  • Archbishop Rowan Williams Address to the Synod of Bishops
    Archbishop Rowan Williams Address to the Synod of Bishops "To be Fully Human is to be Recreated in the Image of Christ's Humanity" VATICAN CITY, OCT. 11, 2012 (Zenit.org).- Here is the text of His Grace Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England and the Anglican Communion, during his address to the Synod of Bishops. * * * Your Holiness, Reverend Fathers, brothers and sisters in Christ - dear Friends 1. I am deeply honored by the Holy Father's invitation to speak in this gathering: as the Psalmist says, “Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum habitare fratres in unum”. The gathering of bishops in Synod for the good of all Christ's people is one of those disciplines that sustain the health of Christ's Church. And today especially we cannot forget that great gathering of “fratres in unum” that was the Second Vatican Council, which did so much for the health of the Church and helped the Church to recover so much of the energy needed to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ effectively in our age. For so many of my own generation, even beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic Church, that Council was a sign of great promise, a sign that the Church was strong enough to ask itself some demanding questions about whether its culture and structures were adequate to the task of sharing the Gospel with the complex, often rebellious, always restless mind of the modern world. 2. The Council was, in so many ways, a rediscovery of evangelistic concern and passion, focused not only on the renewal of the Church's own life but on its credibility in the world.

  • A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy
    A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy The lengthy letter that follows was written by His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Piraeus, Seraphim, and His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Dryinoupolis, Andrew, both of the Church of Greece. It was sent to Pope Francis on April 10, 2014. The Orthodox Christian Information Center (OrthodoxInfo.com) assisted in editing the English translation. It was posted on OrthodoxInfo.com on Great and Holy Monday, April 14, 2014. The above title was added for the English version and did not appear in the Greek text. Metropolitan Seraphim is well known and loved in Greece for his defense of Orthodoxy, his strong stance against ecumenism, and for the philanthropic work carried out in his Metropolis (http://www.imp.gr/). His Metropolis is also well known for Greece’s first and best ecclesiastical radio station: http://www.pe912fm.com/. This radio station is one of the most important tools for Orthodox outreach in Greece. Metropolitan Seraphim was born in 1956 in Athens. He studied law and theology, receiving his master’s degree and his license to practice law. In 1980 he was tonsured a monk and ordained to the holy diaconate and the priesthood by His Beatitude Seraphim of blessed memory, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. He served as the rector of various churches and as the head ecclesiastical judge for the Archdiocese of Athens (1983) and as the Secretary of the Synodal Court of the Church of Greece (1985-2000). In December of 2000 the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarch elected him as an auxiliary bishop of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in which he served until 2002.

  • La Santa Sede
    La Santa Sede DISCURSO DEL SANTO PADRE BENEDICTO XVI A LOS ARZOBISPOS METROPOLITANOS Sala Pablo VI Sábado 30 de junio de 2007 Queridos hermanos y hermanas: Me alegra acogeros a todos vosotros, familiares y amigos de los arzobispos metropolitanos a los que tuve la alegría de imponer el palio ayer en la basílica vaticana, durante una solemne celebración en la que recordamos a los apóstoles san Pedro y san Pablo. Nuestro encuentro quiere ser, en cierto modo, la prolongación del intenso clima de comunión eclesial que vivimos ayer. En efecto, la diversa procedencia de los arzobispos metropolitanos expresa bien la universalidad de la Iglesia, cuyos miembros, en todas las partes de la tierra, anuncian el Evangelio en distintas lenguas y profesan la única fe de los Apóstoles, que nunca ha cambiado. Os saludo cordialmente a cada uno de vosotros, venerados y estimados hermanos metropolitanos, y juntamente con vosotros saludo a los fieles que os han acompañado en vuestra peregrinación a la tumba de los Apóstoles. Envío, además, un saludo afectuoso también a vuestras comunidades diocesanas de procedencia. Dirijo mi saludo, en primer lugar, a vosotros, queridos pastores de la Iglesia que está en Italia. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Angelo Bagnasco, al que he llamado a suceder al cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, mi secretario de Estado, como arzobispo de Génova, y a presidir la Conferencia episcopal italiana. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Calogero La Piana, arzobispo de Mesina-Lípari- Santa Lucía del Mela; y a usted, monseñor Paolo Romeo, arzobispo de Palermo. Jesús, el buen Pastor, os ayude, en vuestro ministerio episcopal, a edificar en la caridad las comunidades diocesanas encomendadas a vuestra solicitud pastoral, ayudándolas a ser siempre Iglesias vivas, llenas del dinamismo de la fe y de espíritu misionero.

