La sorprendente denuncia del papa Francisco La reunión reservada Pocas horas después de las acostumbradas citas religiosas, el Papa se prepara para asistir al palacio apostólico. Como siempre, el Pontífice controla personalmente la agenda con los compromisos de la jornada. «Siempre lo he hecho así, la llevo en una carpeta negra, con la afeitadora, el brevia- rio, la agenda y un libro de lectura.»1 Por la mañana está prevista la audiencia con el arzobispo Jean Louis Bruguès, bibliotecario y archivista de la Santa Sede. Pero la reunión más importante es al mediodía. El Papa repasa con atención sus citas mientras lo aguardan en uno de los salones más inaccesibles y fascinantes del pala- cio. La estancia, decorada con estucos y tapices de inestima- ble valor, se encuentra en el tercer piso, entre el departamento del Pontífice, el que dejó vacío Benedicto XVI, y la Secretaría de Estado. Los cardenales que lo esperan conversan en voz baja reunidos en pequeños grupos. La tensión es evidente. Están todos en la antigua Sala Bologna, la sugestiva sala de almuerzo papal frecuentada por Gregorio XIII (1502- 1585), con frescos de inmensos mapas terrestres y astrales realizados para dar la medida del ambicioso programa de su 1 De la conferencia impresa del papa Francisco el 28 de julio de 2013. Sin título-2 17 12/11/15 17:52 18 Vía crucis pontificado. No es una estancia cualquiera, fue allí donde la Iglesia realizó las reuniones más dramáticas de su pasado re- ciente: el encuentro sobre la pedofilia organizado por Juan Pablo II y desarrollado en abril de 2002 con la presencia de los cardenales estadounidenses, así como el encuentro con los purpurados eclesiásticos entonces desorientados después de la muerte del papa polaco. La decoración se remonta al Jubileo de 1575, pero hoy es más actual que nunca ya que, de hecho, armoniza con el programa del papa Francisco, del mismo modo ambicioso y lleno de incógnitas porque está sostenido por el deseo del Papa de llevar la Iglesia al mundo y hacer frente a los nego- cios ocultos y los privilegios internos de la curia. La suya es una revolución firme y dulce que, no obstante, ha desenca- denado una guerra sin reglas ni fronteras. Los enemigos del Pontífice son poderosos, hipócritas y oportunistas. El Papa hace su ingreso en una asamblea que se asemeja a un cónclave. Está el cardenal Giuseppe Versaldi, que dirige la Prefectura; más apartado, el cardenal Giuseppe Bertello, a cargo de la Gobernación; y Domenico Calcagno, presidente de la APSA. En resumen, están todos los pesos pesados que manejan el dinero y las propiedades de la Santa Sede. Oficialmente, se va a aprobar el balance de ganancias y pérdidas de 2012, pero todos saben que es otra cuestión la que han de tratar. El papa Francisco ha anunciado súbitamente la intención de reformar a la curia. Ya en abril de 2013, a un mes exacto de su nombramiento, ha creado una nueva comisión que deberá ayudarlo en el gobierno de la Iglesia. Un consejo compuesto de ocho cardenales provenientes de varios conti- nentes, constituido con el objetivo de romper con el excesivo centralismo de los purpurados residentes en el Vaticano.2 2 De los ocho cardenales, sólo uno reside en Roma, el cardenal Giuseppe Bertello, presidente de la Gobernación.

    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.

    June 26, 2019 Aughrim church takes a lead on climate action Planting Hope: the first new tree in Aughrim's Climate Action Woodland. [email protected] Page !1 June 26, 2019 Last Saturday, a Church of Ireland parish launched an exciting new initiative to tackle the crisis of climate change. As part of the bicentenary celebrations of Holy Trinity Church, plans were announced for a new Climate Action Woodland, to be developed on a picturesque site in the historic village of Aughrim. The very first tree of the new Climate Action Woodland was planted in memory of the late Michael Hyde, by members of his family. It was part of an inter–church ceremony led by the bishop of Limerick and Killaloe, the Right Reverend Kenneth Kearon, alongside Fr Gerard Geraghty, Archdeacon Wayne Carney, the Reverend Patrick Towers, and the Reverend John Godfrey, rector of the Aughrim and Creagh parish unions. “We feel that we can’t just sit back and ignore the crisis of climate change any longer. If we are to look our children and grandchildren in the eye, then we as a church urgently need to take a lead on climate action in our own community,” said Mr Godfrey. “This Climate Action Woodland will help to take carbon out of the atmosphere and protect biodiversity. But even more importantly, as people use it, it could inspire them to make brave changes in their own lifestyles. This is a symbol of hope, that if we act together now, we can stop climate change spiralling out of control.” Whilst enabling people to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the new woodland walk will also encourage them to reconnect with the ruins of an ancient abbey on those grounds.

  • 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.

  • Pope Francis Begins the Most Important Year of His Pontificate
    Pope Francis begins the most important year of his pontificate Curia reform, new cardinals and trips to unexpected places will shape pope's 2020 Robert Mickens, Rome Vatican City January 2, 2020 • (Photo: Evandro Inetti/ZUMA Wire/MaxPPP) Anno Domini MMXX. When the history of Pope Francis' time as Bishop of Rome is finally written, there is a good chance that the Year of Our Lord 2020 will be recorded as the most important of his entire pontificate. Some are wondering whether it may actually be his last. The pope's recent decisions to "retire" the powerful Italian churchman Angelo Sodano as dean of the College of Cardinals and to make Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of the Philippines head one of the most powerful Vatican offices – Propaganda Fide – are being read as signs that Francis is beginning to prepare for the election of his successor on the Chair of Peter. The 83-year-old Jesuit pope will also be issuing two major documents in 2020, and probably a few others. He'll continue to travel the globe, possibly going to places where his predecessors had hoped to visit but were denied entry. And there's no doubt he will add more men to the illustrious red-hatted group from which will emerge the next Bishop of Rome. So any way one looks at this new calendar year, it will almost certainly prove to be pivotal. The Synod paves the way to reform Pope Francis is to publish at least two extremely important documents already in the initial weeks of 2020.

Unlike royal dynasties, however, the next in line to the papacy is unknown until he is elected to the office. The election of a new Pope arouses interest worldwide, not only within the Roman Catholic Church, but indeed with many of other faiths and of none. The public gaze will soon be focused on the Vatican, where the Cardinals assemble in seclusion to decide the succession.
