  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Love is like wine. Just as wine needs time to mature, so too love needs time to grow. In his post- synodal apostolic exhortation The Joy of Love, Pope Francis voices the belief that we can only grow in love during the different stages of our lives when we learn to use the words “Please?”, “Thank you” and “Sorry” generously and often. This is why he offers these three words as keys to living together in community, in the full knowledge that every loving relationship has both light and dark sides. It is true that the pope brings this up as part of his discourse on marital love. It is not difficult to see, however, that these words have an equally major impact on the success of other kinds of love that are lasting and comprehensive. The love in families between parents and children, be- tween brothers and sisters, between grandparents and grandchildren; the love practiced in religious communities and lay fraternities, in the Church and among the faithful; but also the love between unmarried cohabitants, between young (and not so young) lovers, between gay and lesbian partners. Further, Pope Francis repeats these words when he talks about the education and moral formation of children: “A person may be sociable and open to others, but if over a long period of time he has not been trained by his elders to say ‘Please?’, ‘Thank you’, and ‘Sorry’, his good interior disposition will not easily come to the fore” (AL 266). WONDERFULLY COMPLICATED A new wind is blowing through the Church.

  • International Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches
    INTERNATIONAL JOINT COMMISSION FOR THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES REPORT Third Meeting Etchmiadzin, Armenia, 27 – 30 January 2006 Catholic and Oriental Orthodox representatives, delegated by their churches, met 27-30 January 2006, as members of the International Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches, under the co-chairmanship of His Eminence Cardinal Walter Kasper, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and His Eminence Metropolitan Bishoy of Damiette, General Secretary of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The meeting was held in Holy Etchmiadzin, Armenia, at the Catholicosate of All Armenians, hosted by H.H. Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians. Delegates were present from the Catholic Church and from the following Oriental Orthodox Churches: the Coptic Orthodox Church, Syrian Orthodox Church, Armenian Apostolic Church (Catholicosate of All Armenians), Armenian Apostolic Church (Holy See of Cilicia), and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Delegates from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Church were unable to attend. The meeting was originally scheduled to begin on January 26, but was delayed one day because of severe winter weather. Each working day began with morning prayers, and the sessions took place in a cordial atmosphere. The Catholic and Oriental Orthodox members held separate meetings at various times during the dialogue. The members of the international commission were received by H.H. Catholicos Karekin II on January 27. He expressed his pleasure at being able to host this session of the dialogue, and encouraged its work.

  • Living Together with Refugees and Migrants, Our Brothers and Sisters Declaration of the Bishops of Belgium
    Living together with refugees and migrants, our brothers and sisters Declaration of the bishops of Belgium “Migrants present a particular challenge for me, since I am the pastor of a Church without frontiers, a Church which considers herself mother to all. For this reason, I exhort all countries to a generous openness which, rather than fearing the loss of local identity, will prove capable of creating new forms of cultural synthesis.” (Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium, n°210). Thousands of refugees are at our gates today. They are fleeing war, violence, dangers and hopeless situations in massive number. They come here, in Europe and in Belgium, for protection, asylum and a better life. Because here, there is peace and well-being, even though it is not a paradise. Today, these hundreds of thousands of refugees are added to other migrants who are apparently leaving their countries for other reasons: famine, lack of economic development and decent life. We see all that every day in the media. We are witness to these situations as they unfold and cannot close our eyes. We see people flock through the Mediterranean to Italy, Malta, Spain, Greece, the Balkans, en route for the North. We see columns of people on foot on the roads, in crowded trains, motor coaches and cars. We often see very clearly the causes of these tragedies, like the zones of conflict in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea, the fanatical persecutions in Africa, the Near and Middle East and Eastern Europe. Elsewhere in the world, people are fleeing from floods, droughts, ethnic cleansing, and dislocated political powers.
