The delusional indifference of an all too influential pope

On January 25th, 2009, Pope Benedict revoked a 1988 excommunication of four bishops, including British bishop Richard Williamson, who during a recent interview on Swedish television denied that 6 million jews were murdered during the holocaust.  He maintained that the number of jews killed was a few hundred thousand, and that not one was killed in a gas chamber.  Williamson also has an outspoken history of supporting conspiracy theories, believing that both the assassination of President Kennedy and the terrorist attack of September 11th, 2001 were both staged by the government in order to enforce a police state.  

Anyone can just apologize about the Holocaust itself.  In fact, Germany has done that.  To this day, there is no monument to mark the exact point of where Hitler perished in Berlin, and denying the Holocaust is punishable by up to five years in prison.  Prime Minister Angela Merkel also recently demanded that the pope condemn anything belittling the Holocaust.  This where the pope remains indifferent, and to this day he has not mended international outrage by apologizing for the reinstatement of Richard Williamson nor has he resolved to take a harder stance on Holocaust denial.  If he does not apologize, he will, much unlike his predecessor, be remembered as a man who, like the nazis, believe Jewish people to be divinely inferior.  The difference between Pope Benedict and the Nazis is he doesn't go out of his way to exterminate them.  But for all we know,  perhaps nothing of that sort ever happened according to him.
