In the Curia, No More Than Five Years and Then Out, Says the Pope In the Curia, No More Than Five Years and Then Out, Says the Pope. But There’s Many a Slip... Dll, 10/07/2017 URL article: http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2017/07/10/in-the-curia-no-mor… > Italiano > English > Español > Français > All the articles of Settimo Cielo in English * Commenting in “Allgemeine Zeitung” on his removal as prefect of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, which took place on July 2 at the exact expiration of his five-year mandate, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller reported that Pope Francis “no longer intends to prolong roles in the curia beyond five years, and that he was the first one to whom this practice has been applied.” That Müller’s removal is the first of this kind is beyond a doubt. So much so that in the days and months leading up to it other officials in the curia whose terms expired were kept in their positions by the pope. But it remains to be seen if in the future everyone will be removed at the end of their five years. Francis loves to move with a great deal of freedom when it comes to the rules, which moreover include two age limits: 75, when a resignation letter is supposed to be sent to the pope, and the age of 80, when all curial positions are supposed to expire automatically. For example, the dean of the tribunal of the Roman Rota, Monsignor Pio Vito Pinto, is 76 but remains in his position. And it is doubtful that Francis will want to take him from it next September 22, when his five-year term will expire. To Pinto, in fact, the pope has entrusted himself “in toto” for the reform of the processes of marital nullity, in spite of his mediocre credentials as a canonist and the criticisms that have been heaped upon him because of the disjointed arrangement of the new procedures. 1 Not only that. Last June 19, Francis placed beside him as chancellor his protege Daniele Cancilla, the first layman to be promoted to this important role, in spite of the fact that he had been fired for bad conduct from the Italian episcopal conference where he had long been in charge of aid for foreign dioceses but where he had also forged a friendship with none other than the archbishop of Buenos Aires at the time, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, one of the beneficiaries. Returning to the Müller case, it must also be noted that Francis is reshaping the congregation for the doctrine of the faith to his own liking not only with the removal of the prefect unacceptable to him, but even more with the preceding and unexpected appointment as undersecretary of a man closely bound to him, Monsignor Giacomo Morandi, called there from outside - he was vicar general of the diocese of Modena - on the advice of Cardinal Beniamino Stella, a former nuncio to Cuba and Colombia and now the prefect of the congregation for the clergy, perhaps the closest to Bergoglio among all the cardinals of the curia. It was on Morandi’s advice that the pope summarily fired, a few months ago, three high-ranking officials of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith greatly esteemed by Müller. A firing that made quite a stir. * But let’s take a more detailed look at the state of service of various curia officials whose mandates have expired in recent days and months but have remained at their posts. - Last July 1, the day before Müller’s removal, brought the end of a second five- year term for Argentine cardinal Leonardo Sandri, prefect of the congregation for the Oriental Churches. But he’s still there. - June 26 brought the end of a five-year term for English archbishop Arthur Roche, secretary of the congregation for divine worship. But cardinal prefect Robert Sarah still finds him at his side, and certainly not to his satisfaction considering their clashing viewpoints. - Last February 15 brought the end of a second five-year term for Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, president of the pontifical council for legislative texts. But Pope Francis has not removed him, in spite of the fact that he is over the age of 79. Enlisted among the defenders of communion for the divorced and remarried, Coccopalmerio seems to have survived even the scandal that three months ago toppled his secretary, Monsignor Luigi Capozzi, caught in flagrante by the Vatican gendarmes in his apartment in the building of the Sant'Uffizio during a drug-fueled gay sex party. - August 18, 2016 was the 75th birthday of Cardinal Beniamino Stella, prefect of the congregation for the clergy and very influential with the pope. But he is still in office. * And now let’s see a list of curia heads whose terms will expire in the near future and whom the pope - according to what Müller has reported - should little by little dismiss. 2 - Next September 1 would be the turn of Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, when he comes to the end of his second five-year term as president of the pontifical council for interreligious dialogue. - On September 3 it will be Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the pontifical council for culture, at the end of his second five-year term. And the following October 18 he will turn 75. - September 8 will be the 75th birthday of the Argentine Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the pontifical academy of sciences and of the pontifical academy of social sciences. And next year, on October 5, 2018, he will also finish his fourth five-year term of service. - September 22 will bring the end, as stated above, of the five-year term of 76-year- old Monsignor Pinto, dean of the Roman Rota. - October 1 will be the 75th birthday of Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, president of the governorate of Vatican City State. - October 1 will bring the end of a second five-year term for pontifical master of ceremonies Monsignor Guido Marini. - On December 7 it will be Archbishop Georg Gänswein, secretary of “pope emeritus” Joseph Ratzinger, who ends his five-year term as prefect of the pontifical household. - February 3, 2018 will be the 75th birthday of Cardinal Domenico Calcagno, president of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, APSA, who has close ties with Pope Francis and has remained in his role even after the expiration of his first five-year term on July 7, 2016. - On April 6, 2018 it will be Archbishop José Rodríguez Carballo who will arrive at the end of his five-year term as secretary of the congregation for religious. - July 9 will bring the expiration of a second term for Cardinal Angelo Amato - who will be 80 years old as of that date - prefect of the congregation for the causes of saints. - July 10 of 2018 will be the 75th birthday of Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia, adjunct secretary of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, confirmed in this role on September 21, 2013 “until reaching the age of 75.” - August 3, 2018 will bring the end of a first five-year term for the almoner of His Holiness, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski. - September 21, 2018 will bring the end of a five-year term for the secretary general of the synod of bishops, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, who is already 77 years old and is another favorite of Pope Francis. - October 12, 2018 will be the turn of Brazilian archbishop Ilson de Jesus Montanari, at the end of his first five-year term as secretary of the congregation for bishops, placed in this crucial role by Pope Francis himself, to whom he reports directly. 3 * Theoretically, all of these should be dismissed one after the other, according to the procedure applied first to Cardinal Müller. But in practice, what will Francis do? The bets are open. (English translation by Matthew Sherry, Ballwin, Missouri, U.S.A.) 4.

