After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exer- cise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the barque of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on April 19, 2005, in such a way, that as from February 28, 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is. Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Pope Benedict XVI Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

(+ 74 s. příloha) Anotace Křesťanství se z Jeruzaléma šířilo několika směry. Jedno z jeho nejvlivnějších center vzniklo v Římě, jenž se stal také sídlem papežů a zůstal jím i po přesídlení císaře do tehdy řecké Konstantinopole. Kromě Říma, spjatého s apoštolem Petrem však existovaly i další velké křesťanské obce, založené ostatními apoštoly, ležící na východ od římské říše, které se stejně jako ta římská nazývaly církví. A tak i dnes kromě největší latinské (římské) církve existují desítky východních, právem se chlubících vlastní apoštolskou tradicí. V průběhu dějin došlo několikrát k narušení jejich komunikace s Římem, ale i mezi sebou navzájem. V dnešní době, kdy z různých důvodů dochází k velkým migračním vlnám, se některá církevní společenství, doposud považována striktně za východní, dostávají do diaspory s latinskou církví, čímž vzniká nejen velká pravděpodobnost růstu počtu smíšených intereklesiálních manželství, ale zároveň také zvýšené množství manželských kauz, které bude muset následně řešit církevní soud. Aby jeho rozhodnutí bylo spravedlivé, je potřebné znát jak historii těchto východních církví, mezi nimiž je i dvacet dva sjednocených s Římem (tedy východní katolické církve), tak i především jejich teologická specifika, spiritualitu a partikulární právo.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER POPE FRANCIS TO HIS HOLINESS POPE TAWADROS II, POPE OF ALEXANDRIA AND PATRIARCH OF THE SEE OF ST. MARK, HEAD OF THE COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH OF EGYPT Friday, 10 May 2013 Χριστός ανέστη Your Holiness, Dear Brothers in Christ, For me it is a great joy and a truly graced moment to be able to receive all of you here, at the tomb of Saint Peter, as we recall that historic meeting forty years ago between our predecessors, Pope Paul VI and the late Pope Shenouda III, in an embrace of peace and fraternity, after centuries in which there was a certain distance between us. So it is with deep affection that I welcome Your Holiness and the distinguished members of your delegation, and I thank you for your words. Through you, I extend my cordial greetings in the Lord to the bishops, the clergy, the monks and the whole Coptic Orthodox Church. Today’s visit strengthens the bonds of friendship and brotherhood that already exist between the See of Peter and the See of Mark, heir to an inestimable heritage of martyrs, theologians, holy monks and faithful disciples of Christ, who have borne witness to the Gospel from generation to generation, often in situations of great adversity. Forty years ago the Common Declaration of our predecessors represented a milestone on the ecumenical journey, and from it emerged a Commission for Theological Dialogue between our Churches, which has yielded good results and has prepared the ground for a broader dialogue between the Catholic Church and the entire family of Oriental Orthodox Churches, a dialogue that continues to bear fruit to this day.

  • Pope Francis
    Weekday Homilies of Pope Francis December 1 to 15, 2013 ….at the Chapel of Casa di Santa Martha at 7 a.m. Christmas is an encounter, not just a memory “Preparing for Christmas through prayer, charity and exhaltation”. With this hope, Pope Francis called on the faithful Monday, December 2, to open their hearts and allow themselves to encounter the Lord who renews all. In his homily, Pope Francis recalled that as “we proceed towards Christmas, we embark on a journey of faith and prayer in preparation for our encounter with the Lord, because, Christmas isn’t just a temporal celebration or the memory of a beautiful (event).” "Christmas is an encounter! It's a journey to encounter Him, to find Him through our hearts and our lives, to find the living God and to find Him through faith. It's not easy to live with faith. In today's Gospel, the Lord marvelled at the centurion. He marvelled at his faith. The centurion made a journey to meet the Lord, but he made it in faith. He not only encountered the Lord, but he came to know the joy of being encountered by him. And this is precisely the sort of encounter we desire, the encounter of faith. To encounter the Lord, but also to allow ourselves to be encountered by him. This is very important”. And to actually have an encounter with Jesus, one must pray more, increase charity and treat others with love and joy. “Christmas is something more, Christmas is an encounter with the Lord. And as we make our way towards Him, we must go with open heart and faith, even though this is not always easy.

