PDF versionItalian Lefebvrite priest questions Holocaust
Jan. 29, 2009
Fr. Floriano AbrahamowiczIn the wake of a global furor triggered by Pope Benedict XVI’s decision to lift the excommunication of four traditionalist Catholic bishops, including one who cast doubt on the Holocaust, another leader in the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X has questioned whether the Nazis used gas chambers for anything other than “disinfection,” and said that people who hold revisionist views on the Holocaust are not anti-Semites.
Fr. Floriano Abrahamowicz, a pastor and spokesperson for the Society of St. Pius X in northeastern Italy, also referred to Jews as “a people of deicide,” referring to the death of Christ, and suggested that the Jewish Holocaust has been “exalted” over what he called “other genocides,” such as the Allied bombing of German cities and the Israeli occupation of the Gaza strip.
On the other hand, Abrahamowicz insisted that the traditionalist movement founded by the late French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre is not “anti-Semitic.” Among other things, Abrahamowicz said, he himself has Jewish roots on his father’s side.
The comments came in a Jan. 29 interview with the Italian newspaper La Tribuna di Treviso. (An NCR translation of the full text of the interview appears below.)

Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior of the Society of St. Pius X, has apologized for the remarks of Bishop Richard Williamson, who in a recent interview with Swedish television claimed that the Nazis had not used gas chambers and estimated the number of Jewish deaths during World War II at no more than 300,000. Fellay has also barred Williamson from further comment. However, the Abrahamowicz interview suggests at least some degree of sympathy for Williamson’s views within the traditionalist group.
Reacting to protest in Italy over the Abrahamowicz interview, the Italian superior of the Society of St. Pius X, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, issued a press release saying that the society confirms Fellay’s earlier statement on Williamson and “reproves every single word inconsistent with it.”
Abrahamowicz is himself a well-known figure in Italy. In 2006, he gave a television interview in which he said that Erich Priebke, a German SS officer convicted of war crimes for a 1944 massacre in Rome, in which 335 Italian civilians were killed in reprisal for the deaths of 33 German soldiers, should not be seen as an “executioner” but rather a soldier who acted “with regret and a heavy heart.” In 2007, Abrahamowicz celebrated a Latin Mass for Italian politician Umberto Bossi, leader of the far-right Northern League party. Bossi and his party have sometimes been accused of xenophobia, particularly towards Muslim immigrants.

In 2008, after Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi of Milan had expressed support for Muslims seeking to open new mosques in Italy, Abrahamowicz said on Italian radio that Tettamanzi was an example of “infiltrators” attempting to “subvert the church from within.”
Abrahamowicz’s latest comments come just one day after Benedict XVI pledged his “full and indisputable solidarity” with the Jewish people, and recalled the deaths of “millions of Jews” in the Nazi concentration camps.

