COMMUNIQUE CONCERNING THE SOCIETY OF ST. PIUS X
Vatican City, 16 March 2012 (VIS) - Given below is the text of a communique
relating to the Society of St. Pius X, released this morning by the Holy See
Press Office.
"During the meeting of 14 September 2011 between Cardinal William Levada,
prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and president of the
Pontifical Commission 'Ecclesia Dei', and Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior
general of the Society of
St. Pius X, the latter was presented with a Doctrinal Preamble, accompanied by
a Preliminary Note, as a fundamental basis for achieving full reconciliation
with the Apostolic See. This defined certain doctrinal principles and criteria
for the
interpretation Catholic doctrine, which are necessary to ensure faithfulness
to the Church Magisterium and 'sentire cum Ecclesia'.
"The response of the Society of St. Pius X to the aforesaid Doctrinal
Preamble, which arrived in January 2012, was examined by the Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith before being submitted to the Holy Father for his
judgement. Pursuant to the
decision made by Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop Fellay was, in a letter delivered
today, informed of the evaluation of his response. The letter states that the
position he expressed is not sufficient to overcome the doctrinal problems
which lie at the
foundation of the rift between the Holy See and the Society of St. Pius X.
"At the end of today's meeting, moved by concern to avoid an ecclesial rupture
of painful and incalculable consequences, the superior general of the Society
of St. Pius X was invited to clarify his position in order to be able to heal
the existing rift,
as is the desire of Pope Benedict XVI".

CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH HAS A NEW DOMAIN: WWW
DOCTRINAFIDEI.VA
Vatican City, 16 March 2012 (VIS) - The Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith has opened a new domain (www.doctrinafidei.va) within the official
website of the Holy See. In this way, the congregation hopes to facilitate the
consultation of its
documents which, having the express approbation of the Holy Father,
participate in his ordinary Magisterium as the Peter's Successor. Attentive
reception of these texts is important for all members of the faithful and in
particular for those who are
engaged in theological and pastoral work.
The major documents are available in eight languages: Latin, French, English,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Polish. Certain documents are also
available in Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, and Dutch. There is a general list of
all the texts
organised chronologically, and three subgroups of these texts, divided into
doctrinal, disciplinary and sacramental documents.
The new domain also presents information on the Congregation's series
"Documenti e Studi", which are individual printed volumes presenting a major
document of the Congregation together with commentaries by noted theologians.
There is also a description
of the volumes containing the proceedings of various symposia organised by the
Congregation in recent years, as well as speeches and other contributions by
cardinal prefects.
A communique by the congregation published this morning explains how "wider
distribution of the teaching of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
is necessary in today's world. The documents of the congregation which have
been published since
the time of Vatican Council II ... deal with significant questions for the
life and mission of the Church and give important doctrinal responses to the
challenges of our times. ... The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is
convinced that the
enhanced availability of these documents will be of significant value in
communicating the teaching of the Church to people throughout the world".
The old domain address of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
remains active within the official website of the Holy See.
