Whatever does this old man think? The clouds have parted and the first reluctant rays of sunlight are at last shining down on one and all: Bishop Richard Williamson has deigned to confer once more with his materials on the Holocaust. Soon he will decide once and for all if all those people really did suffer the fate they did. The matter needs "scientific" analysis, says the old man, before he's prepared to withdraw from its golden-gilded chamber his learned pronouncement of truth.As he's always sought after the truth, do you think that he would, even for one moment, compromise his severe standards, let dull the keen razor of his judgment? As serious a thinker as he will never relent, so committed is he to filling his worldly existence with only the core sap of absolute certainty. It is to his laboratory of truth-seeking he will cloister himself, and after studying his texts - he will peer into them with great solemnity and urgency - and making his calculations - he will weigh the facts on the sensitive scale of his wisdom - only then will the words yay or nay be coaxed from amidst the infinite folds of his larynx, atop his lithe tongue and out the pursed guardians of his mouth. Did the Holocaust REALLY happen? Close your books and turn off your documentaries, the good bishop will soon settle the matter.
"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions."
Thomas Jefferson, 1816
