  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • 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.

Tema do Mês Origens e história do Colégio Cardinalício A história dos cardeais começa por estar ligada ao clero de Roma e já vem de longe: o título de cardeal foi reconhecido pela primeira vez durante o pontificado de Silvestre I (314-335). Inicialmente o título de cardeal (do latim ‘cardo/cardinis’, que significa “eixo”) era atribuído genericamente a pessoas ao serviço de uma igreja ou diaconia, reservando-se mais tarde aos responsá- veis das igrejas titulares de Roma e das igrejas mais importantes da Itália e do mundo. Os cardeais nascem do grupo de 25 presbíteros das comuni- dades eclesiais primitivas (títulos) em Roma, nomeados pelo Papa Cleto (séc.

We should be proud that we were able to support our seminarians who are now priests. On that same Saturday, Reverend Jonathan Michael Demma celebrated his first mass at St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton’s Catholic Church. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend I did however attend Reverend Maurice Lawrence Moon’s first mass at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Lindsey, Texas on Sunday, May 20, 2018. I am happy to report that we had a strong showing of Knights with the District Master Pat Conway leading our honor guard. My prayer is that we are able to have all of our future seminarians go on to become priests. I would also like to congratulate SK George Webster with an Honorary 4th Degree Life Membership. He is the the Fort Worth Diocese Wheelchair Chairman and is very active with his council. On a second note I look forward to our Officer’s Installation in June and I am excited to take on my new role and responsibilities. God Bless, SK Adrian Romero, FN Captain’s Corner In my final Captain’s Corner I want to thank SK Alvin Melman for stepping up to fill the vacancy left in the Officers rotation by SK John Achtyl stepping up to fill the Comptroller vacancy created when SK David Siebold moved to San Antonio.

  • Anexo I Resumen De Abusos Sexuales En La Iglesia
    ANEXO I RESUMEN DE ABUSOS SEXUALES EN LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA I.- ANTECEDENTES Es público y notorio el hecho que los abusos sexuales en la Iglesia Católica no son un problema nuevo. Ya en el concilio de Elvira realizado el año 306, se establecieron normas para sancionar las agresiones sexuales de clérigos en contra de menores de edad. Luego, durante la edad media, dichas sanciones fueron endurecidas por abades, cardenales y pontífices que emprendieron intentos para reformar disciplinariamente la institución en base a la represión de la expresión genital del abuso. Por ejemplo, es el caso de Pedro Damian, inspirador de la reforma disciplinar llevada a cabo por el Papa Hidelbrando en el siglo XI. Mención especial merece lo propuesto por Inocencio III, quien en De Crimine Falsi establece que el clérigo pederasta sea reducido al estado laical y entregado a las autoridades civiles, pretensión que fue implementada por sus sucesores, siendo Pío V uno de los más entusiastas con sus documentos Horrendum Illud Scelus y Cum Primum. Sin embargo, mientras la Iglesia proponía que el clérigo reducido sea entregado a la justicia de cada país, nada se decía acerca de la colaboración de la misma con las autoridades estatales. Este terreno grisáceo fue zanjado en 1866 cuando Pío IX establece que los delitos ocurridos en un contexto sacramental, quedaban cubiertos por el sigilo que obliga a la confidencialidad de lo allí informado. De esta manera, si un sacerdote abusaba de un penitente, el castigo para el sacerdote que se autodenunciara, era la excomunión1. Así, la institución optó por cargar en la víctima el deber de denunciar y proveer los medios probatorios.
