection denial” and even denial that Jesus ever existed, are promoted throughout the media, academia and the Internet?

Bishop Williamson never “denied the h0Ɩ0cαųst.”
He did undertake a very human and Biblical act -- he doubted a Judaic fable (Titus 1:14), that six million Judaic persons died and many of them perished in "gas chambers" in Auschwitz.

I guess my question is going to go unanswered.

It might be self-evident to you and those who think like you do, but if you're going to level a serious charge like calumny (lying about a person) you should at least try and spell your charge out clearly.

Otherwise, you look like a crank.

John Grace accused Aquinas of calumny, correct?
