    Press Release 15th anniversary of the death of Fr. Giussani and 38th anniversary of the Pontifical recognition of the Fraternity of CL Masses in Italy and throughout the world On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the death of Servant of God Fr. Luigi Giussani (February 22, 2005) and the 38th anniversary of the Pontifical recognition of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation (February 11, 1982), Masses will be celebrated by bishops and cardinals in Italy and around the world. The Mass will be offered for this intention: “That, in being faithful to the charism of Fr. Giussani and living our belonging to our Holy Church, we may follow Pope Francis’ invitation to ‘follow Jesus’ and ‘listen daily to His call’ which reaches us through His witnesses. Offering our lives for the Pope and for all our brothers and sisters in humanity, we ask the Holy Spirit that the encounter with Christ become more and more the total horizon of our lives and what truly forms all our relationships.” Referring to the context in which Christians are called to live out their faith, Fr. Julián Carrón (President of the Fraternity of CL) recently wrote, “Many times over the last few years, we have said–echoing the words of Pope Francis–that we are living a real ‘epochal change’. The signs of a radical shift in relationships at a personal, social and institutional level can be seen more and more clearly, all over the globe. In addition, in traditionally Christian countries, it is becoming ever more clear that societies are no longer capable of sustaining the Christian values that have shaped their people’s lives for centuries.

    The Conclave Has Begun. Who Will Be the New Pope? Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The Conclave Has Begun. Who Will Be the New Pope? Azzurra Giorgi (March 13, 2013) After the resignation of Joseph Ratzinger, the Conclave that will lead to the election of a new Pope began in Vatican City. Here is the list of those who are most likely to become the new leader of the Catholic Church. After Joseph Ratzinger resigned as Pope Benedict XVI, there are great expectations of the one who will take his place. After weeks of waiting, the first day of the Conclave has arrived. Here below is the list of those who are most likely candidates for becoming the new Pope. ANGELO SCOLA [2]: Archbishop of Milan, 71 years old. Well esteemed by Ratzinger, who wanted him in the theological magazine 'Communio,' he comes from two dioceses, Milan and Venice, that gave five different Popes in the last century. He is very reluctant of taking on a label and he has an open look on modernity. Page 1 of 3 The Conclave Has Begun. Who Will Be the New Pope?
