If a Catholic Bishop Denies the Holocaust for “Intellectual” Reasons, Does That Make It Okay?
The short answer is NO. The basic facts around the Holocaust have been so thoroughly documented by historians that for someone with reasonable intelligence to deny those facts, and the convergence of those facts, is evidence of gross anti-intellectual prejudice and emotional perversity. It is hardly fathomable the depth of psychological depravity to which one must sink to deny the Holocaust. Bishop Williamson is not a brave man to be “congratulated” for his intellectual “honesty.” He is an emotionally distorted, callous, and dangerous man. All human beings are capable of being callous to the lives of those outside their families. And all human beings are capable of developing paranoid views of outsiders. Indeed, most of us experience these emotions to one degree or another. But it is precisely because we are capable of such tragic and dark (anti) emotions toward our fellow human beings that we must resist them wherever we can, and especially where there is no warrant for us to indulge
