Denies the holocaust happened.

the ritual rights open too

Or that he can officiate as a
Bishop?.

As i understand it he can take a full part again in church matters and yes, is still a Bishop. Goes to show how out of touch our German Pope is! Laughable really isn't it? He was a Hitler youth then he gets this fool to deal with. Wonder if he has explained exactly what happened to all those Jewish people, Gypsies and infirm people who went on train journeys to Poland? Personally, i would make this recalcitrant 'Bishop' go to Auschwitz and see the evidence with his own eyes - stupid man! |

It's not necessarily what the bishop does, but the area he governs over. A bishop is responsible for all the souls in his diocese (or area he governs) and if that area is large enough, it's called an archdiocese. The title of archbishop simply refers to a bishop who resides over an archdiocese, thus having more people to watch over. It has no relation to the bishop's achievements, etc., but rather the are and population of the diocese he's in charge of. Hope that helped :] |
