Denying the Holocaust a priest was dismissed from the post of head of the seminary.

Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson (Richard Williamson), denying the destruction of the Nazis gassed millions of Jews during the Second World War, dismissed by the heads of the seminary La Reja, which is located on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. That was reported by The New York Times referring to the Argentine press.
The newspaper brings a statement of Christian Bushakura (Christian Bouchacourt), Latin American heads of branches of ultraconservative Catholic Society of St. Pius X, which includes Williamson. According to Bushakura, approving the bishop of the Holocaust does not reflect the views of his congregation. Confirmation of information about Williamson removal from office of heads of the seminary has not yet been reported.
In January, the Vatican had issued a decision about returning to the fold of the Catholic Church Williamson and three other bishops ordained in San autocratically in 1988, conflicting with the head of the Vatican the Society of Saint Pius X. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel expressed outrage over this decision, because Williamson has publicly denied the historical reality of the Holocaust. The Vatican called on the bishop to reconsider his views.
