  • LAUDATIO to His Eminence Cardinal ZENON GROCHOLEWSKI Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See, On
    LAUDATIO To his Eminence Cardinal ZENON GROCHOLEWSKI Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See, on the occasion of the Doctor Honoris Causa Award Ceremony the 5th of November 2010 www.uaic.ro Laudatio In honour of His Eminence Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See Eminenza Reverendissima, Your Eminence, Dear Rector Vasile Işan, Members of the commission, distinguished guests, dear students, Benedictus Deus in saecula Blessed be God forever! It is a privilege for me to read the laudatio for a great personality, a scholar of law, educational and religious sciences in today’s society, in this historic University and festive aula, which has witnessed so many important scientific, academic and honorary events. Alexandru Ioan Cuza University awards the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to His Eminence Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, Prefect of the prestigious Roman Congregation “Pro Educatione Catholica”. Born in Poland, a country that we consider our neighbour and friend, on 11 October 1939, in Brodki, a village belonging to the Archdiocese of Poznan, he comes from a family blessed with four children. His parents, Stanislau and Giuseppina Stavinska, deeply religious people, brought him up in the spirit of love for God and respect for people. He studied philosophy and theology at the Archdiocesan Seminary in Poznan and then he was ordained priest on 27 May 1963. He spent his first years as a priest at Christ the King Parish in Poznan. 1 Starting with 1966, during the communist-atheist dictatorship period, he had the privilege to study canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he took his bachelor’s degree in 1968 and his doctoral degree in 1972 with the highest honour, summa cum laude , receiving a gold medal in accordance with the academic traditions of that time.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See VISIT TO THE PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE FOR SACRED MUSIC ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Via di Torre Rossa, Rome Saturday, 13 October 2007 Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Professors and Students of the Pontifical Institute for Sacred Music, On the memorable day of 21 November 1985 my beloved Predecessor, Pope John Paul II, went to visit this "aedes Sancti Hieronymi de Urbe" where, since its foundation by Pope Pius XI in 1932, a privileged community of Benedictine monks has worked enthusiastically on the revision of the Vulgate Bible. It was then that the Pontifical Institute for Sacred Music moved here, complying with the Holy See's wishes, although it retained at its former headquarters in Palazzo dell'Apollinare, the Institute's historic Gregory XIII Hall, the Academic Hall or Aula Magna which still is, so to speak, the "sanctuary" where solemn academic events and concerts are held. The great organ which Madame Justine Ward gave Pius XI in 1932 has now been totally restored with the generous contribution of the Government of the "Generalitat de Catalunya". I am pleased to greet the Representatives of that Government who are present here. I have come with joy to the didactic centre of the Pontifical Institute for Sacred Music, which has been totally renovated. With my Visit I inaugurate and bless the impressive restoration work carried out in recent years at the initiative of the Holy See with the significant contribution of various benefactors, among whom stand out the "Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra", which has overseen the total restoration of the Library.

    N. 0008 Giovedì 05.01.2012 COMUNICATO SULLA NOTA DELLA CONGREGAZIONE PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE CON INDICAZIONI PASTORALI PER L’ANNO DELLA FEDE COMUNICATO SULLA NOTA DELLA CONGREGAZIONE PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE CON INDICAZIONI PASTORALI PER L’ANNO DELLA FEDE ● TESTO IN LINGUA ITALIANA ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA FRANCESE ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA INGLESE ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA TEDESCA ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA SPAGNOLA ● TESTO IN LINGUA ITALIANA Con la Lettera apostolica Porta fidei dell’11 ottobre 2011, Benedetto XVI ha indetto un Anno della fede. Esso avrà inizio l’11 ottobre 2012, 50° anniversario dell’apertura del Concilio Vaticano II, e terminerà il 24 novembre 2013, Solennità di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo Re dell’Universo. Con la promulgazione di tale Anno il Santo Padre intende mettere al centro dell’attenzione ecclesiale ciò che, fin dall’inizio del suo Pontificato, gli sta più a cuore: l’incontro con Gesù Cristo e la bellezza della fede in Lui. D’altra parte, la Chiesa è ben consapevole dei problemi che oggi la fede deve affrontare e sente quanto mai attuale la domanda che Gesù stesso ha posto: «Il Figlio dell’uomo, quando tornerà, troverà ancora la fede sulla terra?» (Lc 18, 8). Per questo, «se la fede non riprende vitalità, diventando una profonda convinzione ed una forza reale grazie all’incontro con Gesù Cristo, tutte le altre riforme rimarranno inefficaci» (Discorso per la presentazione degli auguri natalizi alla Curia romana, 22 dicembre 2011). Per incarico di Benedetto XVI, la Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede ha redatto una Nota con indicazioni pastorali per l’Anno della fede.

  • 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. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.
