The cardinals-designate are from Bolivia, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Peru, Madagascar, Mexico and Spain. Pope Francis explained that the places from where the new cardinals come “expresses the universality of the Church, which contin- ues to announce the merciful love of God to all men and women on earth”. He said their nominations “manifest the unbreakable bond between the See of Peter and the lo- cal Churches throughout the world”. The 11 new cardinals under the age of 80, who will be active participants in a future conclave, are: ● Patriarch Louis Raphaël I Sako, Iraqi, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylon and the Head of the Chaldean Catholic Church. ● Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, Spaniard, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. ● Archbishop Angelo De Donatis, Italian, Vicar General of Rome. ● Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, Italian, Substitute of the Vatican’s Secretariat of State. ● Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, Polish, Almoner of the Office of Papal Charities. ● Archbishop Joseph Coutts, of Karachi, Pakistan. ● Bishop António Augusto dos Santos Marto, Bishop of Leiria-Fátima, Portugal. ● Archbishop Pedro Ricardo Barreto Jimeno, Archbishop of Huancayo, Peru. ● Archbishop Désiré Tsarahazana, Archbishop of Toamasina, Madagascar. ● Archbishop Giuseppe Petrocchi, Archbishop of L’Aquila, Italy. ● Archbishop Thomas Aquino Manyo Maeda, Archbishop of Osaka, Japan. Pope Francis also created three new cardinals who are above the age of 80, deciding to honor them for their service to the Church. These men are: Archbishop Sergio Obeso Rivera, the Archbishop Emeritus of Xalapa, Mexico; Bishop Toribio Ticona Porco, the emeritus of Corocoro, Bolivia; and Father Aquilino Bocos Merino, a Spanish Claretian.

    REVISTA “ESTUDIOS INSTITUCIONALES” Nº 1, VOL. 1 [Páginas 73-100] 2014 La reforma de la Curia Romana del Papa Francisco Pope Francis reform of the Roman Curia Enrique Somavilla Rodríguez1 CTSA [email protected] Recepción: 17/11/14 Revisión: 20/11/14 Aceptación: 22/12/14 Publicación: 05/01/15 Resumen La Iglesia Católica ha llevado a cabo varias reformas de la Curia romana, semper reformanda, de acuerdo con las exigencias de los nuevos tiempos, de la vida eclesial y del propio espíritu conciliar. Pablo VI consiguió la acomodación a los postulados del Concilio Vaticano II mediante la Constitución apostólica Regimini Ecclesiae Universae. Los cambios efectuados por Juan Pablo II, con la Constitución apostólica Pastor Bonus, significaron la adaptación al Código de Derecho canónico de 1983. La reforma de la Curia romana acometida por el papa Francisco deja de lado muchas de tradiciones protocolarias propias de la Sede Apostólica a lo largo de los siglos y nos manifiesta un cambio de época que afecta, de forma singular, a instituciones como el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano, la Santa Sede y propia la Iglesia Católica, tal y como veremos en la nueva Constitución Apostólica, cuya publicación está prevista para febrero de 2015. Palabras clave: Iglesia Católica, Curia Romana, reforma, Francisco, protocolo. Abstract Catholic Church has carried out several reforms of the Roman Curia, semper reformanda, in accordance to the requirements of the new times, the ecclesiastical life and the conciliar spirit. 1 Dr. en Teología Dogmática y en Derecho y en Protocolo.

  • 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.

  • Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: the Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome As First Cardinal Protector of England
    2017 IV Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Susan May Article: Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England1 Susan May Abstract: Between 1492 and 1503, Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) was the first officially appointed Cardinal Protector of England. This paper focuses on a select few of his activities executed in that capacity for Henry Tudor, King Henry VII. Drawing particularly on two unpublished letters, it underscores the importance for King Henry of having his most trusted supporters translated to significant bishoprics throughout the land, particularly in the northern counties, and explores Queen Elizabeth of York’s patronage of the hospital and church of St Katharine-by-the-Tower in London. It further considers the mechanisms through which artists and humanists could be introduced to the Tudor court, namely via the communication and diplomatic infrastructure of Italian merchant-bankers. This study speculates whether, by the end of his long incumbency of forty-three years at the Sacred College, uncomfortably mindful of the extent of a cardinal’s actual and potential influence in temporal affairs, Piccolomini finally became reluctant to wield the power of the purple. Keywords: Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini; Henry VII; early Tudor; cardinal protector; St Katharine’s; Italian merchant-bankers ope for only twenty-six days following his election, taking the name of Pius III (Fig. 1), Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) has understandably been P overshadowed in reputation by his high-profile uncle, Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II (1458–64).

