Oh oh.  A few days after the excommunications on the four illicitly ordained bishops of the SSPX were lifted a televised interview with one of them ran on Swedish tv.  In it Mr Richard Williamson knowingly engaged in a violation of the law: Holocause denmial or negationaism.  He was convicted of this in German court and the conviction upheld.  He is appealing the fine and to help him do this he has hired a neo-Nazi.

The lawyer, Wolfram Nahrath, is a member of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), the magazine wrote. He also led the Viking Youth, a neo-Nazi organization modeled on the Hitler Youth, until it was banned in 1994.

Talk about jumping out of the frying pan....

But fear not, if he keeps the lawyer, the SSPX says it will give him the boot.  Good for them.  Of course, given the depth of antisemitism within the group this will drive a fissure in the group.  So, win win.
