  • The Communists and the Bulgarian . Orthodox
    . The Communists and the Bulgarian .Orthodox Church, 1944-48: The Rise and Fall of Exarch Stefan SPAS T.RAIKIN For a long time before the communist takeover in Bulgaria on 9 Sep­ tember 1944, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Communist Party had been in a state of open hostility. The Bulgarian communists held firmly to the Marxist view that religion is the opium ofthe people. They carried on agitation at every level to discredit religion and the Church-. Intellectuals were told that to hold any religious beliefs is to regress to superstition. For the peasants and working classes, the priest was reduced to an object of ridicule for his laziness and immorality, illustrated with many degrading stories. This campaign, waged largely by young men who had. received some education in provincial towns, was conducted primarily in village taverns and on street corners where peasant youth congregated in the absence of any other social outlets, and was highly successful. To this challenge the Church could not find an adequate response. The mutually exclusive philosophical positions of Church and communism deprived both Church and Party of any point of contact. They remained total strangers, completely opposed to each other. The Communist Party never tried to infiltrate the Church or to create its own following there. Unlike the Orthodox Church in Yugoslavia, where numerous priests found themselves in the partisan groups of Marshal Tito, the Bulgarian Church was conspicuously absent from the "Fatherland Front" organised by the communists as a front to take over the country in 1944. The Church was part of the political and social order in the country, and was dependent upon this order for its survival.

  • PRESS RELEASE: POPE JOHN PAUL II AWARD DIOCESE of WATERFORD and LISMORE STUDENTS PILGRIMAGE to ROME Last Week, More Than 180
    PRESS RELEASE: POPE JOHN PAUL II AWARD DIOCESE OF WATERFORD AND LISMORE STUDENTS PILGRIMAGE TO ROME Last week, more than 180 young pilgrims from 11 dioceses across Ireland took part in the pilgrimage to Rome, including 15 from the Diocese of Waterford & Lismore with staff and students from Blackwater Community School in Lismore. Bishop Donal McKeown, Bishop of Derry and Patron of the Pope John Paul II Award, led the pilgrimage, joined by youth leaders and priests from the participating dioceses. During their visit, the group undertook a walking pilgrimage of the ‘seven churches of Rome’ led by Bishop McKeown as well as a night tour of the city, and visited the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museum and the Pontifical Irish College in Rome. For the feast of All Saints, Bishop McKeown celebrated Mass with the pilgrims at Saint Peter’s Basilica under the Chair of St Peter. Afterwards the pilgrims participated in a procession at the tomb of Saint John Paul II and said prayers to the Saint whom the award is dedicated to in honour of his love and vision for young people. The group later gathered at Saint Peter’s Square to pray the Angelus with Pope Francis, during which the Pope offered a special welcome to the pilgrims from Ireland. Of course being from Ireland, a singsong ensured with a great rendition of ‘Hail Glorious St Patrick’ for the Feast Day of All Saints. The day ended with a visit to the tomb of Saint Paul and evening prayer at the Cathedral of Saint Paul’s Outside the Walls.

"No Cardinal elector can be excluded from active or passive voice in the election of the Supreme Pontiff, for any reason or pretext, with due regard for the provisions of Nos. 40 and 75 of this Constitution."No. 37. "I furthermore decree that, from the moment when the Apostolic See is lawfully vacant, fifteen full days must elapse before the Conclave begins, in order to await those who are absent; nonetheless, the College of Cardinals is granted the faculty to move forward the start of the Conclave if it is clear that all the Cardinal electors are present; they can also defer, for serious reasons, the beginning of the election for a few days more.

  • 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.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS 18 January 1998 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts today and its theme is: "The Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Rom 8:26). The ecumenical challange faced by all disciples of Christ first demands much prayer. A common, continual prayer so that the Spirit of Jesus, despite human weaknesses and limitations, will help Christians to cross the threshold of the new millennium, "if not completely united, at least much closer to overcoming the divisions of the second millennium" (Tertio millennio adveniente, n. 34). We must not be resigned to these divisions. Instead, we must dare with the boldness of those who trust in God's help and use every means to take the path of sincere and respectful dialogue. We are in the second year of preparation for the Jubilee. It is the year dedicated to the Holy Spirit, who is truly the principal agent of every effort towards full unity. It is he, in fact, who makes present in every age the unique Revelation brought by Christ to humanity, making it alive and active in the heart of each individual and of the whole Church. Therefore, "in these last years of the milliennium, the Church should invoke the Holy Spirit with ever greater insistence, imploring from him the grace of Chrisian unity" (ibid.). 2. I now have the joy of announcing that on 21 February next, the eve of the feast of St Peter's Chair, I will hold a Consistory in which I will appoint 20 new Cardinals.
