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.

It upheld a state law—reversing an appeals court ruling—that requires abortion providers to bury or cremate fetal remains. It also refused to take up a challenge to a block of the state law that would prevent women from obtaining abortions based on the gender, race or a potential diagnosis of Down syndrome of the fetus. “We’re pleased that they did rule in favor of one part of it— recognizing the dignity of the fetus and proper disposal is important part of the sacredness of life—and disappointed, of course, that [the court] is not dealing Glenn Tebbe with the question of abortion based on sex, race or disability,” said Glenn Tebbe, executive director of the Indiana Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of the At left, Jennifer Brandon poses in front of fog-enshrouded Chartres Cathedral state’s bishops. in France.

Instill Passion for Jesus in Families: Cardinal Filoni by Santosh Digal

Instill Passion for Jesus in Families: Cardinal Filoni By Santosh Digal Colombo: A top Vatican official has urged Catholic bishops of Asia to instill a passion for Jesus in Catholic families. “I encourage you to be close to the Asian Catholic families in order to accompany them in their mission as evangelizers, missionaries and teachers of faith,” Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, said in a message to the Asian bishops’ eleventh plenary assembly. The Vatican official urged the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) to empower families by creating appropriate faith programs that will take them to the fore-front of evangelization in the region. “Instill in them a passion for Jesus, a passion for His people and a passion for His mission,” said message that FABC president Cardinal Oswald Gracias read out on December 3, the penultimate day of plenary assembly that began on November 28. More than 140 bishops, FABC officials and funding partners addressed the theme, “The Asian Catholic Family: Domestic Church of the Poor on a Mission of Mercy.” The bishops met at Negombo, a coastal town near the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo. Cardinal Filoni says Catholic families in Asia are in a better position to shape a merciful Church in the region where widespread poverty provides the Church an occasion to give preferential option for the poor while proclaiming the gospel. “Surely, the Asian Catholic family has an advantage to evangelize people from the perspective of the poor and hence create an inculturated Asian Catholic community from the same context,” said the 70-year-old Italian cardinal.

Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church

FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils.

Death of Giuseppe Dalla Torre, Lieutenant General of Honour of the Order, Distinguished Jurist and Academic

Death of Giuseppe Dalla Torre, Lieutenant General of Honour of the Order, distinguished jurist and academic The funeral of the Lieutenant General of Honour was presided over by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of His Holiness Pope Francis. On December 3, 2020, Professor Count Giuseppe Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto, Lieutenant General of Honour and Knight of the Collar of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem died. A man of great intellectual, moral and spiritual stature, he was a Knight of the Order since 1991 and served in the various positions he held with dedication and generosity, first as a member of the Grand Magisterium and then as Lieutenant General (2011-2017). Not to be forgotten, he was Rector of LUMSA University (1991-2014) and President of the Vatican City State Court (1997-2019). The Pope, informed of the death of the “dear” professor, expressed his “spiritual closeness” to his wife Nicoletta and daughter Paola, recalling his qualities as a Christian and professional with “a grateful heart.” Holy See Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, added his personal condolences during the funeral presided over in the Vatican Basilica, at the altar of the Chair, in the presence of the Grand Master of the Order, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, the Lieutenant General, Professor Agostino Borromeo, and the Governor General, Ambassador Leonardo Visconti di Modrone. In his homily at the funeral, which was profoundly moving, Cardinal Pietro Parolin described his “friend Giuseppe” as a “good, humble and wise man” and a “true disciple of Jesus.” The Grand Master of the Order, Cardinal Filoni, has expressed the gratitude and closeness to his family in prayer and affection, inviting every Knight and Dame to raise prayers of suffrage for the repose of the soul of Professor Giuseppe Dalla Torre.

In the course of their private conversation, they addressed many of the issues of mutual concern to Anglicans and Roman Catholics. They affirmed the need to proclaim the Gospel message of salvation in Jesus Christ, both in a reasoned and convincing way in the contemporary context of profound cultural and social transformation, and in lives of holiness and transparency to God.