Interview with Fr. Floriano Abrahamowicz, Jan. 29, 2009
By Laura Canzian
Fr. Floriano, is the Lefebvrite community anti-Semitic?
It’s truly impossible for a Catholic Christian to be anti-Semitic. I myself, on my father’s side, have Jewish roots. My last name even suggests this. This entire polemic regarding the statements of Bishop Williamson concerns the existence of gas chambers, and has been strongly instrumentalized for anti-Vatican purposes. Williamson simply expressed his doubts, and his ‘denial’ is not of the Holocaust – as newspapers have falsely said – but of the technical aspect of the gas chambers.
In your view, what’s the ‘technical aspect’ of the gas chambers?
Certainly, it was imprudent of Williamson to get into technical questions. In the famous interview, you can see that the journalist was obviously leading up to this specific aspect. But you have to understand that the theme of the Holocaust is situated on a much higher level than the question of knowing whether the victims died from gas or from other causes.
What do you think? About the gas chambers, I mean.
Truly, I don’t know. I know that gas chambers existed at least for disinfection, but I don’t know if they were used to kill people or not, because I haven’t studied the question. I know that, alongside the official version [of events], there’s another version based on the observations of the first Allied technicians who entered the camps.
Do you cast doubt on the number of victims of the Holocaust?
No, I don’t cast doubt on the numbers. There could have been more than six million victims. Even in the Jewish world, the number has a symbolic value. Pope Ratzinger says that even one person killed unjustly is too many, which is a way of saying that it’s equal to six million. To speak about numbers doesn’t change anything with respect to the essence of genocide, which is always an exaggeration.
An exaggeration? In what sense?
The number [of six million] is derived from what the head of the German Jewish community said to the Anglo-Americans shortly after the liberation. In the heat of the moment, he fired off a number. But how could he know? For him, the important point was that these victims were unjustly killed for religious motives. If there’s a criticism to be made of the way in which the tragedy of the Holocaust has been handled, it’s in giving it a supremacy with respect to other genocides.
To which other exterminations are you referring?
If Bishop Williamson had gone on television to deny the genocide of 1.2 million Armenians by the Turks, I don’t think that all the newspapers would have talked about his statements in the same terms they’re using now. Who has ever talked about the Anglo-American genocide in the bombing of German cities? Who has ever talked about Churchill, who ordered the phosphorous bombing of Dresden, where there were not only many civilians, but also many Allied soldiers? Who has spoken about the English air force, which, in the bombing of the cities, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians? And the Israelis certainly can’t tell me that the genocide they suffered from the Nazis is less serious than that of Gaza, simply because they’ve taken out a few thousand persons, while the Nazis took out six million. This is where I fault Judaism, which exasperates rather than honoring the victims of genocide decently. It’s as if there were only one genocide in history, that of the Jews during the Second World War. It seems like you can say anything you want about all the other exterminated peoples, but no one at the global level has spoken in the terms in which people are speaking today after the declarations of Bishop Williamson.
Why do so many people still cast doubt on the Shoah? Why is it a subject that still divides people so viscerally?
Because the whole history of humanity is marked by the people of Israel, who initially were the people of God, who then became the people of deicide, and who at the end of time will reconvert to Jesus Christ. Behind it all is a mysterious theological aspect, which is that of the people of God which rejected its Messiah and which still combats him. It’s a mystery of doctrine. Anti-Semitism is born from the illuminated liberal and Gnostic world. The church throughout history has always protected the Jews from pogroms, as one reads, for example, in Domenico Savino’s book on ritual homicide.
What do you think of [Holocaust] denial?
Denial is a false problem, because it focuses on methods and numbers and doesn’t address the substance of the problem. Those who have studied the technical data, and who have cast certain doubts on the versions that we find in history books, aren’t anti-Semites. It’s enough to recall that the first ones to find this data were also those who saved the Jews, meaning the Allies.
Do you want to offer a message to the Jewish community?
One message: As a Catholic Christian, adding that little Jewish blood that runs in my veins, I express the hope that the Jews will embrace Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Finally, Catholics are
Finally, Catholics are standing up to Israeli apologists and Jewish supremacists. I quit the Church because they cowed to these haters.
Raphael Lemkin who was a
Raphael Lemkin who was a member of the Jewish War Refugee Board invented the term "genocide" as it pertained to the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. The allied black pshycological operations units gave it all the airtime it needed. Such nonsense that the Germans would herd 1500 people into an airraid shelter at one time and thru some miraculous way asphyxiate them to death using an insecticide (zyklon-b) . Educated people should be ashamed for believing such nonsnense . All this was to take place in 15 minutes (the asphyxiation) . What nonsense ! The evil perpetrated in this whole interview is that no one is ever asked whether it is moral to lie about one's enemies ? If they caused us harm , does that excuse our lying about them ? I say no !!!!
We do not have the right to lie in court and we do not have the right to lie as a nation .
Ther can be no justification for such crude lies like :
soap made from Jewish cadavers
lampshade made from human skin
mass gas chambers

I am very happy to know that
I am very happy to know that our Traditional Roman Catholic priests like Fr. Floriana Abrahamowicz and Bishop William Richardson have boldly, courageously, intrepidly and like true defenders and preachers of the One Truth have defied the garbage of the accursed deicides, the Jewish elite - The diabolical Rothchilds families and their damn cronies - the Rockfellers, the Jacob Schiffs, the Warburgs, etc. It is now becoming increasingly evident that the Jews have made up this whole story of the Holocaust just to gain the sympathy of the world and to place a smokescreen in order to hide their murderous crimes against innocent Catholics and other Christian people. These damn Jews have, since our Lord's birth, adulterated and virused our civilized Catholic societies in Europe in order to bring about and establish their pagan religion civilization called the New World Order with the United Nations as their world parliament. These Marranno, Cryto Jews are the ones who murdered our kind and gentle French Catholic Monarch, the kind and gentle King Louis XVI
May God bless these two great Roman Catholic fighters for the Faith, may their words penetrate the consciousness of all true Roman Catholics bretheren in the world and cause them to unite and to fight against these barbarian Jewish animals. I for certain am on fire and I will endeavour to draw as many Roman Catholics to this important and task.
And certainly one cannot
And certainly one cannot expect Sohbet Odaları this new modern leadership to come from the remnants of the old failed order that still controls the all too comfortable offices of the modern GOP and kızlarla chat conservative movement. Rather, look hard at those governors on display Chat last week in Miami for clues to the future of America's center-right. But as able as those governors are - Pawlenty, Jindal, Crist, Palin - one did not see an obvious President there, someone ready to take on Obama in 2012, and lead their Party from a deep and dark wilderness. Interesting folks, but no FDR, no Reagan, no Clinton, no Obama. Despite their claims, the GOP farm team seems awfully thin now, at least for the short term.

