Jewish question and Catholic church
Today in Milan snows and I feel a little sad, not for the snow which I like very much, but for so many bad things that happen in this world. The last days happened one thing that I must say my opinion about. So this blog also becomes a little personal web log and not only transcription of jokes and fun stories that I’m receiving via e-mail from friends.
So, January 27 is the day of memory of the Shoah, the extermination of the Jews happened before, during and after the Second World War. Of this part after the war, speaks little, and not many are aware that in the Soviet gulag were exterminated millions of Jews, some even argue that Stalin have killed more Jews then Hitler, but this is not the issue that I want to talk about.
I state that I’m not Jew and that I’m not even religious (if I were, I would be Catholic). Two, three days before the day of memory, Pope Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) has revoked the excommunication of the Lefebvre’s bishop negationist Williamson, who was excommunicated for the fact that he denied the existence of the Holocaust, arguing that the gas chambers were used for reasons of hygiene and not to exterminate the Jews. After, I heard the denials, and apologies from the pope, the bishops and other ecclesiastical responsibilities.
But who has read the statements, understood everything. Williamson has apologized to the church to have caused all this turmoil media, but has not withdrawn his thesis on the Holocaust. And also the fact that the pope has condemned the denial clearly I am not convinced a fact. Ratzinger is an intelligent person and precise, as are the Germans in general, and I am sure that this thing, made a few days before the day of remembrance has been targeted. Why, I can’t explain it to me, but that it was intended, I repeat, I am sure. To say that this is an oversight, a coincidence, that is, any explanation I am not back. Ugly, really ugly, but unfortunately the church on one side and say certain things on the other side does just the opposite facts.
