The bishop, who had been serving as secre- tary-general of the Italian bishops’ conference, replaces Cardinal Domenico Calcagno, who submitted his resignation when he turned 75, as required by canon law. Pope Francis said that he was going to make significant changes with the administrative office, known by its Italian acronym, APSA, starting with appointing a new president who had “an attitude of renewal.” Cardinal “Calcagno knows the functioning well, but perhaps the mentality has to be re- newed,” the pope told Reuters. While reforms initiated by Pope Benedict XVI and stepped up by Pope Francis have sought to bring more accountability and transparency to the Vatican bank and Vatican offices, Pope Francis told the news agency he was still concerned “there is no transparency” in the Vatican’s real estate Diocese of Steubenville Bishop Jeffrey M.

  • Notizie Utili
    NOTIZIE UTILI A cura della segreteria della Parrocchia Beata Vergine Immacolata Notizie ..………… ..………… …..……… Giugno 2021, n. 4 Carissimi, accogliendo benevolmente la richiesta di chi, abituato alle precedenti pubblicazioni cartacee del giornalino parrocchiale, mi chiedeva gentilmente di non appesantirlo con altre notizie, seppur interessanti, ho ritenuto opportuno inserire in un documento a parte quanto possa risultare utile al nostro cammino di crescita umana e spirituale. Cambia leggermente la modalità ma non lo spirito con cui da anni siamo dediti a portare avanti l’impegno di informare per formare. Lo scopo di questo servizio nasce semplicemente dal desiderio di comunicare e far conoscere ciò che a livello di chiesa locale, nazionale ed universale, accade quotidianamente nel mondo, evidenziando gli eventi più importanti. Buona lettura a tutti! In Cristo Fra Antonio M. Petrosino Parroco dell’Immacolata 1 DISCORSO DI PAPA FRANCESCO ALLA FRATERNITÀ POLITICA E ALLA COMUNITÀ “CHEMIN NEUF” Sala del Concistoro, Venerdì, 30 aprile 2021 Cari amici,do il mio benvenuto a voi, membri della Fraternità politica Chemin Neuf e, attraverso di voi, esprimo di cuore il mio saluto ai giovani di diversi Paesi che, come voi, beneficiano delle competenze e dell’accompagnamento della Comunità Chemin Neuf. Vi ringrazio di aver fatto questo spostamento fino a Roma, malgrado le limitazioni della pandemia. Con voi rendo grazie al Signore per l’opera del suo Spirito, che si manifesta nel vostro cammino umano e spirituale al servizio del bene comune e dei poveri specialmente, cammino che compite rifiutando la miseria e operando per un mondo più giusto e fraterno. Infatti, nella corsa sfrenata all’avere, alla carriera, agli onori o al potere, i deboli e i piccoli sono spesso ignorati e respinti, o considerati come inutili, anzi – e questo non sta lì [nel testo] – sono considerati come materiale di scarto.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • Memorie Autobiografiche Di Don Paolo Riccardi: Parte 4
    Incarichi Nazionali Paolo Ricciardi 228 Una vita di fatti, di sogni e di speranze Incarichi Nazionali I. Membro della prima Commissione Presbiterale Italiana Per decisione della C.E.I., è stata istituita la Commissione Pre- sbiterale Italiana, composta da due sacerdoti eletti da ciascuna delle Commissioni Regionali del Clero e dai rappresentanti di alcuni Or- dini religiosi in Italia. Sono stato eletto rappresentante del Clero della Regione Puglia e riconfermato per altre due volte, e quindi ho partecipato alle riu- nioni trimestrali per ben quindici anni. Insieme ad altri cinque, sono stato designato dai membri della C.P.I. a partecipare alle assemblee annuali della C.E.I. due volte (1975 e 1980). Quasi tutti i Consiglieri sono stati nominati cardinali (Giovanni Saldarini e Domenico Calcagno) e vescovi. Ho collaborato con i presidenti Guglielmo Giaquinta, Enrico Bartoletti, Luigi Maverna, Ennio Antonelli e Giuseppe Betori. La C.E.I. ha sempre provveduto alle spese di vitto e alloggio a Roma e altrove. La C.E.P. doveva provvedere al rimborso delle spese per il viaggio, erogate dalla C.E.I. tramite la C.E.P. Non ho ricevuto mai rimborsi, anche se richiesti per iscritto. Agli inizi e nei primi anni la C.P.I. ha dato il mio contributo sui problemi che riguardavano il clero italiano. Nei primi anni abbiamo lavorato per proporre soluzioni su pro- blemi economici, formativi e pastorali del Clero, discussi anche in sotto commissioni riunite quasi sempre in amene località dell’Italia settentrionale. Con il passare degli anni, come avviene per gli altri organismi di partecipazione ecclesiale, l’O.d.g., preparato dal direttivo con il pre- sidente, si riduceva ad ascoltare qualche conferenziere sulla forma- zione permanente del Clero, sui problemi della Scuola in Italia, dell’Unione Europea, dell’A.C.I., ecc.

  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.
