LA church ban for holocaust-denying bishop
Holocaust-denying British bishop Richard Williamson will not be allowed to enter any Roman Catholic church, school or other building in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Cardinal Roger Mahony published the ban yesterday in a joint statement with two members of the American Jewish Committee.
Mr Williamson is one of four members of an ultra-traditionalist group who were excommunicated.
He denied the Holocaust in a previously taped interview broadcast in January on the same day the Pope lifted his excommunication.
Mr Mahony’s statement makes no mention of any plans by Mr Williamson to visit Los Angeles, but it notes that the situation has given many religious and civic leaders an opportunity to acknowledge the Holocaust.
