The Catholic fascist brought in from the cold
Andrew Sullivan has more on the holocaust denier who Pope Benedict just reinstated in the Catholic Church. According to Sullivan “Notice the word “violent”. This man is a fascist.” [The word "fascist" is Sullivan's].
Sullivan quotes Jim Burroway:
Williamson argues that women should not wear trousers and that “almost no girl should go to any university” because doing so contributes to the “the unwomaning of woman.” He blames modernism for causing the Rwandan massacre, he describes pluralism as the major threat to the Faith and salvation of Catholics today, and he decries religious liberty as a substitute religion. He has even criticized the movie The Sound of Music because of how it portrays those “nasty Nazis” and elevates “self-centered” romantic love. His views on gay people, engaging in a sin “crying to Heaven for vengeance,” are all too predictable.
It is clear that the Catholic Church under this Pope has lost any semblance of a moral center. Pedophilia is punished by being moved to a location where the children have no ability to complain. And fascists are to be rehabilitated.We should stop citing the Catholic Church when they happen to agree with us, as on the Iraq war.
But the conspiracy folks should be thrilled. He’s a 9-11 Truth kind of guy:
None of you believe that 9-11 is what it was presented to be. It was, of course, the two towers came down, but it was absolutely for certain not two airplanes which brought down those two towers. They were professionally demolished by a series of demolition charges from top to bottom of the towers. …
Even if I took the 9-11 Truth seriously, I’d be ashamed to be in such company. Evidently Pope Benedict is not.
