My Way News - Vatican turnaround: Holocaust denier must recant
AP reports: "The Vatican, bowing to the growing furor over Pope Benedict XVI's decision to accept a return to the church of a prelate who denied the Holocaust, made a dramatic turnaround Wednesday and demanded the bishop recant. [...] 'Everybody knows he's an anti-Semite,' since Williamson has been vocal about his views, making speeches and publishing a blog, [Rabbi Marvin] Hier said. 'The other Holocaust deniers are rabid, anti-Semites who can't claim any legitimacy. But when a person calls himself bishop and he was invited back into the Catholic Church by none other than the pope, he brings with him an aura of legitimacy. And that legitimacy stains the pope. So the pope today finally made the right decision, that (Williamson) must recant.'"
