OTHERS SECTIONS Were you surprised, shocked by the resignation of Benedict XVI? NEWS I was certainly surprised by the timing. I was aware that he was open to the possibility of retirement if he felt he Italian daily “La Stampa” launches live blog on wasn’t up to it. He had said as much in Seewald’s book. I was aware that he had visited the tomb of Celestine V, and papal conclave I think he left his pallium there. So all those were signs that resignation was a live option for him, but I certainly didn’t WORLD NEWS expect it at that time. Scotland's Cardinal O'Brien admits and asks forgiveness for sexual misconduct When he announced it what was your reaction? INQUIRIES AND INTERVIEWS Mixed feelings I think like everybody else. There’s no doubt about it, the whole business is tinged with sadness. I German bishops’ decision on morning-after pill is an example to be followed understand that he has done it for the good of the Church. In some ways it’s a courageous decision, and I think he would be delighted that he would be able to announce it with almost nobody realizing that it was about to come. It THE VATICAN was a genuine secret in the Vatican which is quite something. It does put a bit of question mark over the future, of Conclave: Cardinal electors send thank you telegram to Benedict XVI course, but the Eastern Catholic Patriarchs are appointed for life and some of them stand down, as did the Superior General of the Jesuits, so it will depend a lot on the personality and health of the next popes. DOCUMENTS Ratzinger’s life becomes a film Do you think he has changed the papacy by his decision? REVIEWS To some extent, yes! Some people in Australia have said to me that he was bringing the Church into the 21st century. Ratzinger, the professor-turned- Pope In the days when there was no intercontinental travel and no inter-continental media an incapacitated pope could limp along but the 24 hours news-cycle puts all these matters in a different perspective. And, of course, the Church is facing some very significant challenges and he might have felt that it needed a younger man to face up to these. How much do you think his decision to resign has been influenced by the Vatileaks scandal, the betrayal by the butler, and all the problems linked to governance that have arisen in these years? He said he has been grieved by those developments, but quite what impact they had on him in coming to this decision I really don’t know. Do you think the age factor will play a significant role in the conclave when it comes to choosing the next pope? Yes it’s always a significant factor. I think it’s unlikely that we will choose somebody who’s 77 or 78. I think it’s also unlikely that we will choose somebody who is too young, however you define that, because I think there’s virtue in the papacy changing every 10, 15 or 20 years. So you don’t anticipate a long papacy coming out of this conclave? Well they said that about Leo XIII and that papacy went on and on, so it’s foolish to anticipate anything. You have been through the conclave process in 2005 – the congregations of cardinals, the ‘murmurings’, the discussions about candidates, and you have a broad understanding of the Church, what qualities will you be looking for in a candidate to be the next pope? Let me start by telling you what I won’t be looking for. I won’t be looking for a candidate from a particular area. I think where the next pope comes from is quite secondary to his personal capacity to lead the Church. Some factors are rudimentary: a man of faith and prayer, a good track record, a man with languages. I don’t think we’re going to get a teacher of the caliber of Benedict or even of John Paul II. We might, but that would be a pleasant surprise. I think we need somebody who is a strategist, a decision-maker, a planner, somebody who has got strong pastoral capacities already demonstrated so that he can take a grip of the situation and take the Church forward. http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/inquiries-and-interviews/detail/articolo/conclave-22857/ 05/03/2013 Cardinal Pell hopes for a Pope who knows how to govern - Vatican Insider Page 2 of 2 I mean when you compare the irreligion and the demographic decline in Europe, the violence against Christians in the Middle East, the need to try to open-up China, the problems of theHOME (Roman) Curia are not in that league.

  • 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.

  • '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.

  • 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.

  • Child Sexual Abuse and the Case of Cardinal George Pell
    IJCJ&SD 9(4) 2020 ISSN 2202-8005 Reckoning with Denial and Complicity: Child Sexual Abuse and the Case of Cardinal George Pell Kate Gleeson1 Macquarie University, Australia Abstract This article is concerned with public responses to allegations of child sexual abuse by representatives of powerful state-like entities such as the Catholic Church. It focuses on the responses of hegemonic groups and individuals to the recent trials and acquittal of the most senior Catholic figure ever to face child sexual abuse charges, Australian Cardinal George Pell, and his sworn testimony denying knowledge of sex crimes committed by a priest he associated with in the past. The article examines organised political campaigns denying the possibility of child sexual abuse in relation to a more generalised cultural denial permeating society about the entrenched nature of child abuse. As a means for coming to terms with the denial of atrocities, this article invokes philosophical debates about responsibility for mass crimes in the context of war tribunals, such as those formulated by Simone de Beauvoir and Hannah Arendt.
