  • Vatican Abuse Summit Followup Decides to Hold More Followups
    Vatican abuse summit followup decides to hold more followups On Monday, in the Vatican’s first follow-up to last week’s child abuse summit, officials emphasized “encounter” and the need for concrete responses as called for by Catholics. The focus of the four-hour meeting Feb. 25 was “first and unanimously” on Pope Francis’ desire for encounter, according to a statement by papal spokesman Alessandro Gisotti. In attendance were some senior officials of the Secretariat of State, the heads of several Vatican dicasteries, and abuse summit organizers Fr. Federico Lombardi, Fr. Hans Zollner, Archbishop Charles Scicluna, Cardinal Oswald Gracias, and Cardinal Blase Cupich. The group agreed to continue to hold similar interdicasterial meetings “in the name of synodality and synergy” to monitor progress on commitments made at the summit. Gisotti said that dicastery heads, speaking openly, affirmed their commitment to following “the example of Pope Francis in the fight against abuses,” with an emphasis on encounter and on listening to victims. Other discussion topics during the meeting were the need for better child protection training and greater involvement from laity, Gisotti said. Organizers outlined for officials the principles behind the forthcoming documents and task forces – the promised outcomes of the abuse summit which were announced Sunday. The concrete commitments made at the end of the Vatican’s sex abuse summit Sunday included the publication of a motu proprio from Pope Francis “on the protection of minors and vulnerable persons,” Lombardi announced Feb. 24. Vatican City State is supposed also to receive in the coming weeks its own new child protection law, and the Vicariate of Vatican City new child protection guidelines.

  • 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.

  • The Ethical Dimension of Politics
    […] The eleventh Krakow conference, held in September 2011 The Ethical Dimension of Politics in Tomaszowice, near Krakow, concerned a topic that is difficult and has been annually postponed – that of the ethical dimension of politics. Its aim was to draw a conclusion based on thoughts from the previous conference, during which the contribution The Role of the Catholic Church of Christians in the process of European integration was discussed. This time it was a matter of defining what role Christian politicians in the European Integration Process have to fulfil in this process, especially those who as part of its structure and decision-making bodies bear responsibility for its shape, which includes its ethical shape.

  • Memorandum Submitted by Catholic Women to Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, President of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India & Advisor to Pope Francis
    Memorandum Submitted by Catholic Women to Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, President of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India & Advisor to Pope Francis. Dated 8th March 2020. Dear Cardinal Oswald, Warm Greetings from the Catholic Women/Men in India. As we join hands with women around the globe to celebrate another International Women’s Day and take stock of women’s place in the world today, we thought it opportune to also examine the status of women in the Catholic Church, particularly in India. Over the years the Catholic bishops of India have supported the empowerment of women in many ways, through education, including theological training, healthcare, promoting participation in self-governance, legal aid, income generation schemes, and other sustainable development programmes. These initiatives have had a tremendous impact on the women of India, particularly in rural areas. Looking within Within the church however, not much has changed. Every year we celebrate International Women’s Day with the full support of the bishops and clergy, but the concerns and frustrations of women within the church remain the same. We have leadership training for women but there are no spaces for women to exercise this leadership. Doors have been opened for women to contribute their services in pastoral work, as community leaders in SCCs, as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Cantors, Ushers, and leaders in outreach activities in the parish, yet their ministries are not valued as much as, or given as much recognition as the ministry of ordained deacons, from which women, including women religious, are banned. That women persist in their ministries and continue to fill the pews despite this very visible discrimination, is a sign both of their love for the Church, and their internalisation of their second class status in the Church.

  • 'We Dare Not Fail'
    It’s All Good Son’s actions help mom realize what’s important in life, writes columnist Patti Lamb, page 12. Serving the Church in Central and Southern Indiana Since 1960 CriterionOnline.com March 1, 2019 Vol. LIX, No. 20 75¢ This year’s Lent could be just what struggling ‘We dare not fail’ Church needs WASHINGTON (CNS)—When Lent begins on March 6, Catholics in the United States will likely be more than ready for it. This set-aside time for prayer and reflection—after all the Church has been through in recent months—could provide both a healing balm and a needed boost forward, some say. Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, is typically a big Catholic draw, filling churches with nearly Easter- or Christmas-size Mass crowds even though it is not a holy day of obligation. Conventual Franciscan Father Jude DeAngelo, director of campus ministry at The Catholic University of America in Washington, hopes this year is no exception. “We in the American Catholic Church have been through a year of tremendous suffering and tremendous upheaval and frustration,” he told Catholic News Service (CNS), referring to the past months of allegations of sexual misconduct and cover-up by Church leaders.

  • Pope Condemns 'Blind Violence,' Offers Prayers After Brussels Attacks
    Pope condemns ‘blind violence,’ offers prayers after Brussels attacks By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY – Assuring his prayers for the victims and families of the terrorist attack in Brussels, Pope Francis condemned the “cruel abominations” and prayed for the conversion of those who adhere to violent fundamentalism. “To all, I ask that you persevere in prayer and in asking the Lord in this Holy Week to comfort the hearts of the afflicted and to convert the hearts of those people taken in by cruel fundamentalism,” the pope said at the end of his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square March 23. “To all, I ask that you persevere in prayer and in asking the Lord in this Holy Week to comfort the hearts of the afflicted and to convert the hearts of those people taken in by cruel fundamentalism,” the pope said at the end of his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square March 23. Saying he followed the tragic news of the bombings with a “sorrowful heart,” the pope expressed his closeness to “the dear people of Belgium, to all the families of the victims and to all the wounded.” “I renew an appeal to all people of good will to unite in the unanimous condemnation of these cruel abominations that have caused only death, terror and horror,” he said. After his appeal, the pope led the people in the square in praying a “Hail Mary” for those affected by the terrorism, followed by a moment of silence for “the dead, the wounded, the families and for all the Belgian people.” Three nearly simultaneous attacks – two at the Brussels airport and one on the Brussels area of Maalbeek, near where much of the European Union is based – left at least 34 dead and more than 200 people injured.
