Meinte Jesus wirklich, was er sagte? Der Papst hat in der vergangenen Woche das Kardinals-Kollegi- um erweitert. Fast die Hälfte der papstwahlberechtigten Kardi- näle ist nun von Franziskus ernannt. Ist damit sein Kurs auch in Zukunft abgesichert? Keineswegs. Er hat ja auch sehr aktive kritische Geister in das Wahlgremium eines kommenden Papstes geholt – etwa Gerhard Ludwig Müller. Die Kardinals-Ernennungen haben aber auch Anderes in Erinne- rung gerufen: Die Kirche ist und bleibt eine Klassen-Gesellschaft. Zwar sind vor Gott alle gleich (Röm 2,11) und gibt es bei den auf Christus Getauften keine Unterschiede mehr, meint der Apostel Paulus: Es gibt nicht mehr Juden und Griechen, nicht Sklaven und Freie, nicht Mann oder Frau: „Alle sind einer in Christus Jesus“ (Gal 3,27f). Die Wirklichkeit sieht freilich anders aus: die neue Männer haben mehr Rechte als Frauen. Kleriker haben mehr Rechte als Laien. Selbst bei den Kardinälen existieren Rangunterschiede: Es gibt Kirchenzeitung Kardinaldiakone, Kardinalpriester und Kardinalbischöfe. „Nur einer ist euer Meister, ihr alle aber seid Brüder.“ (Mt 23,8) Sprach der, ohne den es die Kirche nicht gäbe.

  • 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.

    […] The eleventh Krakow conference, held in September 2011 The Ethical Dimension of Politics in Tomaszowice, near Krakow, concerned a topic that is difficult and has been annually postponed – that of the ethical dimension of politics. Its aim was to draw a conclusion based on thoughts from the previous conference, during which the contribution The Role of the Catholic Church of Christians in the process of European integration was discussed. This time it was a matter of defining what role Christian politicians in the European Integration Process have to fulfil in this process, especially those who as part of its structure and decision-making bodies bear responsibility for its shape, which includes its ethical shape.

    Pope Condemns 'Blind Violence,' Offers Prayers After Brussels Attacks

    Pope condemns ‘blind violence,’ offers prayers after Brussels attacks By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY – Assuring his prayers for the victims and families of the terrorist attack in Brussels, Pope Francis condemned the “cruel abominations” and prayed for the conversion of those who adhere to violent fundamentalism. “To all, I ask that you persevere in prayer and in asking the Lord in this Holy Week to comfort the hearts of the afflicted and to convert the hearts of those people taken in by cruel fundamentalism,” the pope said at the end of his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square March 23. “To all, I ask that you persevere in prayer and in asking the Lord in this Holy Week to comfort the hearts of the afflicted and to convert the hearts of those people taken in by cruel fundamentalism,” the pope said at the end of his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square March 23. Saying he followed the tragic news of the bombings with a “sorrowful heart,” the pope expressed his closeness to “the dear people of Belgium, to all the families of the victims and to all the wounded.” “I renew an appeal to all people of good will to unite in the unanimous condemnation of these cruel abominations that have caused only death, terror and horror,” he said. After his appeal, the pope led the people in the square in praying a “Hail Mary” for those affected by the terrorism, followed by a moment of silence for “the dead, the wounded, the families and for all the Belgian people.” Three nearly simultaneous attacks – two at the Brussels airport and one on the Brussels area of Maalbeek, near where much of the European Union is based – left at least 34 dead and more than 200 people injured.

