I Wrote What?

Pope Benedict's forgiveness of four disobedient churchmen has caused quite a brouhaha even from some unexpected places (h/t: Drudge).

Vienna's cardinal and archbishop, Christoph Schoenborn, on Sunday lashed out at the decision to bring Williamson back into the fold, saying that "he who denies the Holocaust cannot be rehabilitated within the Church."

Funny; I looked over the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which the good Cardinal Archbishop edited, and it says nothing about whether idiots-of-history can or cannot be reconciled with the Church. Good thing for this Prince of the Church that the Catechism doesn't say anything, either, about ignorance of the contents of one's own publications. Not, apparently, that he would know.

UPDATE: Fear not for Schoenborn or Benedict. Now that some Catholic members of Congress have stepped in (h/t: Fr. Z), we can be assured that their wise and selfless leadership will steer the Church in the right direction.
