I've Been Thinking:

Richard Williamson has become a household name.
He is the Catholic Bishop, recently elevated by the Pope, who had been part of a traditionalist group that had been removed from mainstream Catholicism. The group was just recently taken back into the fold.

Richard Williamson is a Holocaust denier.
He believes that only a few thousand Jews died in Auschwitz and that there were no gas chambers and no mass murder. Now that is back in the fold. Williamson must conform to the Pope's doctrines.

Richard Williamson must recant his public pronouncements denying the Holocaust. On Thursday he made a public statement saying that he regretted the pain he had caused others by his statements.

The Vatican told Williamson that what he said was not enough.
The Vatican told Williamson that merely regretting the pain is not enough.
The Pope is insisting that Williamson retract his comments about denying the Holocaust.

The Vatican is the expert on confession.
The Vatican knows a partial confession when they hear one.
