from SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
Bishop Bernard Fellay, head of the Society of Saint Pius X, told SPIEGEL that Bishop Richard Williamson's comments denying the scale of the Holocaust were "nonsense" and said he had told him to retract them.
Bishop Bernard Fellay, the head of the ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), has apologized for the comments made by Bishop Richard Williamson denying the scale of the Holocaust and said he had asked Williamson to retract "this nonsense."
Fellay, superior general of the society since 1994, told SPIEGEL in written answers to questions that he had dismissed Williamson from his position as director of the La Reja Seminary outside Buenos Aires, the Argentinian capital, on Jan. 31, nine days before the dismissal was reported by an Argentinian news agency.
Williamson had made his comments denying the scale of the Holocaust in an interview with Swedish television broadcast in January. "As soon as I saw this interview I told him to correct this nonsense," Fellay said. "The sooner, the better."

I am a hostage to the SSPX Mass, but I suggest to the arrogant superior that he seek funding from the Vatican hereafter. If my identity is discovered and I am barred from the chapel for lese majeste, so be it. I am ashamed to have contributed in ANY way to an organization that tolerates such dishonorable behavior as this in its titular leader.
Msgr. Williamson may well have been wrong, and I believe him to have been so in the matter of the interview, but so crude and openly disloyal a manner of casting him overboard ill befits the would-be leader of a Traditional Catholic organization. Msgr. Fellay should publically apologize to the CATHOLIC bishop he has insulted and belittled, and he should then RESIGN!
Enough is enough.
