Deo gratias. Good!
I really didn't want to go back to being Orthodox-in-schism, or a Tibetan Buddhist, or a Lakota believer (my two runner-sup religions, if there was no orthodox Catholic faith.)

Vatican: Holocaust Denier Must Recant
Good. This is welcome news, and cannot be acted upon too swiftly.
As for those within the Vatican who would misinform or ill advise your Pontiff and construct scenarios which make the Church disgraced in the eyes of God and man: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. (And thee.)
Benedict XVI: "In these days in which we remember the Shoah, I return to the memory of the images seen at Auschwitz, one of the concentration camps where millions of Jews were massacred, innocent victims of a radical and religious, blind hatred. While I renew with sentiment the expression of my full and unquestionable solidarity with our chosen Brothers of the First Covenant, I hope that the memory of the Shoah causes humanity to reflect on the unpredictable power of evil when it conquers the heart of man. The Shoah is for all a warning against forgetfulness, denial or reductionism, because violence done against one human being is violence against all. No man is an island, a famous poet wrote..."

Suffering From The Church
It is a truism which reflects human nature that we suffer from The Church as much as we do for Her. Recently the Vatican, apparently not being aware of SPPX Bishop Williamson's way unorthodox stance on the Holocaust (he is a Holocaust denier) included the man in a return-to-the-flock overture towards the SPPX.
Basically, here's the bottom line, and it ought to bring to a halt or at least give pause to those witch hunters with pitchforks and staves chasing Pope Benedict around the Vatican right now. He didn't know. From the NYT.
QUOTE In an interview in Thursday’s issue of Corriere della Sera, the Vatican official in charge of negotiations with the society, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, said the Vatican had not known of Bishop Williamson’s views until after the revocation order had been signed. UNQUOTE