  • Pope Names South Korea Bishop Prefect for Clergy
    Pope names South Korea bishop prefect for clergy VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis has appointed South Korean Bishop Lazarus You Heung-sik of Daejeon as the new prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Clergy. The Vatican made the announcement June 11, adding that the outgoing prefect, Italian Cardinal Beniamino Stella, 79, would remain at the congregation until the new prefect could assume his role. The new prefect has also been made an archbishop, the Vatican added. Born Nov. 17, 1951, in Nonsan, Archbishop You studied in Seoul and in Rome, where he received his doctorate in dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Lateran University. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1979 and served in a variety of positions in the Diocese of Daejeon, including spiritual director, professor and finally president of the Catholic University of Daejeon. St. John Paul II named him coadjutor bishop of Daejeon in 2003 and he became head of the diocese in 2005. Within the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea, he has been a member of many commissions, including those for mission and pastoral care, social affairs, and the pastoral care of migrants and foreign residents. He was president of the bishops’ committee for Caritas Korea from 2004 to 2008. He has been a member of the conference’s Commission for Clergy and Religious since 2005 and had been a member of the Pontifical Council for “Cor Unum” until it was absorbed by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in 2017. Archbishop You hosted events held in Daejeon as part of the Sixth Asian Youth Day, sponsored by the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences, and attended by Pope Francis in 2014.

  • 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.

