Quote:
A renegade British bishop has been fined 10,000 euros (£8,750) for denying the Holocaust in a case that has acutely embarrassed the Vatican.
The case went ahead in a German court without Richard Williamson, whose breakaway Catholic fraternity told him not to testify, his lawyer said.

Yes another Catholic own goal. I would have thought that the Catholic church would know about this. The pope was in the Hitler Youth. :oops:

Wtf? I'm surprised they haven't booted this (nazi) weirdo out of the church.

Technically this sect of the Catholic church broke away in 1965 over another Popes rants.

Is he a national socialist? I haven't seen any evidence that he belongs to the national socialist party. He is denying the holocaust, not national socialism...

Likewise, the Hitler Youth was a brain washing version of the boy scouts & girl guides, essentially. Membership was essentially mandatory, so pretty much every German who was over 12 by the end of the war had been a member.

It is still an embarrassment for the German people and is one of the things that has shaped their behaviour since the Second World War. The Germans, to a large degree, still shun any form of elitism. Groups like Mensa were shunned here for years, because it was considered elitism and left a bad taste in the mouth of most Germans. This is slowly changing, but it has held Germany back in many areas.

Under such circumstances the membership could be irrelevant. Also towards the end of the war the Hitler Youth were another line of defence and no different that many underage soldiers on the Allied side.
