  • Czy Nuncjusz I Delegat Apostolski Muszą Być Biskupami? Próba Odpowiedzi Na Pytanie

Próba odpowiedzi na pytanie Na początku maju bieżącego roku, podczas prezentacji nowego dodatku do watykańskiego dziennika L’Osservatore Romano zatytu- łowanego Donne Chiesa Mondo, Sekretarz Stanu Stolicy Apostolskiej Kardynał Pietro Parolin przyznał, że – przynajmniej teoretycznie – spra- wowany przez niego urząd mógłby być powierzony również kobiecie. Debata na temat roli osób świeckich w papieskiej dyplomacji nie jest jednak nowa. Szeroka dyskusja na ten temat pojawiła się już podczas obrad Soboru Watykańskiego II. Mimo wszystko do dziś Nuncjusze i Delegaci Apostolscy, nie wspominając już o Legatach a latere, są oso- bami duchownymi, i to w dodatku biskupami. W tym kontekście pojawia się zatem pytanie, czy z prawnego punktu widzenia funkcję tę mógłby sprawować również ktoś pozbawiony sakry biskupiej. Jeśli tak, to być może podstawą obecnej praktyki Stolicy Apostolskiej są inne czynniki. Niniejszy artykuł stara się w sposób syntetyczny nakreślić wspomniane zagadnienie, podjąć się jego analizy – zwłaszcza z prawnego punktu widzenia – i odpowiedzieć na pytanie postawione w tytule1. 1.

  • 27 of October 2020
    II ed. 7th of September - 27th of October 2020 Cinema teatro Garden Guardiagrele Initiative carried out within the National Cinema Plan for the School promoted by Organized by In partnership with Balkan Cinema Express is an initiative created as part of the Cinema National Plan for Schools, sponsored by MiBAC and MIUR within the context of Artinvita - International Festival of the Abruzzi and organised in collaboration with the Théâtre de Léthé à Paris - Collectif 2 Plus, Balkan Film Food Festival, the network of movie theatres Ciackcity Cinema and the Biennale MArteLive. Balkan Cinema Express is a festival of Balkan short films bringing young students close to cinema, allowing them not only to engage with the selected works, but with Balkan culture at large - so closely linked with our contemporary history and yet widely unexplored and not nearly known enough in both the artistic and socio/cultural fields. The competing short films will be screened for 200 young students. Then the students will be prepared to become part of the jury, alongside the jury of experts, through a detailed workshop led by competent professionals. Project overview Project The project is made up of five main events and activities: a workshop, the creation of an audio-visual project, the screening of the selected shorts, the award ceremony and Balkan Cinema Express A/R. The project was conceived within a reflection on the historical and social context of the region of Abruzzo - a reflection that cannot but embrace most of the Italian territory. In the nineties a great number of Balkan immigrants fled their countries (Albania, Croatia, Romania, Slovenia…), crossed the Adriatic and headed for the Italian regions along the coasts, such as Abruzzo, where the number of Balkan nationals is particularly high to this day.

    The Role of the Priests In the Kingdom of the Divine Will From the Writings of the little daughter of the Divine Will Luisa Piccarreta “I AM Preparing For you an Era of Love - THE ERA OF MY THIRD FIAT.” Jesus to Luisa – Feb. 8. 1921 Holy Orders Others are called to share specially in Christ’s Priesthood. In the Old Covenant, even though Israel was a kingdom of Priests (Ex. 19:6), the Lord Called certain men to a special Priestly ministry (Ex.19:22). In the New Covenant, even though Christians are a kingdom of Priests (1 Pet. 2:9), Jesus Calls certain men to a Special Priestly Ministry (Rom. 15:15-16). This Sacrament is called Holy Orders. Through it, Priests are Ordained and Empowered to serve the Church (2 Tim. 1:6-7) as Pastors, teachers, and Spiritual Fathers who heal, feed, and strengthen God’s people – especially through preaching and the administration of the Sacraments. “Priests, your works are to be according to the Will of Christ. You have to completely dedicate yourself to the Altar and to guide souls for the Glory of the Father with the Effective Help of the Holy Spirit.” – Our Lady of Revelation Feb. 21, 1948 TABLE OF CONTENTS: PART I – WHO IS LUISA...................................................................3 1.
