  • Pope Leaves Mozambique Urging Reconciliation, Care for One Another
    Pope leaves Mozambique urging reconciliation, care for one another MAPUTO, Mozambique (CNS) — When Jesus told his disciples to love one another and pray for their enemies, he meant it — even disciples in a nation like Mozambique, where political tensions have led to violence, war and death, Pope Francis said. The pope ended his visit to Mozambique Sept. 6 with a visit to a health center founded to care for people living with HIV/AIDS and with a Mass nearby in Maputo’s Zimpeto Stadium, where a late winter rain fell intermittently. Bernadete Silva Fungalane came to the Mass from the Diocese of Pemba, in the northern Cabo Delgado province, where outbreaks of violent killings and pillaging have terrorized the population for the past few years. Wearing a headwrap and a skirt made of blue fabric with the pope’s image, she told Catholic News Service that the pope “can help stop the violence, first of all because he unites people. His words about reconciliation are very important for our people.” Before the recitation of the rosary began 90 minutes before the pope’s arrival, Silva Fungalane said, she knew in her heart that she would receive a blessing being at Mass and “all Mozambique will be blessed.” In his homily, Pope Francis insisted Jesus’ message about love and turning the other cheek was not simply a lovely platitude, but a call to courage and strength and trust in God alone. Jesus “is talking about specific enemies, real enemies, the kind he described” in the beatitudes: “those who hate us, exclude us, revile us and defame us,” the pope said.

  • Watykan Czterech Papieży
    KWIECIEŃ 2014 Nr 5.2/2014/59.2–e Cz. II Wydanie specjalne WATYKAN CZTERECH PAPIEŻY 13. marca, podczas drugiego dnia konklawe, zwołanego w związku z rezygnacją papieża Benedykta XVI, w piątym głosowaniu został wybrany argentyński kardynał Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Tradycyjny biały dym, obwieszczający światu wybór głowy Kościoła, pojawił się o godz. 1906. Franciszek na początku inauguracyjnego wystąpienia odmówił Modlitwę Pańską za swojego poprzednika, Benedykta XVI. Następnie poprosił wiernych o odmówienie modlitwy za swój pontyfikat, po czym udzielił pierwszego błogosławieństwa Urbi et Orbi. Wezwał też do modlitwy o ogólnoświatowe braterstwo. 23. marca, papież senior Benedykt XVI spotkał się w Castel Gandolfo z urzędującym papieżem. 2. maja 2013 r. emerytowany papież, po pobycie w Castel Gandolfo, powrócił do Watykanu. Zamieszkał tu w klasztorze Mater Ecclesiae. Papieża seniora przywitał jego następca, Franciszek oraz delegacja Watykanu z sekretarzem stanu kardynałem Bertone i dziekanem Kolegium Kardynalskiego kardynałem Sodano. 1 5. lipca 2013 r., Benedykt XVI po raz pierwszy od momentu abdykacji wziął udział razem z Franciszkiem w ceremonii zorganizowanej na terenie Watykanu. Jak podały media – podczas uroczystości odsłonięcia pomnika Michała Archanioła przed budynkiem gubernatorstwa Państwa Watykańskiego, obaj papieże siedzieli obok siebie.

  • Catholic Legal Immigration Network – Convening 2019 Westin Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 29, 2019
    1 ADDRESS OF ARCHBISHOP CHRISTOPHE PIERRE, APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO THE UNITED STATES CATHOLIC LEGAL IMMIGRATION NETWORK – CONVENING 2019 WESTIN CONVENTION CENTER, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA MAY 29, 2019 INTRODUCTION Good evening! I am happy to be here as you address the theme of migration at the 2019 Convening of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. I want to thank Anna Marie Gallagher, the Executive Director of CLINIC, as well as Bishop Vann, the Chairman of the Board, and Bishop Zubik for their kind invitation to be with you. As the Apostolic Nuncio, the representative of the Holy Father to the United States, I want to express the spiritual closeness and paternal affection of the Holy Father and to convey Pope Francis’ gratitude for your efforts directed toward the care of migrants. A theme close to the heart of the Holy Father is the subject of migration and refugees. On his recent trip to Morocco at the end of March, when meeting with refugees and seeing their woundedness, the Holy Father remarked that this is: “A wound that cries out to heaven. We do not want our response to be one of indifference and silence (cf. Ex 3:7). This is all the more the case today, when we witness many millions of refugees and other forced migrants seeking international protection, to say nothing of the victims of human trafficking and the new forms of enslavement being perpetrated by criminal organizations. No one can be indifferent to this painful situation.” (POPE FRANCIS, ADDRESS DURING MEETING WITH MIGRANTS, 30 MARCH 2019) From the beginning of his Pontificate, the Holy Father has made their situation one of his priorities, beginning with his visit to Lampedusa.

    CONGREGAZIONE PER I VESCOVI SAFEGUARDING OF MINORS PART OF THE DNA OF THE CHURCH'S MISSION Rev. P. HANS ZOLLNER SJ Presiden0 Centre for Child Protectz'on Pontifical Gregorian University) Rome Throughout the whole Church, people are feeling some part of the ex­ perience that those who have been abused describe: outrage, shame, deep SE VITO I DELLA GIOIA sadness, conflicting feelings, an urgency to do something about it. Because abusive behavior has been going on and covered up for so long, it has entered into the system, and we are now observing something like an DEL VANGELO epidemic outbreak of a disease. What we see shows that the Church adminis­ tration to some degree had lost its compass. Priests used other people's lives Atti del corso annuale di formazione for their own purposes and needs, and the hierarchy was to some extent cov- per i nuovi Vescovi ering it up. It may be simplistic, but I think it is the correct perception, that what we do in terms of safeguarding measures, cleaning up and investigating, we don't do it with a fullycommitted heart and with full conviction; we hesitate to re­ ally get into the mess and admit the scale of its impact. We try to do it as if it were an add-on. We turn it on when we think we need it, switch it off when we don't. It's in the Church's DNA, it's inbuilt, but we don't use it; that's what people perceive. While it is true that for years many people in the Church have committed themselves to helping with healing and justice for victims, there is still the im­ pression that we are working primarily out of a sense of obligation, because the law and the public require certain measures.

Serving the Church in Central and Southern Indiana Since 1960 CriterionOnline.com May 18, 2018 Vol. LVIII, No. 31 75¢ ‘Selfie’ culture leads to alienation, departure from ‘I finally found my home’ reality, pope says ROME (CNS)—While taking selfies can be an occasion to capture treasured memories, it can also be a sign that young men and women are deprived of meaningful human interaction with others, Pope Francis said. Responding to questions on May 14 at a meeting with 1,700 priests and lay leaders of the Diocese of Rome gathered at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the pope said he realized the negative social implications of technology a few days earlier when Pope Francis he was greeting teens participating in a program of the international network of “Scholas Occurrentes.” “They were all there waiting for me,” he said. “When I arrived, they made noise, as young people do. I went to greet them and only a few gave their hand. The majority were with their cellphones [saying], ‘Photo, photo, photo. Selfie!’ “I saw that this is their reality, that is the real world, not human contact. And this is serious. They are ‘virtualized’ youths,” the pope said. “The world of virtual communication is a good thing, but when it becomes alienating, it makes you forget to shake hands.” Archbishop Angelo De Donatis, vicar of the Diocese of Rome, had asked Pope Francis about his impressions of the meeting in March in preparation for the upcoming meeting of the Synod of Bishops on “young people, faith and Catechumen Hannah Bach, vocational discernment,” and how the 18, is guided into the Church should respond to the needs of baptismal font at St.
