Traditionalists and Jews – Bishop Williamson and Bishop Tissier de Malleraise of the Society of St. Pius X

Some Traditional Catholics continue to maintain attitudes to the Jews similar to those that the Roman Catholic Church used to promote.

Bishop Williamson was the rector of the SSPX’s St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary at Winona, Minnesota until he moved to be rector of their Our Lady Co-Redemptrix Seminary in La Reja, Argentina in 2003. He is one of the bishops consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. He is, of course, well known among Traditional Catholics. We shall quote some passages from his writings, some of which are online at SSPX sites, to exhibit his claims regarding the Jews.

Bishop Williamson denies that there was a Jewish holocaust

Bishop Williamson denies that there was a holocaust in the 1940s.

“There was not one Jew killed in the gas chambers. It was all lies, lies, lies. The Jews created the Holocaust so we would prostrate ourselves on our knees before them and approve of their new State of Israel.... Jews made up the Holocaust and the Vatican has sold its soul to liberalism.”

Bishop Williamson claims that there is a Jewish plot for world domination as outlined in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

Bishop Williamson claims that the Jews scheme for world domination as planned in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He says that it is God’s doing that men possess this book so that they are able to understand the Jewish plots. He explains that Adolf Hitler “liberated” Germany from their control and was a threat to their plans for world domination. In his monthly Letter to Friends and Benefactors of the SSPX’s St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Winona of May 2000, he wrote as follows.

“God puts in men’s hands the “Protocols of the Sages of Sion” and the “Rakovsky Interview”, if men want to know the truth, but few do.

“What Rakovsky told Stalin’s agent was that as far as “they” were concerned (meaning the internationalist plotters for world control by money) he, Stalin, had betrayed their Communist Revolution in Russia. So to bring Stalin down, “they” had brought Hitler to power by giving to his Nazi party crucial financial support in the late 1920’s.

“However, Hitler, by issuing his own money to replace their debtmoney, was now liberating Germany from their control, a liberation so threatening to their worldpower that they were now willing to forget their feud with Stalin and join with him in crushing Hitler. So here was the deal, said Rakovsky: if Stalin would put out feelers to Hitler for a HitlerStalin pact, to include a joint invasion and partitioning of Poland, then Stalin would get all kinds of decisive help from the USA and from other unexpected quarters, and when the HitlerStalin deal had produced the desirable war to crush Hitler, then Stalin could be given Europe (in the event he got half of it). But if Stalin would not put out those feelers towards Hitler, then he could expect from those same quarters to be crushed himself!”

Bishop Williamson has quoted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in some of his Letters to Friends and Benefactors. He wrote, quoting the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion that “nearly 100 years ago” Christ’s enemies were bragging.

“We have long past taken care to discredit the priesthood of the goyim, and thereby to ruin their mission on earth, which in these days might still be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the peoples of the world is falling lower. Freedom of conscience has been declared everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that Christian religion... We shall set clericalism and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence move in retrogressive proportion to its former progress.” (Protocol No. 17 of Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion)

In his November 3, 1991 Letter to Friends and Benefactors he quoted Protocol 10, giving the reference for it in his letter.

“Now the vile media played no doubt a large part in inflating the issue out of all proportion, in order amongst other things, whichever side won, to bring the Supreme Court into disrepute: “...it is indispensable to stir up the people’s relations with their governments in all countries so as utterly to exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy... so that the goyim see no other course open to them than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and all else” (Pr. 10).”

In same Letter he quoted Protocol 14, again giving the reference in his text.

“Take another example of this grave disruption of nature in the U.S.A. today: the invasion of public life by gays and lesbians, men and women being “delivered up to shameful affections...changing the natural use into that which is against nature” (Rom. I, 26, 27), then flaunting their unnatural vice in public and being rewarded by the vile media with a blaze of publicity. And decent citizens seem unable to do much about it, partly no doubt because “in countries known as progressive and enlightened, we have created a senseless, filthy, abominable literature” (Pr. 14).”

Bishop Williamson claims that there is a Jewish plot to destroy the Catholic Church

Bishop Williamson claims that the Jews have perennially attempted to destroy Christianity. In his Letter to Friends and Benefactors of June 2000 the Bishop wrote as follows.

“And secondly, down 2,000 years Jews have repeatedly sought to undermine the Catholic Church and to take Christ out of Christendom (leaving only endom or enddoom!).”

In his Letter to Friends and Benefactors of April 2000 the Bishop wrote as follows.

“Just as the chief priests and ancients hated Jesus unto death, but they needed an Apostle to betray him, so we may blame Jews and Freemasons and others like them for engineering the destruction of the Church, but it has taken churchmen from within to do the actual betraying and destroying.”

Bishop Tissier de Malleraise makes similar claims

Bishop Williamson is not the only outspoken bishop of the SSPX. Another consecrated by Archbishop Lefebvre, Bishop Tissier de Malleraise claimed that the Jews are odious (worthy of hatred) to the nations through their perfidy and are the workers of the anti-Christ. In his article, The Jews in the Latter Times in the May 1997 edition of the SSPX’s periodical Catholic, he explained the following to the Society faithful regarding the Jews.

“Their grave defects rendered them odious to the nations among which they were established. All this makes us think that the Jews are the most active artisans for the coming of antichrist.”
