  • 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.

  • In Opening Arguments, Cardinal Pell's Lawyers Make His Case for Appeal
    In opening arguments, Cardinal Pell’s lawyers make his case for appeal The legal team for Australian Cardinal George Pell set out its case for appeal at the Supreme Court of Victoria Wednesday morning. Judges heard the opening arguments for the defence as they sought leave to appeal. Bret Walker, arguing on June 4, told the three-judge Court of Appeal, led by Chief Justice Anne Feguson, that Pell was seeking leave to appeal on the grounds that his conviction by a jury was “unsafe.” In a controversial verdict, the cardinal was convicted on Dec. 11 of five counts of sexual abuse of minors. Pell’s legal team is seeking appeal on three separate grounds, the first of which is that a guilty verdict was returned despite the lack of proof beyond reasonable doubt. If successful, an appeal on that ground would see Pell’s conviction overturned and the cardinal set free. In March, Pell was sentenced to six years in prison. The secondary appeals, made on more procedural grounds, could lead to a retrial if successful. At the opening of the two-day hearing, Justice Ferguson noted that the judges had reviewed the evidence from the trial, visited Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and inspected the vestments Pell is alleged to have been wearing at the time of the supposed abuse. Ferguson explained that the purpose of the hearing was not to re-litigate the trial, or for the defence or prosecution to present the whole of its argument, which had been submitted in writing. Walker argued that the evidence used to convict Pell was clearly insufficient to allow the jury to reach a unanimous finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

  • 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. See list of penance services, page 10, The priest said pope’s Lenten some Catholics message, page 16. stopped going to Church, “scandalized by the actions of a few,” but that he hopes and prays they come Pope Francis and Church leaders from around the world attend a penitential liturgy during a meeting on the protection of minors in the Church at the Vatican on Feb.

  • How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law
    CARDINAL SINS: HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS CHANGED PRIVATE LAW MAYO MORAN* ABSTRACT For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars, and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way, it has also helped to transform the all- important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few survivors who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities also helped to shield the Church. Private law itself was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change within private law, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself. Yet the Church had traditionally bene®ted from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary, self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach to covering up abuse began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act.

  • Judge Sentences Cardinal Pell to Six Years in Prison on Abuse Charges
    Judge sentences Cardinal Pell to six years in prison on abuse charges MELBOURNE, Australia — Cardinal George Pell, 77, was sentenced to six years in prison March 13, just over two weeks after a Melbourne court allowed the publication of news that he had been found guilty of sexually abusing two boys. Cardinal Pell, who continues to maintain his innocence, will try to appeal the verdict. The court has set June 5-6 as the dates to consider the basis for the appeal. In December, a jury had found him guilty on five charges, each of which carried a maximum jail term of 10 years. The jury unanimously found that Cardinal Pell, shortly after being named archbishop of Melbourne in 1996, sexually assaulted two choirboys in the sacristy of Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The guilty verdict regarded one count of “sexual penetration,” in this case oral sex, and four counts of indecent acts with or in the presence of a minor under 16 years of age. Judge Peter Kidd spent more than one hour explaining the reasoning behind his sentencing and the factors he considered. He repeatedly referred to the cardinal’s position of authority over the choirboys and the breach of trust his actions caused. “You were a pillar of St. Patrick’s Cathedral by virtue of your position,” Kidd told the cardinal. “The brazenness of your conduct is indicative of your power over the victims,” he said. The judge also said he had to consider the cardinal’s age and health problems, including noting that the stress of imprisonment would exacerbate his hypertension and heart condition.

    N. 180912e Wednesday 12.09.2018 Briefing of the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis At 13.00 today, the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, gave a briefing on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis. The Council of Cardinals met, as scheduled, for three days: Monday 10, Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 September. All members were present, apart from His Eminence Cardinal George Pell, His Eminence Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz, and His Eminence Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya. The Holy Father, as usual, participated in the work of the Council, although he was absent on three occasions: late Monday morning, for the audience with His Eminence Cardinal Beniamino Stella; on Tuesday morning, due to the ad Limina Apostolorum visit of the Episcopal Conference of Venezuela; and this morning, for the General Audience. The meetings on Monday and Tuesday took place in the morning from 9.00 to 12.00, and in the afternoon from 16.30 to 19.00. The session concluded this morning at 10.30. The majority of the Council’s work was dedicated to the final adjustments to the draft of the new Apostolic Constitution of the Roman Curia, provisionally entitled Praedicate evangelium. The Council of Cardinals has already submitted to the Holy Father the provisional text which will however undergo stylistic revision and a canonistic review. As already communicated on Monday, during the first session of this 26th meeting, the Council of Cardinals asked the Pope to reflect on the work, structure and composition of the Council itself, also taking into consideration the advanced age of some members.

  • Oath Swearing Allegiance to the Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy)
    (2/13/17) BLOG POST: Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled…? Oath Swearing Allegiance To The Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy) http://maryrefugeofholylove.com ARTICLE: “BREAKING: Council of Cardinals pledges allegiance to Pope Francis” Monday, February 13, 2017 – 10:17 am EST News: LifeSiteNews Author: John-Henry Westen Source: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-council-of-cardinals-pledge- allegiance-to-pope-francis ROME, February 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – In an odd note without explanation placed on the Vatican’s daily press briefing today, the Council of Cardinals, a group of 10 Cardinals which Pope Francis has delegated to work with him on reform, has pledged allegiance to the Pope. “In relation to recent events, the Council of Cardinals pledges its full support for the Pope’s work, assuring him at the same time of its adhesion and loyalty to the figure of the Pope and to his Magisterium,” said the note. The statement comes in the wake of two public expressions of dissatisfaction or concern with Pope Francis that hit the streets of Rome in the last week. The first was a poster campaign which saw dozens of large posters plastered around the city. They noted Francis’ dismantling congregations, removing priests and more, and asked in conclusion, “Where is your mercy?” The second was a satirical version of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano painting the Pope as answering the dubia with ‘yes and no’ to each question. Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, last week criticized the poster campaign as a “work of the devil.” However, the Cardinal was criticized for his condemnation of the public expression of the faithful given that he has direct access to the Pope, whereas the laity do not.
