He had to have known. My officemate, when he heard that the people from this particular group were bring brought back in, responded with, "Oh, that crazy Holocaust-denial guy is going to get in the news with this one." If random American Catholic knows, then the Pope knows.
The Australian bishop on the radio last night said differently. It was beyond strange listening to the program where the guy denied the existence of gas chambers. I can get, don't agree, but at least there might be an argument if it was quibbling over numbers, but to say those things didn't even exist is just mind boggling.
there was a group of bishops who were ordained (?) without the blessing of the pope, and so they were excommunicated.
They are adherents of the French rightwing conservative Bishop Lefebvre who started his own little offshoot of the Catholic Church called the Society of St. Pius X. Mel Gibson's dad is a big fan of the group, IIRC.

I need your worldview.
I'm waiting on a call from one of my doctors to tell me the ER will administer the procedure he's been pitching for months and months. Then maybe I can justify another visit.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga reminds me of my FTM cousin. Very distracting.
I swear, me cheering you on in the Australian Open is toxic. So many of my people have been knocked out, or are struggling to stay in.

I'm feeling slightly ill and brainlessly, heartbrokenly flailing right now.
Oh, JZ, that's so stressful and awful.
ita, I am faking it until I make it.
This [link] xkcd reminds me of sara's bro. And perhaps some other Buffistas.

I'm subscribing to your newsletter.
Faking it until you make it is just as stylish, I'd say.
I would *really* like Google Reader to stop crashing Firefox.
Really, it would make my day so much better.
Count me in as one of the people under the weather.
Happy Birthday little Buffista, Frisco!
All the pope stuff reminds me how glad I am to be an ex-catholic.
The Blagojavich stuff just boggles my mind!
The Kitty cam is cute.
I have been in Iowa for a week now, and today was the day to get out there and push those resumes! Instead, I over slept, have had an extended nap and have not changed out of my jammies.
I'd like to fake it too. Working on that.
A marketing firm wants to interview me on Wednesday. I'm trying to see the good in this. I mean, I'm going, but me as marketing management? I have no qualifications! And they say they've read my resume. I can't shake the feeling that they're going to try and sellme something. Maybe I should have told them I'm broke.