I am just carrying on with the same policy which the Catholic church has adopted for fifteen hundred years,
when it has regarded the Jews as dangerous and pushed them into ghettos etc., because it knew what the Jews were like.
I don’t put race above religion, but I do see the danger in the representatives of this race for Church and State,
and perhaps I am doing Christianity a great service.

Pius IX, declared in 1871 that by rejecting Christianity, Jews had become 'dogs'
and that 'we have today in Rome unfortunately too many of these dogs, and we hear them barking in all the streets,
and going around molesting people everywhere.'

This is the pope beatified by John Paul II in 2000.

Jerome - satanic Father of the Cat holic church Produced the L
atin translation of the bible which became the ROMISH 4 th century bible.
He said ,
"Jews are incapable of understanding scripture
and should be severely punished until they confess the true faith
In 1233, Pope Gregory IX satanic Father of the Cat holic holic church established the papal Inquisition South France & Northern Italy To convert of Jews to CATHOLICISM.
the Inquisition, brought on a wave of persecution. Of HORRIBLE HORID .
. Torture Of millions HORRIBLE HORID ..
Torture was approved by Pope Innocent IV
The SATANIC Catholic Church launched nine holy wars 1096-1272.
The purpose of these wars was to march to the Holy Land of Palestine and liberate it from infidels."
Along the way, the crusaders massacred all "infidels" in their path who refused to be baptized on the spot to Cat holicism
. Thousands of Jews were massacred in Germany and France. 1205:
Pope Innocent III satanic Father wrote that "the Jews, by their own guilt, are consigned to perpetual servitude because they crucified the Lord..
.As slaves rejected by God, in whose death they wickedly conspire,
they shall be slaves of Christians
Pius IX declared ...'The Jews -- eternal insolent children, obstinate, dirty, thieves, liars, ignoramuses, pests and the scourge of those near
and far . . a .. barbarian invasion by an enemy race, hostile to Christianity and to society in general.''
Those words appeared in news papers in Rome Dec. 1840, with 36 articles written over 40 months in Civilta Cattolica, the journal Pope Pius IX had ordered the Jesuits to publish in Rome -
-Pius IX In 1867 canonized Peter Arbues, a 15th-century inquisitor who forcibly converted Jews
Garry Wills is the author of ''A Necessary Evil: A History of American Distrust of Government'' and ''Papal Sin.''
1593, Pope Clement VIII declared that Jews commanded to live in the ghettoes .....hose living elsewhere were forced out.
Carrying their possessions on their backs,
the Jews made their way to those places where they were still permitted
Following the 1775 papal order, ~~
JEWS remained WHO outside the ghetto could neither live in the same house with Catholics "nor speak familiarly to them."
Everyone was able to tell who was a Jew, because, in another
sixteenth-century papal provision reiterated in the 1775 edict,
Jews were required to wear a special badge on their clothes.
HITLER coppied this CATHOLIC Tradition / forcing JEWS to wear a BADGE .
"Jews of both sexes must wear a yellow-colored sign, by which they are distinguished from
others, and they must always wear it at all times and places, both in the
ghettoes, and when they are outside of them."
The men were to wear the yellow sign on their hat, and women on their uncovered hair. To prevent the Jews from giving themselves airs,
they were forbidden from riding in carriages or buggies.
Jews were not allowed to keep shops or warehouses outside the ghetto/..
This has been Going on for 2000 yrs....
THIS IS JUST a tiny SMALL eXample of Hate & vile treatment of HEBREWS by the ROMAN tic Catholic church
Children should be supervised WHEN in the company of these demons..