    APRIL, 2018 EASTERN CHURCHES NEWS: EDITED BY FR. RON ROBERSON SEIA NEWSLETTER On the Eastern Churches and Ecumenism Number 271: April 30, 2018 Washington, DC The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate Considers Requests for Ukrainian Autocephaly PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE PETRO POROSHENKO ON TUESDAY, APRIL 17, ANNOUNCED THE START OF THE PROCEDURE FOR THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH. The relevant agreement was reached at 7-hour long negotiations between Poroshenko and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Synod members held during a presidential visit to Turkey, Poroshenko said at a meeting with heads of parliamentary factions on Tuesday. "Ukraine is as close as ever to the emergence of its own Unified Orthodox Church," the president said, adding that he cannot elaborate on all details of the agreements reached. A number of elements are needed for the process to see success, including, a corresponding appeal from UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which has already been signed to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in a rare united move of the two churches, according to Poroshenko. Poroshenko expressed hope that the new UOC would be created before the 1030th anniversary of baptism of the Kyiv Rus and called on Parliament to support the appeal to Constantinople. The president called the developments around a possible creation of a United Orthodox Church which would not be subordinate to Moscow a "historic event." The president ruled out the possibility of banning any other churches in Ukraine and noted that the state will remain separated from church. – Unian, April 17. TODAY, APRIL 19, UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS UPHELD THE PETITION OF PETRO POROSHENKO TO THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH ASKING HIM TO GRANT THE TOMOS OF AUTOCEPHALY TO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN UKRAINE.

Pope Francis has lamented the “painful news” coming from Egypt. He prayed for “all the victims and their families, the injured and all those who are suffering.” We do the same. Amidst the tragedy of violence and bloodshed in Egypt, our Conference has a special concern for the Christian community. Extremists have scapegoated Christians, blaming them for the current state of affairs, and viciously attacked Christian churches, institutions and communities, destroying property and terrorizing people. The destruction of Christian churches and the targeting of Christians are unacceptable. The Church in Egypt reports that the attacks are the work of extremists and that many of their Muslim neighbors have come to their defense. Patriarch Ibrahim Isaac Sidrak, Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria, commended “our honorable Muslim compatriots who have stood by our side, as far as they could, in defending our churches and our institutions.” We agree with the Administration’s call for “a peaceful, democratic and prosperous Egypt.” The responsibility for building such a future rests primarily with Egyptians, but the actions of the United States and the international community can help or hinder this task.

  • April 29-30 2015
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Bari April 29-30 2015 The complex and dramatic situation of Christians in the Middle East, too long forgotten by the western public opinion, challenges all Christian Churches to a renewed and urgent sense of responsibility. These are men, women, elderly and children most often relegated to the margins of society, forced to emigrate, to leave the country where they were born and where they would have all rights to continue living. They are minorities often unheard and discriminated against, subject to violence and concrete forms of persecution. Until 1948 Christians of different denominations accounted for 20% of the population of the Middle East: they are now just 6%, and this figure is expected to fall further. On several occasions Pope Francis has stated that the survival of the Christians of the East is not only a matter of religious freedom, it is to put at risk the very existence of a civilization and its values. For this the fate of Christians cannot be of concern to those believers alone, but we are all called into question, even non-believers, and we cannot close our eyes or turn our head the other way and not see what is happening not far from us. 3 Wednesday April 29th afternoon Opening Session The Joint Declaration of Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew of 4.00 p.m. November 2014 has a strong focus: the common concern for the Christians in the Middle East: What Future? situation in Iraq, Syria and throughout the Middle East.
