Holocaust row: Schönborn sees mistakes in Vatican

Cardinal Schönborn sees after the revocation of the excommunication of the British lefebvrianish bishop Richard Williamson mistakes in Vatican.

“Those who deny the Shoa cannot be rehabilitated in his ecclesiastical office” said Schönborn on Thursday in ZiB 2 (night journal of Austrian State TV) Here “Vatican collaborators have not looked at it sufficiently” and had not enough informed about Williamson.

„Unambiguous“ rendering of facts. However Schönborn emphasized, that the clarification of the pope was “absolutely unambiguous”. Benedict XVI has definitely condemned the Denial of Holocaust and assured the Jews of his “complete and undisputable Solidarity”. The pope had at the weekend revoked the excommunication of four bishops, who are followers of the traditionalist French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, among them also Williamson.

Reconciliation. The cardinal stressed that the intention of the pope was „a reconciliation with this group“ and a “gesture of co-operation”. Though the four bishops are “not yet confirmed in their office and authority”. As long as “they do not recognize the 2nd Vatican council, there will be no reconciliation”-
