Áras an Uachtaráin ÁRAS AN UACHTARÁIN On Saturday 25 August 2018, President and Sabina Higgins will welcome His Holiness Pope Francis to Áras an Uachtaráin. The welcoming ceremony will include a guard of honour and the playing of national anthems. His Holiness will sign the Visitors’ Book in the State Reception Room, after which the two Heads of State will have a bilateral meeting. Following the meeting President and Sabina Higgins will accompany His Holiness to the gardens, where he will plant an Irish Oak tree. Guard of Honour The Guard of Honour will be made up of members of the Irish Naval Service. Vessels from the Irish Naval Service have been taking part in Operation Sophia in the Mediterranean Sea. That operation is aimed at disrupting the activities of people smugglers and assisting migrants to prevent loss of life at sea. On St. Patrick’s Day 2016, President Higgins hosted a reception to honour the Irish Naval Service for their lifesaving work in the Mediterranean. Officer in charge of the Guard of Honour: Lieutenant Aonghus Ó Neachtain. The Military Band performing at the ceremonies is the Army Number 1 Band from Cathal Brugha Barracks, conducted by Captain Fergal Carroll. The Colour Party is made up of staff from the 27th Infantry Battalion, Aiken Barracks, Dundalk. The Fanfare party is made up from staff of the 1 Brigade at Collins Barrack, Cork, and conducted by Captain Brian Prendergast. The trumpeters are Sgt Roy Kelleher, Bandsman Emmet Donlan and Bandsman Patrick O’Carroll. Tree Planting The tradition of planting ceremonial tree in the grounds of Áras an Uachtaráin began in September 1853, when Queen Victoria planted the first of three trees. The tradition was continued after Ireland's independence, and the first tree planted by a President of Ireland was planted in 1939 by President Douglas Hyde. Since then all Presidents of Ireland have planted ceremonial trees and visiting Heads of State have also been asked to plant trees. Pope Francis’ tree will be planted in the same vicinity as the oak tree planted by Pope John Paul II on this occasion of his Papal visit in 1979.

    In the Name of God, the Compassionate , the Merciful, And may Peace and Blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad OPEN LETTER TO HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI In the Name of God, the Compassionate , the Merciful, Do not contend with people of the Book except in the fairest way …. (The Holy Qur’an, al-Ankabut , : ). Your Holiness, September th , we thought it appropriate, in the spirit of open exchange, to address your use of a debate between the Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and a “learned Persian” as the starting point for a discourse on the relationship between reason and faith. While we applaud your efforts to oppose the dominance of positivism and materialism in human life, we must point out some errors in the way you mentioned Islam as a counterpoint to the proper use of reason, as well as some mistakes in the assertions you put forward in support of your argument. There is no Compulsion in Religion You mention that “according to the experts ” the verse which begins, There is no compulsion in religion (al-Baqarah : ) is from the early period when the Prophet “was still powerless and under threat,” but this is incorrect. In fact this verse is acknowledged to belong to the period of Quranic revelation corresponding to the political and military ascendance of the young Muslim community. There is no compulsion in religion was not a command to Muslims to remain steadfast in the face of the desire of their oppressors to force them to renounce their faith, but was a reminder to Muslims themselves, once they had attained power, that they could not force another’s heart to believe.

  • On His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI Communiqué of the General House of the Priestly Fraternity of St
    On His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI Communiqué of the General House of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter On Ash Wednesday, February 13, 2013, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter had the opportunity to personally express its profound gratitude, and to assure the Sovereign Pontiff of its prayers, through one of its priests. Fr. Martin Ramm, FSSP, was able to greet the Pope on behalf of all of his community. Our conferee, who was received in general audience by His Holiness, presented him with an edition of the traditional Roman Missal recently published by the Fraternity of St. Peter as a gesture of filial devotion and of great gratitude for the promulgation of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. For nearly eight years, Benedict XVI has, with great humility and courage, guided the Bark of Peter - facing great storms – with the greatest concern to always lead souls to safe port. Giving an example of a profound interior life, he refocused the attention of the Catholic faithful upon the fundamentals of the Faith, putting them on guard against every form of relativism; and explaining the more recent Magisterium in the light of Tradition. Ever mindful of the restoration of the sacred, he reconciled the Roman Church with its two- thousand year liturgical patrimony. As a tireless apostle of Church unity, he was particularly engaged in dialogue with the Society of Pius X, in order to achieve the full reconciliation of the latter. The care given to this, on the part of the Holy Father, is particularly dear to us; and reminds us of the care he extended to our own foundation in 1988, when he assisted John Paul II in his role as Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith.

  • Message of His Holiness Pope Francis to the Participants in the European Regional Meeting of the World Medical Association
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL MEETING OF THE WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION To My Venerable Brother Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia President of the Pontifical Academy for Life I extend my cordial greetings to you and to all the participants in the European Regional Meeting of the World Medical Association on end-of-life issues, held in the Vatican in conjunction with the Pontifical Academy for Life. Your meeting will address questions dealing with the end of earthly life. They are questions that have always challenged humanity, but that today take on new forms by reason of increased knowledge and the development of new technical tools. The growing therapeutic capabilities of medical science have made it possible to eliminate many diseases, to improve health and to prolong people’s life span. While these developments have proved quite positive, it has also become possible nowadays to extend life by means that were inconceivable in the past. Surgery and other medical interventions have become ever more effective, but they are not always beneficial: they can sustain, or even replace, failing vital functions, but that is not the same as promoting health. Greater wisdom is called for today, because of the temptation to insist on treatments that have powerful effects on the body, yet at times do not serve the integral good of the person. Some sixty years ago, Pope Pius XII, in a memorable address to anaesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, stated that there is no obligation to have recourse in all circumstances to every possible remedy and that, in some specific cases, it is permissible to refrain from their use (cf.
