the Vatican and the Holocaust

A published interview in the NY Times reveals the Vatican says it did not know it was revoking the excommunication of a holocaust denier until after the fact.  Expectations they would look at the public pronouncements of those it is considering welcoming back into the fold sound reseasonable but did not happen.  Various Jewish groups are angry, seem to feel betrayed a Pope they took at his word that improving Catholic Jewish relations were a priority.  Mistakes happen, everywhere, all the time, despite all our best efforts to avoid them.  We look for the issues and obstacles in our way, and try to overcome them.  Meanwhile we can miss what is right at our feet and trips us up.  I have no ideas how the Pope will address the apparent conflicts his decision creates.  The Vatican does not rush, takes time to deliberate on situations.  To anyone who cares, lets all take a deep breath and see how the Vatican responds the protests of Jewish Groups and the knowledge it now has about newly minted Bishop Richard Williamson.  Don't expect anything today or tomorrow.  Lets wait and see
