SSPX Silences Williamson

This is turning into a rather busy day for religious news. The latest shoe to drop in the ongoing SSPX saga fell today with the announcement that Bishop Fellay (the superior general of the SSPX) has ordered Bishop Williamson to refrain from any further comments on "historical and political" matters. He also pointedly apologized to the Pope for the embrassment his collegaue has caused. All well and good to be sure, but I can not help but note what was left unsaid. This statement did not condemn Williamson's odious opinions. Rather it condemnes the distraction and embarrsment they have created.

Rorate has the details.
