Vatican to reprieve society that brands Jews as 'Christ killers'
Longtime readers may recall Bishop Richard Williamson, the excommunicated British Bishop who was reprieved by Pope Benedict in 2009. Williamson is a member of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a group which propagates anti-Semitism that brands Jews as 'Christ killers.' Giulio Meotti reports that SSPX may be about to brought back into the Catholic Church under a special arrangement. He suggests that all Jews and Israel ought to be concerned about that prospect. Many people remember the name of Richard Williamson. On the same day in 2009 that the Pope’s decree was signed lifting his excommunication, Bishop Williamson was shown on Swedish state television saying historical evidence “is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed” during World War II.Read the whole thing.
But even if Williamson is just a lunatic anti-Semite, the proto-Holocaust teachings of the Society and the agreement with the Vatican will have historical consequences on Christian relations with the Jews.
The entire Society propagates the worst kind of anti-Semitism.
Their US branch website demonizes “the international Jewry”, “the world wide Jewish empire”, “the Jews as the biggest capitalists”, the Jews as “the founders of Communism”, the Jews as “the enemy of man”. There is also “A defence of Inquisition”.
The South African website claims that “Jews are fulfilling their substitute-Messianic drive towards world dominion”.
The Irish branch calls the Jews “guilty of Deicide” and posits that they “must be baptized”.
The German site is also very clear: “The Jews of now are for sure guilty of the murder of God, as long as they don’t recognize Christ as God and are baptized to atone for the sins of their forefathers”.
The Belgian’s Society website defines the Jewish Messiah as “the anti-Christ of the Apocalypse”.
The Italian Society’s bulletin, La Tradizione Cattolica, calls Judaism “a false cult” and spreads hallucinatory material on “the Jew Karl Marx” and “the Jews sleeping in the shadow of death”.
If the Vatican, which is responsible for the faith of one billion people around the world, welcomes back the Society, it means that the Pope simply has made a strategic decision: enticing Catholic anti-Semites back to the fold is more important than the Church’s relationship with the Jewish people.

Hi Carl.
If they allow this to happen , then i can only hope it's the red line crossed for many Roman Catholics.
Hi Carl.

And i do agree completely with the latter of your post.
Nobody killed Jesus, except the sin of mankind. The anti-Semites are not reading their bibles.
John 10:17-18 "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
