Speaking at the Scottish launch of Aid to the Church in Need’s Persecuted and Forgotten? report, Bishop Gilbert said it was a privilege to be present and promote such important work. “Could anyone have foreseen huge growth in persecution of Christians since ACN was founded,” he said during Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral. “The word of God did, he knows all and sees all. Faced with such horrors sometimes the Word of God is the only one that fits.” The bishop said reading the report, which highlights attacks on Chris- tians around the world puts our own lives into perspective. “It is a privilege to hear the stories of people who have suffered so greatly,” he said. “They are and should be an incredible inspiration.” After the Mass, there was a special meeting which was addressed by teenager Victoria Youhanna, who Bishop Joseph Toal installed the first of two relics of St John Paul II visiting Motherwell Diocese at St Patrick’s, Sheildmuir in Wishaw on Sunday.

  • 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.

  • Papal Charity to Run Holy Week Vaccination Clinic for the Poor
    Papal charity to run Holy Week vaccination clinic for the poor VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Office of Papal Charities has purchased enough doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to offer inoculations in Rome to 1,200 of “the poorest and most marginalized people who, because of their situation, are the most exposed” to the coronavirus. The office, run by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, said in a statement March 26 that the first doses would be administered during Holy Week in the atrium of the Vatican audience hall, which is where Vatican employees have been receiving the Pfizer shots since mid-January. Cardinal Krajewski’s office also encouraged people to buy a vaccine for “our poorest and most vulnerable brothers and sisters” by making a donation online at www.elemosineria.va, the address of the papal almoner’s office, which distributes charity in the name of the pope. Soon after Pope Francis and retired Pope Benedict XVI received their first Pfizer shots in mid-January, Pope Francis asked the Vatican health service to not only vaccinate Vatican residents and employees, but also the poor who live in three homeless shelters nearby. Fifty residents were vaccinated, the almoner’s office said. The Vatican also vaccinated journalists who traveled with Pope Francis to Iraq in early March and has been offering the vaccine to ambassadors accredited to the Holy See. As of March 26, the Vatican had not said how many people total had been vaccinated there. Pope Francis has repeatedly encouraged people to get vaccinated to protect their health, the health of their loved ones and the health of their neighbors.

  • 2018 Catholic Ministries Appeal
    A couple of things that got my attention this past week… First, was the news coverage of the German experimental filmmaker, Wim Wenders, who is a lapsed Catholic at that, who was chosen the Vatican to produce a powerful Documentary - titled Pope Francis -- A Man of his Word. 60 Minutes did an extensive interview with him two weeks ago. The movie was released a week ago and gives a very interesting, unscripted view of Pope Francis. If you haven’t see the interview, I would recommend it. Catholic News Service described: Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, As well- crafted, sometimes moving documentary in which the pontiff largely speaks for himself, touching on a wide variety of topics of interest to believers and nonbelievers alike and setting out his vision for the future of the church. My wife and I hope to see it this weekend. Secondly, was Pope Francis’ announcement of the appointment of 14 new Cardinals. The College of Cardinals members who are under age 80 will elect the new pope. He added 11 elector Cardinals. He appointed Cardinals from Poland, Portugal, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, Japan, Peru, Spain and Italy. There is a great article on the Catholic Website, https://cruxnow.com/global- church/2018/05/22/with-new-cardinals-pope-speaks-about-the-church-and- himself/ Most of them have a very modest background. One is Bishop Toribio 2018 Catholic Porco Ticona from Bolivia, who went from being a shoe shiner and mine worker Ministries Appeal to becoming a “Prince of the Church.” Some of them come from where Catholics are a minority.
