the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith takes as a fundamental basis for a full reconciliation with the Apostolic See the acceptance of the Doctrinal Preamble which was delivered in the course of the meeting of September 14, 2011. This preamble enunciates some of the doctrinal principles and criteria of interpretation of Catholic doctrine necessary for ensuring fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church and to the sentire cuм Ecclesia, while leaving open to legitimate discussion the study and theological explanation of particular expressions and formulations present in the texts of the Second Vatican Council and of the Magisterium that followed it.

What is in this "preamble" makes or breaks it.

I wanna see this "doctrinal preamble." I'm pretty sure it's NOT the Athanasian Creed...

The heading at the bottom of CatholicInfo says Bishop Williamson retired. Is this true? Because I haven't heard anything about it.

I would like to draw your attention to the words "de facto".

He was de-facto forced into early retirement.

He hasn't chosen to retire, or officially retired.

BUT he has been removed from any professorial/rector position, as well as from any public work of the SSPX -- including confirmations and any public teaching/sermons.

So although he hasn't officially retired, he might as well have. The result is the same as if he had. That's the definition of "de facto".

Ok, thanks. Shame on me for not using a dictionary.
