On the heels of Nancy Pelosi's audience with Pope Benedict XVI, during which he lectured her that she should "protect life" (i.e., not be pro-choice), comes a damning investigation of the virulent anti-semitism of the St. Pius X Society. Benedict recently lifted the excommunication of Bishop Richard Williamson, a member of the Society, who openly denies the Holocaust. The new investigation of the Society by the Belgian Jewish newspaper Joods Actueel shows that its anti-Semitic views are not limited to Holocaust denial. The group -- estimated to have up to a million followers worldwide -- rejects Vatican II and believes Jews are the "enemy of man." Its U.S. site contains statements such as "Money, the media, and international politics are for a large part in the hands of the Jews," "with vigilance and clear-sightedness we should launch a systematic and methodical opposition to the equally systematic and methodical onslaught of 'the enemy of man'", "international Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute" and "invented the decisive instrument to delete the name of Christian from the very face of the earth."
