The Vatican appears to be sacrificing truth for the sake of Roman Catholic unity...

In an attempt to heal a two-decade old schism, Pope Benedict XVI has lifted the excommunications of four bishops, including one who is a Holocaust denier.

Richard Williamson, a British bishop, was shown in a Swedish state TV interview this week saying that historical evidence "is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed."

Williamson has said that only 200,000-300,000 Jews died during World War II and that gas chambers were a fiction.
