Holocaust and abortion
Mixa fighting against "malicious" allegations
A speech by the Bishop Walter Mixa of Augsburg at an event to CSU in Frankish Dinkelsbühl faces criticism: The Bishop made a connection between the number of Holocaust victims and the abortions carried out in Germany in recent years. Allegations that Mixa relativised the Holocaust have been rejected by the diocese "with indignation".
Mixa was a guest speaker on the theme "Values and Ethics in Politics" at an event organized by the Dinkelsbühl CSU, when he brought the two issues together. In an allusion to the debate about the SSPX Mixa stressed that the Holocaust on the scale of six million deaths had certainly taken place. The Bishop of Augsburg, adding that this figure had already been exceeded by the number of abortions.
"Holocaust must never be compared"
For some listeners the comparison caused resentment. Even the Mayor of Dinkelsbühl, Christoph Hammer, who was the host believes the connection of the two themes to be infelicitous. "The Holocaust is such a horrible, brutal crime that it can never be compared to another injustice," said Mayor Buehler to the Bayerischer Rundfunk. With all due respect for the bishop, these should not be compared, says the Lord Mayor continuing: "The Incomparable and unimaginable cannot be relativised."
Diocese rejects sharply allegations
Meanwhile, the Augsburg Diocese defends itself against allegations There could be no question of a relativisation of the "ghastly injustice against the Jewish people", said diocese spokesman Christoph Goldt. The spokesman said, Mixa on contrary had sharply distanced himself in the CSU Ash Wednesday meeting in Dinkelsbühl from the Holocaust denier and bishop of the SSPX Richard Williamson and denoted the murder of six million Jews as an appalling and unique crime.

Accusation "absurd and evil"
Bishop Mixa then "in a broader context" of the theme "ethics and morality in politics," pointed out that even at the present time crimes are being committed against life. The bishop referred to, among other things, the number of abortions in the past decades, which according to expert estimates, has now exceeded nine million. To contruct a relativization of the Holocaust by the bishop out of this was "absurd and malicious." Also, by specifying the different figures in different issue areas no relativization of the Holocaust was made, said diocese spokesman Goldt.
Bishop Mixa has a record of being provocative, not least in Israel.

Enough!
This is a disgrace!
Let the Catholic people rise up off their belly and continue on with our duty of proclaiming Jesus Christ!
Holy Father, please. This is grotesque, it is scandalous, to allow this to continue.
Please inform the Jews we will run our Chruch as Christ commands, wish them well, we pray for their conversion, we are finished allowing them to vet our Bishops.
The power of the Politically Correct Police is growing to the point that there can be no freedom even in thought.

Why did we defend them from the Soviets again?
Not just because of the body count, but the fact that its done with such wide acceptance makes the abortion holocaust more chilling. The foaming at the mouth rabid nature of Hitler and his henchmen indicates to me indirectly at least that they had to WORK at whipping up hysteria against the jews to allow what happened.
Collectively, it seems we could all care less about abortion.
if anyone doubts that the jews control the world...these recent days should dispel those doubts
And, in case this is news to the Jewish community which is up in arms over this German bishops comparison of the holocaust to abortion, Jews were not the only ones who died in the Nazi camps, so will someone PLEASE tell these people to GET OVER THEMSELVES! They are not more important as a group than anyone else.
Rejecting Christ has not earned them elite status--not in this life, and certainly not in the life to come. The sooner they cozy up to reality, the sooner they can put things in the right perspective and begin to know and love the true God.
I like Poeta's question, too. If we acknowledge the truth about the Crucifixion of Christ being the worst crime in human history, are we now guilty of being anti-Semitic? The Jews who cry foul over this are more anti-Semitic than anyone else. Moses was Catholic. He saw the Truth, and he worshipped God--not himself and his own delusions.
The ones really raising a stink about all this are modern day pharisees. I don't remember reading anywhere in the Bible that Jesus did his very best not to offend them--even if it meant throwing his faithful followers under the bus to placate the Pharisees.
Hint: fast-forward to the Crucifixion. I guess Jesus was the first real anti-Semite (in the eyes of the Pharisees).