Statement of Cardinal Reinhard Marx, President of the German Bishops’ Conference, Press conference on the presentation of the Study “Sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests, deacons and male members of orders in the domain of the German Bishops’ Conference” (MHG Study) on 25 September 2018 in Fulda The study on “Sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests, deacons and male members of orders in the domain of the German Bishops’ Conference” makes it clear to us that the Catholic Church has by no means overcome the issue of dealing with the sexual abuse of minors. The study takes a deep look into the past. I say quite clearly: sexual abuse is a crime. Those who are guilty must be punished. For too long abuse has been denied and hushed up in the church. One simply looked away. I apologize for all failure and for all pain and suffering. I am ashamed because of the trust that has been destroyed; because of the crimes that have been committed by officials of the Church; and I feel shame, because many people have looked the other way and did not want to see what had happened and who did not care about the victims. This also applies to me. We have not listened to the victims. All this must not remain without consequences! Those affected are entitled to justice. Since 2010, we have committed ourselves in the German Bishops’ Conference Kaiserstraße 161 53113 Bonn and taken appropriate measures to make an unconditional orientation towards Postal address the victims our first priority and to prevent that more people become victims.

    Oath Swearing Allegiance to the Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy)

    (2/13/17) BLOG POST: Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled…? Oath Swearing Allegiance To The Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy) http://maryrefugeofholylove.com ARTICLE: “BREAKING: Council of Cardinals pledges allegiance to Pope Francis” Monday, February 13, 2017 – 10:17 am EST News: LifeSiteNews Author: John-Henry Westen Source: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-council-of-cardinals-pledge- allegiance-to-pope-francis ROME, February 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – In an odd note without explanation placed on the Vatican’s daily press briefing today, the Council of Cardinals, a group of 10 Cardinals which Pope Francis has delegated to work with him on reform, has pledged allegiance to the Pope. “In relation to recent events, the Council of Cardinals pledges its full support for the Pope’s work, assuring him at the same time of its adhesion and loyalty to the figure of the Pope and to his Magisterium,” said the note. The statement comes in the wake of two public expressions of dissatisfaction or concern with Pope Francis that hit the streets of Rome in the last week. The first was a poster campaign which saw dozens of large posters plastered around the city. They noted Francis’ dismantling congregations, removing priests and more, and asked in conclusion, “Where is your mercy?” The second was a satirical version of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano painting the Pope as answering the dubia with ‘yes and no’ to each question. Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, last week criticized the poster campaign as a “work of the devil.” However, the Cardinal was criticized for his condemnation of the public expression of the faithful given that he has direct access to the Pope, whereas the laity do not.

Because abusive behavior has been going on and covered up for so long, it has entered into the system, and we are now observing something like an DEL VANGELO epidemic outbreak of a disease. What we see shows that the Church adminis­ tration to some degree had lost its compass. Priests used other people's lives Atti del corso annuale di formazione for their own purposes and needs, and the hierarchy was to some extent cov- per i nuovi Vescovi ering it up. It may be simplistic, but I think it is the correct perception, that what we do in terms of safeguarding measures, cleaning up and investigating, we don't do it with a fullycommitted heart and with full conviction; we hesitate to re­ ally get into the mess and admit the scale of its impact. We try to do it as if it were an add-on. We turn it on when we think we need it, switch it off when we don't. It's in the Church's DNA, it's inbuilt, but we don't use it; that's what people perceive. While it is true that for years many people in the Church have committed themselves to helping with healing and justice for victims, there is still the im­ pression that we are working primarily out of a sense of obligation, because the law and the public require certain measures.

Responding to questions on May 14 at a meeting with 1,700 priests and lay leaders of the Diocese of Rome gathered at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the pope said he realized the negative social implications of technology a few days earlier when Pope Francis he was greeting teens participating in a program of the international network of “Scholas Occurrentes.” “They were all there waiting for me,” he said. “When I arrived, they made noise, as young people do. I went to greet them and only a few gave their hand. The majority were with their cellphones [saying], ‘Photo, photo, photo. Selfie!’ “I saw that this is their reality, that is the real world, not human contact. And this is serious. They are ‘virtualized’ youths,” the pope said. “The world of virtual communication is a good thing, but when it becomes alienating, it makes you forget to shake hands.” Archbishop Angelo De Donatis, vicar of the Diocese of Rome, had asked Pope Francis about his impressions of the meeting in March in preparation for the upcoming meeting of the Synod of Bishops on “young people, faith and Catechumen Hannah Bach, vocational discernment,” and how the 18, is guided into the Church should respond to the needs of baptismal font at St.
