Argentina expels Holocaust bishop [What a nasty headline]
Argentina has ordered an ultra-traditionalist British bishop who denies the Holocaust to leave the country or face expulsion.
The Interior Ministry said Richard Williamson had been told he had 10 days to leave Argentina.
Earlier this month the bishop was removed from his post as the head of a Roman Catholic seminary in Argentina. [Notice there is no additional distinction here.]
A row erupted in January after the Pope decided to lift Bishop Williamson’s excommunication on an unrelated matter. [At least they got that right.]
The Vatican said the Pope had been unaware of Bishop Williamson’s views and had since ordered him to recant.
Outrage
Argentina’s Interior Ministry said on Thursday that Bishop Williamson "has concealed the true motive for his stay in the country" because he said he was an employee of a non-governmental group rather than declaring "his true activity" as the director of a seminary. [? So… is this the reason for the expulsion?]
Bishop Williamson’s views on the Holocaust have provoked outrage.
"I believe that the historical evidence is strongly against, is hugely against, six million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler," he said.
