Former Hitler Youth member stays on the far right
February 1st, 2009 at 16:12
A few days ago I wrote about how the Pope had let a Holocaust denier back into the Catholic church, seemingly on the grounds that “he’s not a woman or a gay, so he’s probably pretty cool”. It turns out that since there has been a twist in the story.
No, it hasn’t turned out that the Holocaust didn’t happen after all, but that it looks as though the re-communication of the Holocaust denier might have been part of a ploy by the Vatican to make promoting Fr Gerhard Maria Wagner to assistant bishop of Linz look less horrendous by comparison. Linz was, of course, Hitler’s home town.
But who is Fr Wagner? Here’s his back-story as reported by BBC News:
Fr Wagner is also notorious for his extreme views – he has accused the popular Harry Potter novels of spreading Satanism, and described Hurricane Katrina as God’s punishment for the sinners of New Orleans.
He wrote in a parish newsletter that the death and destruction caused by the hurricane in New Orleans was divine retribution for the city’s tolerance of homosexuals and permissive sexual attitudes.
The future bishop said he was glad that Katrina destroyed not only nightclubs and brothels in New Orleans, but also five of the city’s abortion clinics.
What makes this interesting is that whilst God destroyed five abortion clinics with Katrina, he also destroyed SIX churches.
I think Fr Wagner might be worshiping the wrong God…