  • CNI News JUNE 26
    June 26, 2019 Aughrim church takes a lead on climate action Planting Hope: the first new tree in Aughrim's Climate Action Woodland. [email protected] Page !1 June 26, 2019 Last Saturday, a Church of Ireland parish launched an exciting new initiative to tackle the crisis of climate change. As part of the bicentenary celebrations of Holy Trinity Church, plans were announced for a new Climate Action Woodland, to be developed on a picturesque site in the historic village of Aughrim. The very first tree of the new Climate Action Woodland was planted in memory of the late Michael Hyde, by members of his family. It was part of an inter–church ceremony led by the bishop of Limerick and Killaloe, the Right Reverend Kenneth Kearon, alongside Fr Gerard Geraghty, Archdeacon Wayne Carney, the Reverend Patrick Towers, and the Reverend John Godfrey, rector of the Aughrim and Creagh parish unions. “We feel that we can’t just sit back and ignore the crisis of climate change any longer. If we are to look our children and grandchildren in the eye, then we as a church urgently need to take a lead on climate action in our own community,” said Mr Godfrey. “This Climate Action Woodland will help to take carbon out of the atmosphere and protect biodiversity. But even more importantly, as people use it, it could inspire them to make brave changes in their own lifestyles. This is a symbol of hope, that if we act together now, we can stop climate change spiralling out of control.” Whilst enabling people to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the new woodland walk will also encourage them to reconnect with the ruins of an ancient abbey on those grounds.

  • Nature and Peculiarities of the Briefer Process Before the Bishop
    Nature and peculiarities of the briefer process before the Bishop Msgr. Alejandro W. BUNGE CLSA, October 13th, 2020 Introduction The legislative initiative of Pope Francis to renew the special procedural law that governs the process to declare the nullity of marriage1 came at an opportune time. The simplification and speed up of the process was requested by the Bishops of the whole world, and the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops asked “the possibility of determining an administrative path under the responsibility of the diocesan bishop”, and also “a summary process to be initiated in cases of self-evident nullity” 2. While the first of these proposals has not been accepted, thus preserving the judicial procedure for the declaration of nullity, “not because it is imposed by the nature of the thing, but rather by the need to protect the truth of the sacred bond to the utmost degree”3, the second one was accepted by the Holy Father, establishing the process we are now presenting. This new process to declare the nullity of marriage, called the “briefer marriage process before the Bishop”4, which is added and does not overlap or merge with existing ones (the ordinary and the documentary), is what likely arouses most curiosity, not just for the novelty, but also and perhaps especially because its decision is entitled to the Bishop. The name itself entails the mission of the new process (brevior) making it clear that even the ordinary process to declare the nullity of marriage has been simplified and streamlined compared to the existing process before December the 8th, this new process, then, is to be intended not only to speed up the treatment of nullity cases, but also as the right tool to respond to those faithful who find themselves in the particular circumstance of an evident case of nullity, and at the same time, with an easily and irrefutable proven 1 FRANCIS, Litt.

As the Jan. 12 anniversary of the quake came and went, the “build back” slogan has faded from most discussions, but the work of rebuilding—in reality, building—a country has moved ahead even if progress has been slow and difficult to measure.

  • Briefing of the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, on the 26Th Meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis
    N. 180912e Wednesday 12.09.2018 Briefing of the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis At 13.00 today, the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, gave a briefing on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis. The Council of Cardinals met, as scheduled, for three days: Monday 10, Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 September. All members were present, apart from His Eminence Cardinal George Pell, His Eminence Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz, and His Eminence Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya. The Holy Father, as usual, participated in the work of the Council, although he was absent on three occasions: late Monday morning, for the audience with His Eminence Cardinal Beniamino Stella; on Tuesday morning, due to the ad Limina Apostolorum visit of the Episcopal Conference of Venezuela; and this morning, for the General Audience. The meetings on Monday and Tuesday took place in the morning from 9.00 to 12.00, and in the afternoon from 16.30 to 19.00. The session concluded this morning at 10.30. The majority of the Council’s work was dedicated to the final adjustments to the draft of the new Apostolic Constitution of the Roman Curia, provisionally entitled Praedicate evangelium. The Council of Cardinals has already submitted to the Holy Father the provisional text which will however undergo stylistic revision and a canonistic review. As already communicated on Monday, during the first session of this 26th meeting, the Council of Cardinals asked the Pope to reflect on the work, structure and composition of the Council itself, also taking into consideration the advanced age of some members.

  • 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.