  • Liturgy, an "Investigation" Into Cardinal Sarah's Management Gets Underway
    VATICAN Liturgy, an "investigation" into Cardinal Sarah's management gets underway ECCLESIA 16-03-2021 Nico Spuntoni Three weeks after Pope Francis's acceptance of Cardinal Robert Sarah's resignation there could be a turning point in the mystery as to why the Prefect's job has been left disturbingly vacant According to information gathered by The Daily Compass, in fact, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has been ordered to undergo an Apostolic Visitation starting Monday, March 15. This is particularly noteworthy because it is not a diocese nor a religious order that is being investigated but rather a department of Roman curia. This is an investigation whose content and motives are presently unknown. Will it concern the former Guinean prefect’s past management or, rather, will it be directed more generally at the future of the Catholic liturgy? What we do know, for now, is that the Apostolic Visitor will likely be an Italian bishop. It will not be, however, Bishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, who many had picked as the likely successor of Sarah as prefect. According to sources gathered by Oltretevere, in fact, Bishop Claudio Maniago would lead the Apostolic Visitation at the Vatican’s Palace of the Congregations. Maniago, currently Bishop of Castellaneta (Southern Italy), is also President of Italian Bishops’ Conference’s Liturgical Commission. He is a choice, therefore, that would be in continuity with what was seen in the last Consistory: confirming the good times that the Italian episcopate - or at least a part of it – now seems to enjoying during Francis’s pontificate.

  • Tremors Abound As the Vatican’S Embezzlement Trial Begins
    Tremors abound as the Vatican’s embezzlement trial begins A criminal trial opened in Vatican City court on Tuesday that sees a once-powerful curial cardinal charged with embezzlement, criminal conspiracy and abuse of office. Joining Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu in the dock are nine other individuals — eight lay persons and one mid-level cleric — on various charges including extortion, fraud, conspiracy, money-laundering and forgery. By any measure, the business is a really big deal. Pope Francis forced Cardinal Becciu to resign as prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in 2020, and the pope also stripped him of the rights and privileges of his cardinal’s rank. Francis ordered a major criminal investigation and changed Vatican City law — the “civil” law that governs Vatican City State — so cardinals would be subject to trial in the City’s “regular” criminal courts. For his part, Cardinal Becciu on Tuesday renewed his protestations of innocence and pronounced himself “serene” before Vatican justice. He also told his lawyers to prepare lawsuits for slander, to be filed against Msgr. Alberto Perlasca — a key prosecution witness who was once at the center of the London deal — and Immacolata Chaouqui, a former Vatican official and central figure in the second VatiLeaks trial, who has said some very unflattering things about Cardinal Becciu to the press, some of which made it into the prosecutors’ paper filings. “I have always been obedient to the pope,” Cardinal Becciu told journalists after Tuesday’s hearing. “He has entrusted me with many missions in my life. He wanted me to come to trial, and I am coming to the trial.” Besides Cardinal Becciu, Msgr.

  • A Magisterium of Authority and Service
    138 A magisterium of authority and service Theodore Davey N 6 JANUARY 2001, POPE JOHN PAUL II issued an Apolistic Letter, O Nova millennio ineunte, in part four of which he reflects on the 'spirituality of communion'. There he states his conviction that the great challenge facing believers in the new millennium is how to make the Church the home and school of communion. This key scriptural concept occurs several times in Acts and in the Pauline epistles, denoting a sharing in God's gifts by individuals and communities, as witnessed in the lives of the earliest disciples. It is also used of spiritual blessings, which the gentiles are invited to share, as well as the corporate solidarity which we have with Christ and with one another through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. In the reflections which follow, however, communion particularly signifies the bonds that unite all eucharistic communities under their bishops, to form the one, holy Catholic Church. The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission considered communion the most appropriate way of expressing the mystery underlying the various New Testament images of the Church, and it is particularly suited to the People of God image: Koinonia [communion] is the term that most aptly expresses the mystery underlying the various New Testament images of the Church. When, for example, the Church is called the people of the new covenant or the bride of Christ, the context is primarily that of communion. 1 The object of this article is to argue that the episcopal magisterium exists to serve the welfare of that communion.
