How many other Catholics believe the Jewish Holocaust never happened?
The very small percentage of Catholics who believe the Holocaust never happened is probably about the same as Protestants who believe it never happened. The Catholic Church excommunicates people for serious crimes against the Church and not for ignorance or stupidity. To the best of my knowledge, these “bishops” were excommunicated for being ordained as bishops without the Pope’s permission which is against both Church Tradition and Church Law. It is well within the Pope’s rights to reconcile with these men if that is what he wishes. Let’s hope that these men will lead the SSPX into rightful Church Tradition. Remember the purpose of excommunication is the correction and redemption of the person who has chosen to separate himself or herself from the Church.
