A bishop recently rehabilitated by
Pope Benedict XVI expressed regret Friday to the pontiff for the "distress and problems" he caused by denying the Holocaust. (
Bishop who denied Holocaust apologizes to pope... )
In a letter to the Vatican, Bishop
Richard Williamson, who recently denied in a TV interview that 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust, called his remarks "imprudent."
The letter was posted on Williamson's personal blog and addressed to Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who has been dealing with the rehabilitation of Williamson and other renegade bishops who had been excommunicated.
The Holocaust denial had outraged Jewish groups and many others. It was not immediately clear if Williamson's letter, which contained no apology for the content of his remarks, would ease that anger.
(Ok he has told the Pope he is sorry but is it true sorrow. I don't know this man's heart but if he does have true sorrow why has he not said he was wrong for what he said. What about telling Jewish people he was wrong, who had love ones murdered by that killer Hitler.)
