I despise any movement to criminalize
words and thought, and so should you. Euros are in that vanguard,
but speech Nazi's are crawling all over the U.S. as well. I am
today addressing the the furor generated by Pope Benedict's
rehabilitating - which means ending the excommunication of, which means
denying the sacraments of the Church to, four Bishops who "denied the
Holocaust."
First of all, anyone who
denies something so obviously true, and widely documented is, res ipsa
loquitur, an idiot. The Bishops deserved removal from any
position of influence within the church, and were. Second, the
priests involved were excommunicated for questioning a Pope's authority to order them to STFU. Third. Anyone who would criminalize unpopular thought is a manifestation of Mr. Hitler's recent experiment. Fourth. It is my fervent hope that His Holiness addresses an encyclical to these harpies, "Vado Fuccant Vestri."
