Richard Williamson, a Roman Catholic bishop who questioned the truth about the controversial Holocaust. The British born bishop caused outrage among the public in Argentina.

 Williamson who was living in Buenos Aires for five years now at St Pius X seminary was asked to leave the country within ten days. The bishop arrived at Heathrow airport and was escorted by the police. The bishop questions the Holocaust causing outrage among the Jews and embarrassed the Vatican.

 The bishop suggested that the historical evidence suggested that only 300,000 Jews died in the concentration camps and that there were no gas chambers. He reiterated that he would confirm his views not by visiting the Auschwitz but by reading a book by the former Holocaust denier Jean Claude Pressac.

The British catholic bishops of England and Wales totally condemned Williamson for his views. The Vatican also claims to have no knowledge about the bishop’s Holocaust beliefs before lifting his excommunication. However, amidst the protests, the bishop found one supporter in Britain named Michele Renouf, a socialite and a documentary maker. She opined that it’s a disgrace that there could be no debate on this issue and blamed Germany for its Holocaust-denial law.
