Williamson will not succeed in destroying the spirit of Nostra Aetate

We solemnly reaffirm that to deny the Holocaust is not an opinion but a crime.

We observe with concern that certain members of the Roman Curia have been negligent in this regard.

We pay tribute to the many Roman Catholics, both priests and laity, who share our dismay and have assured us that they are determined to continue with us on the path of brotherhood and hope.

We have absolutely no doubts that the impenitent, fanatical anti-Semitism of Richard Williamson, worthy of the Middle Ages, will not succeed in destroying the exemplary and irreversible reconciliation inaugurated by Nostra Aetate. This requires vigilance and clear sightedness.
