VATICAN CITY - The Vatican's relations with Jews risked a new crisis Friday after an excommunicated British bishop - reportedly in line for rehabilitation - said that historical evidence "is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed" during World War II.
Two Italian newspapers reported Thursday that Pope Benedict XVI planned to lift the excommunication of Richard Williamson and three other bishops punished for having been consecrated without papal consent 20 years ago by the late French conservative Archbishop Marcel Lefevbre.
The Vatican declined to comment on the reports, but Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi suggested Friday that such a decree would be made public soon.
Rome's chief rabbi asked the Vatican to halt the reported rehabilitation.
Rabbi Ricardo Di Segni said it is "inconceivable" the pope didn't know Williamson's views.
The International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consulation also urged that the excommunications of all four - and especially Williamson - not be lifted, saying they were all opposed to pursuing relations with Jews, Protestants and Muslims.

So what do you think is going to happen?

The priest is an idiot. Nobody has ever claimed that Jews only died from gassings.

I too have enormous respect for Catholics, but my respect for Williamson is about negative infinity. mad
I'm sure everything will work out, though.

All religious leaders say something incredibly stupid and crass.
However, although I have much respect for the Catholic Church, I have to agree with Lumanny.

Why am I always on holiday or ill when something Jewish happens in the UK???
The guy believes that a few hundred thousand Jews died in the First World War, and that the gas chambers were used for decontamination.
The reason for this belief:
When the Allies wanted to know how many Jews died in the Holocaust, they asked German Jews. So, obviously becuase we all want pity and are manipulative, we told them a massively disproportionate death toll. OBVIOUSLY it wasn't six million, it couldn't have been more than 300,000.
My blood boils while people who believe things like this still live.

My dad once told me that one reason there is so much Antisemitism over in the States is because during the Sivil War 70% of Jews owned slaves and the Antisemites twisted that to say that 70% of slaves were owned ny Jews.
