The encyclical, titled “Spe Salvi” (“Saved by Hope”), will be presented at a Vatican press confer- ence by Cardinal Pope Benedict XVI Georges Cottier, the retired theologian of the papal household, and Cardinal Albert Vanhoye, a retired professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. Sources have said the encyclical, about 65 pages long, explores the theme of salvation and the hope offered by Christianity in light of modern philosophy and contemporary culture.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MASS FOR THE EPISCOPAL ORDINATION OF FIVE NEW BISHOPS HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Vatican Basilica Saturday, 12 September 2009 Images of the celebration Dear Brothers and Sisters, We greet with affection and cordially join in the joy of our five brother priests whom the Lord has called to be successors of the Apostles: Mons. Gabriele Giordano Caccia, Mons. Franco Coppola, Mons. Pietro Parolin, Mons. Raffaello Martinelli and Mons. Giorgio Corbellini. I am grateful to each one of them for the faithful service they have rendered to the Church, working in the Secretariat of State, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or the Governorate of Vatican City State. I am certain that in their new fields of pastoral action they will carry out with the same love for Christ and the same zeal for souls the ministry that is entrusted to them today with their episcopal Ordination. In accordance with the Apostolic Tradition, this Sacrament is conferred through the imposition of hands and prayer. The laying on of hands takes place in silence. Human words are hushed. The soul opens in silence to God whose hand reaches out to the man and takes him for his own. At the same time, he invests him to protect him so that he may become entirely God's property, belonging to him fully and leading men and women into God's hands. Prayer follows, however, as a second fundamental element of the act of consecration. Episcopal Ordination is an event of prayer. No man can make another man a priest or a Bishop.

  • Observations on Pope Francis' "March 24, 2021” Comments ROBERT FASTIGGI
    Ecce Mater Tua Observations on Pope Francis' "March 24, 2021” Comments ROBERT FASTIGGI Vatican II teaches that we must adhere to ordinary teachings of the Roman Pontiff according to his manifest mind and will, which may be known— among other indications— “from his manner of speaking” (Lumen Gentium, 25). In general audiences, discourses, and homilies, popes sometimes express personal opinions without intending to impose their views on the faithful. On March 24, the day before the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pope Francis dedicated his Wednesday General Audience to prayer in communion with Mary. In his audience, the Holy Father reminds us that Christian prayer is directed to God “through Christ, with Christ and in Christ.” Referring to the Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC] no, 2674, he points out that “Christ is the Mediator; Christ is the bridge that we cross to turn to the Father.” He then states that Christ is the only Redeemer: there are no co- redeemers with Christ.” As with any text, including Sacred Scripture, we must understand what is said within a context, taking into account “the manner of speaking” and the intention of the author. When the Holy Father says there are no co-redeemers with Christ, he is highlighting Christ’s unique status as the God-man, the one Mediator between God and the human race (1 Tim 2:5). His intention is made clear when he cites Acts 4:12: “there is no other name by which we can be saved.” He is certainly not denying the teaching of Vatican II that “the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source” (Lumen Gentium, 62).

    Letter of Dr. Robert Fastiggi in Response to the Cardinal Mueller Report Dr. Robert Fastiggi June 15, 2017 His Eminence Cardinal Gerhard Müller Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Palazzo del Sant’Ufficio 00120 Città del Vaticano Your Eminence, Greetings in the Lord! I am writing first to express my heartfelt gratitude for your work as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. I am espe- cially grateful for your explanation of the Holy Father’s exhortation, Amoris laetitia, in harmony with the full Catholic teaching on the Sacrament of Matrimony. I was very encouraged by what you said in your interview with the journal, Il Timone: “It is not Amoris laetitia that has provoked a confused interpretation, but some con- fused interpreters of it” (Non è “Amoris laetitia” che ha provocato una confusa interpreta- zione, ma alcuni confusi interpreti di essa). I read with interest your interview with Father Carlos Granados, which was published in English as The Cardinal Müller Report (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2017). You bring forth so many excellent insights that I hesitate to bring up a point of disagreement. I believe, however, that I must respond to your rejection of the Marian title, Co-redemptrix (Corredentora), which is translated into English as “co- redeemer” on p. 133 of The Cardinal Müller Report. Here is the passage that I find difficult to accept. [T]heologians and preachers should especially avoid two risks: on the one hand, that of falsely exaggerating per excessum, attrib- uting to the Virgin what is not attributable to her (for example, the Church, despite Mary’s privileged position on the work of salvation, does not call her “co-redeemer,” because the only Re- deemer is Christ and she herself has been redeemed sublimiore modo, as Lumen gentium [n.

  • On the Natural and Revealed Meaning of Human Sexuality: Response to John Hittinger's “Plato and Aristotle on the Family
    On the Natural and Revealed Meaning of Human Sexuality: Response to John Hittinger’s “Plato and Aristotle on the Family and the Polis” Paul Gondreau, Providence College In his essay, Prof. John Hittinger suggests that a metaphysical understanding of the human being is needed for an adequate understanding of human sexuality, and that the Christian faith sheds considerable, even new, light on such an understanding. Responding to this, this essay argues that in an anthropology that takes the body as integral to our human identity, in contrast to a Cartesian-like account which does not, human sexuality is naturally ordered to marriage as a procreative-unitive institution. As a body-soul composite unity, the human being enjoys a dual (yet inseparable) ordering to the joint goods of procreation and unitive love. The biblical account, particularly the Genesis creation narrative, confirms unequivocally this joint ordering and lends especial attention to the personalist or unitive ordering of our sexuality. That God himself, in his assumed humanity, takes on a (male) sexed nature, and that our sexuality gains a share in the sacramental economy through the sacrament of marriage indicates, indeed, what kind of “new” understanding of the meaning and purpose of human sexuality is offered in the Christian faith. In his paper on the family and the polis in Plato and Aristotle, Professor Hittinger turns toward a metaphysical understanding of the human being in order to gain an adequate grasp of human sexuality, or sexual differentiation, and its place in political society. I agree wholeheartedly with this approach. (So does Pope Benedict XVI, I might point out, who near the end of his pontificate asserted “the very notion of what being human really means” is called into question when society attempts to deny the “true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child.”1) I also appreciate Prof.

    721 Pregledni znanstveni članek/Article (1.02) Bogoslovni vestnik 78 (2018) 3,721—727 UDK: 272-185.36 Besedilo prejeto: 08/2018; sprejeto: 08/2018 Anton Štrukelj The Purification of Memory Abstract: Pope John Paul II asked several times forgiveness for the Church's guilt in the past. The public liturgical prayer in the Holy Year 2000 (March 12) was well-considered and carefully prepared, especially with the publication of a document of the International Theological Commission entitled: Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past. Pope John Paul II empha- sized: »Acknowledging the weaknesses of the past is an act of honesty and courage.« It shows the vitality of the Church, which can offer to individuals and to society an example of repentance and conversion. Pope Benedict XVI puts it bluntly: »This act of the purification of memory, of self-purification, of ope- ning oneself to the Lord's grace, which spurs us on to do good, serves also to make us credible in the eyes of the world.« Key words: Church, confession of sins, forgiveness, purification of memory, credi- bility, example to the society, sanctity of the Church Povzetek: Očiščenje spomina Papež Janez Pavel II. je ob raznih priložnostih prosil za odpuščanje grehov Cer- kve v preteklosti.
