(CNS)—Thirty experts in theology, social sciences and family life gathered for a symposium at the University of Notre Dame in mid-July to discuss ideas for enhancing the spirituality and vitality of Catholic families worldwide. Titled “Exploring the Unique Role of Catholic Families in Growing the Faith,” the symposium touched on issues such as: keeping children Catholic; bringing nontraditional families into the life of the parish; helping parents catechize their children; ministering to Catholics of all ethnic and racial backgrounds; and evangelizing through the family. Another topic was helping Catholic families function as the “domestic Church.” It was a theme that permeated the July 19-21 symposium. That concept of “domestic Church” was introduced by the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (“Lumen Gentium”). Not only are parents like pastors to their children, but also “the Christian family constitutes a specific revelation and realization of ecclesial communion,” according to St. John Paul II, writing in A chaplain distributes Communion to a death-row inmate at Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, Ind.

Pablo VI consiguió la acomodación a los postulados del Concilio Vaticano II mediante la Constitución apostólica Regimini Ecclesiae Universae. Los cambios efectuados por Juan Pablo II, con la Constitución apostólica Pastor Bonus, significaron la adaptación al Código de Derecho canónico de 1983. La reforma de la Curia romana acometida por el papa Francisco deja de lado muchas de tradiciones protocolarias propias de la Sede Apostólica a lo largo de los siglos y nos manifiesta un cambio de época que afecta, de forma singular, a instituciones como el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano, la Santa Sede y propia la Iglesia Católica, tal y como veremos en la nueva Constitución Apostólica, cuya publicación está prevista para febrero de 2015. Palabras clave: Iglesia Católica, Curia Romana, reforma, Francisco, protocolo. Abstract Catholic Church has carried out several reforms of the Roman Curia, semper reformanda, in accordance to the requirements of the new times, the ecclesiastical life and the conciliar spirit. 1 Dr. en Teología Dogmática y en Derecho y en Protocolo.

The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout sup- plications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and ac- cording to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should im- plore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pan- demic.

  • 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.

  • Tremors Abound As the Vatican’S Embezzlement Trial Begins
    Tremors abound as the Vatican’s embezzlement trial begins A criminal trial opened in Vatican City court on Tuesday that sees a once-powerful curial cardinal charged with embezzlement, criminal conspiracy and abuse of office. Joining Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu in the dock are nine other individuals — eight lay persons and one mid-level cleric — on various charges including extortion, fraud, conspiracy, money-laundering and forgery. By any measure, the business is a really big deal. Pope Francis forced Cardinal Becciu to resign as prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in 2020, and the pope also stripped him of the rights and privileges of his cardinal’s rank. Francis ordered a major criminal investigation and changed Vatican City law — the “civil” law that governs Vatican City State — so cardinals would be subject to trial in the City’s “regular” criminal courts. For his part, Cardinal Becciu on Tuesday renewed his protestations of innocence and pronounced himself “serene” before Vatican justice. He also told his lawyers to prepare lawsuits for slander, to be filed against Msgr. Alberto Perlasca — a key prosecution witness who was once at the center of the London deal — and Immacolata Chaouqui, a former Vatican official and central figure in the second VatiLeaks trial, who has said some very unflattering things about Cardinal Becciu to the press, some of which made it into the prosecutors’ paper filings. “I have always been obedient to the pope,” Cardinal Becciu told journalists after Tuesday’s hearing. “He has entrusted me with many missions in my life. He wanted me to come to trial, and I am coming to the trial.” Besides Cardinal Becciu, Msgr.

ISBN 978 1 86082 854 6 3 Introduction The Papacy is a dynasty: it claims to be an unbroken succession of Popes, onwards from the Apostle Peter in the first century of the Christian era, so is possibly the oldest institution surviving continuously to the present day. 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.
