Over the years and up to the present day a number of references on other threads have been made to the two public apologies His Lordship, Bishop Williamson made in connection to his public h0Ɩ0cαųst remarks in the latter part of 2008 which aired in early 2009. In that regard, I thought it might be helpful to quote verbatim and in their entirety his two public apologies. They are seen below.
A good number of traditional Catholics including myself believe the good bishop should never have offered any sort of apology, let alone a public one and not only one, but two.
I make no judgment whatsoever on the subjective state of mind Bp. Williamson had at the time which may have made him feel compelled to offer these apologies. He may well have done it with all the best of intentions. I just believe, and very strongly so, that he was under absolutely no objective moral obligation to render such apologies. Aside, from that I think the apologies caused far more harm than good and certainly worked directly into the hands of the sworn enemies of Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother Church.
The Shoah Theology as a part of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr's false religion is continuing to make great strides in replacing the Theology of Calvary. More and more we are living in a world where you are more or less free to blaspheme to your wicked heart's content our Divine Lord and His Blessed Mother, but heaven forbid you even question the 'sacred' six million gas chamber myth.
The Shoah Theology, aside from being the false basis for a huge money making racket (cf. The h0Ɩ0cαųst Industry by Norman Finkelstein) is a horribly monstrous calumny against Christianity in general and the German people in particular. Something is extremely wrong with this whole rotten picture.
Apology Letter of Bishop Richard Williamson
Mgr Richard Williamson
To His Eminence Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos
Your Eminence
Amidst this tremendous media storm stirred up by imprudent remarks of mine on Swedish television, I beg of you to accept, only as is properly respectful, my sincere regrets for having caused to yourself and to the Holy Father so much unnecessary distress and problems.
For me, all that matters is the Truth Incarnate, and the interests of His one true Church, through which alone we can save our souls and give eternal glory, in our little way, to Almighty God. So I have only one comment, from the prophet Jonas, I, 12:
"Take me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you."
Please also accept, and convey to the Holy Father, my sincere personal thanks for the docuмent signed last Wednesday and made public on Saturday. Most humbly I will offer a Mass for both of you.
Sincerely yours in Christ
+Richard Williamson
Written to Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos on January 28, 2009.

DECLARATION
The Holy Father and my Superior, Bishop Bernard Fellay, have requested that I reconsider the remarks I made on Swedish television four months ago, because their consequences have been so heavy.
Observing these consequences I can truthfully say that I regret having made such remarks, and that if I had known beforehand the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise, especially to the Church, but also to survivors and relatives of victims of injustice under the Third Reich, I would not have made them.
On Swedish television I gave only the opinion (..."I believe"..."I believe"...) of a non-historian, an opinion formed 20 years ago on the basis of evidence then available and rarely expressed in public since. However, the events of recent weeks and the advice of senior members of the Society of St. Pius X have persuaded me of my responsibility for much distress caused. To all souls that took honest scandal from what I said before God I apologise.
As the Holy Father has said, every act of injust violence against one man hurts all mankind.
