1. The bishop is obviously a fool. Still,
fining him for being grotesquely mistaken seems odd.

3. Holocaust denial is a crime in Germany.

5. Then it's not odd he'd be fined for committing a crime. (n/t)

2. Richard Williamson is a complete fascist
He is a complete antisemite, and indeed virulently bigoted against anyone who isn't a Catholic. And his views on women would not go amiss with the Taliban: he thinks women should not 'have ideas', go to university, etc.

Unfortunately, he is British by origin - ugggghhhhh!

6. Now if they would only convict the Pope for denying pedophilia.