  • Hoffmann Among the Highlights of 2009
    Hoffmann among the highlights of 2009 By Jim Bastian, Journal Sports Writer POSTED: January 3, 2010 NEW ULM - The Year In Sports 2009, in New Ulm is led by Jamie Hoffmann's roller coaster ride in professional base- ball beginning with the Los Angeles Dodgers and ending with the Word Champion New York Yankees. It was a year for Hoffmann that began in AA before being promoted to AAA Albuquerque. An injury saw Hoffmann promoted to the Dodgers and on May 24, Hoffmann got his first major league hit. Facing the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitcher Matt Palmer, Hoffmann hit a fastball over the fence in left field for three-run home run. What made it more special is that it was done in front of members of his family who were in at- tendance at the game. Hoffmann remained with the Dodgers until he was sent back down to AAA. Later, he was put on waivers by the Dodgers who removed him from their 40-man major league roster in what the Dodgers described as a "business de- cision." He later re-signed with the Dodgers. But like a curveball things changed for Hoffmann again. He was taken in the Rule 5 draft by the New York Yankees (who traded pitcher Brian Bruney to the Washington Nationals for the rights) and taken with the first overall pick in the draft. Hoffmann must remain on the Yankees 25-man major league roster for one year. In another highlight, Hoffmann started in right field for the Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs in a game on ESPN and made a diving catch before throwing out a runner at home.

    13 june, 2017 Ângelo Bagnasco says that is “time of the awakening” and challenges Christians to fight for the coming back of the Western humanity Ângelo Bagnasco says that is “time of the awakening” and challenges Christians to fight for the coming back of the Western humanity The Archbishop of Genoa presided over the second International Anniversary Pilgrimage of the Centennial year of the Apparitions with the theme “Glory to you, Queen of Peace” The Archbishop of Genoa and president of the Council of the Bishop’s Conferences of Europe (CCEE) said that it’s time for the Christians to wake up and proclaim their faith. “Dear friends, the history we live in has many clouds but it’s time of the awakening. The western civilization seems to be losing its own humanity, searching for illusions, which make many promises but turn to deteriorate. The world proclaims life but sows the seed of death. It announces solidarity but closes itself, preaches love but it is selfish” stated Ângelo Bagnasco during the homily of the International Mass of the Anniversary Pilgrimage of June, in the Shrine of Fatima. To the Genoese Cardinal, the world lives 1 / 3 today a similar situation it lived one hundred years ago and people “start to question themselves about the future of the world, about life’s fate”. “Like on that 13th of October, 1917, flashes of light started to be seen, questions of great importance start to arise in the hearts of mankind, the need for the truth, the desire of love and goodness. This is the awakening that already started and is not going to stop” pointed out the President of CCEE.

Precisely because it has become an increasingly politicized topic, only through communication one can understand today the reasons for this global human movement, and the presence of migrants and their integration into European societies. So, firstly, how can we communicate, inform people, and train the Catholic faithful to a correct perception of the migration issue? What tools to use? How can we witness to how much good is being done in Europe also through the Catholic Church? How to fight the numerous "fake news" that populate the virtual squares and distort reality? These are the questions faced by those in charge of the pastoral care of migrants of the Catholic Bishops’ Conferences in Europe, who met in Stockholm (Sweden) from 13 to 15 July. Migration within the European continent has been and still is healthy for the faith, because many Christians who came from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or Africa have maintained and live their faith in the host countries, often marked by a strong process of secularization.

    1. A short presentation of this Reflection Day (what is it about, why the theme, why it is so important for the Church, what are the implication) COMECE, CCEE, Justice and Peace Europe and Global Catholic Climate Movement organised the First European Laudato Si’ Reflection Day on the theme of “Sustainable finance in Europe and the Church”. The meeting has been held on 6 June 2018 from 10:30 to 16:30 at the COMECE Secretariat in Brussels. As a response to the call for action of Pope Francis in Laudato Si’, representatives of the European Bishops’ Conferences and Catholic institutions (dioceses, religious orders, banks, universities and civil society organizations) are invited to reflect and discuss on the role of the Catholic Church in promoting sustainable finance. Why the theme? On 31 January 2018, a High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (HLEG) has set out strategic recommendations for a financial system that supports sustainable investments. The recommendations of the High-Level Expert from the basis of the action plan on sustainable finance, adopted by the Commission in March 2018, that will be detailed in the occasion of the meeting. Catholic institutions are leading the fossil fuels divestment movement worldwide (Catholic Divest Invest Hub). High level catholic institutions joined past divestment announcements; among them €7.5 billion Catholic banks and Caritas Internationalis on April 22, 2018 (Card.Tagle, President of Caritas Internationalis: “The poor are suffering greatly from the climate crisis and fossil fuels are among the main drivers of this injustice.
