PAGE 2 CHURCH TODAY SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 ‘Extraordinary’ Synod of Bishops to be held Oct. 5-19 at Vatican 250 members worldwide will meet to discuss marriage and family issues By Nancy Frazier O’Brien Catholic News Service (CNS) -- The family under discussion when the extraordi- nary Synod of Bishops convenes at the Vatican Oct. 5 will bear little resemblance to the family of 50 or even 20 years ago. The blended and extended families created by high rates of divorce, remarriage and cohabita- tion -- along with the worldwide migration prompted by economic turmoil and war -- have com- bined to change forever the view of family as limited to a mother, father and their children.

  • Eritrea Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010
    Eritrea Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010 Are Catholics allowed to practice their religion freely in Eritrea? The Executive Summary (paragraph 1) of a report published by the Institute on Religion and Public Policy states: The status of Religious Freedom in Eritrea is atrocious. While a 1997 Constitution provides protections for freedom of religion and conscience, this Constitution has not been implemented. The country only recognizes 4 religious groups: the Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, Islam, and the Roman Catholic Church. Members of unregistered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, torture, and, in some cases, death at the hands of state authorities. Even members of registered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, and interference from the government. The religious freedom situation in Eritrea is widely recognized by both governmental and non-government actors and agencies to be among the worst in the world. (Institute on Religion and Public Policy (2009) Religious Freedom in Eritrea, p.1) In a section titled Government Interference and Abuses of Registered Religious Groups (paragraph 8) this report states: The government interferes in the everyday workings of registered religious groups at the highest levels. The Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Muslim community in Eritrea have all faced abuses and interference in their religious affairs at the hands of the government. The government required all four of the officially registered to submit reports on the sources of their funding as well as complete list of personnel and property.

  • Liturgical Calendar 2007 for the Dioceses of the United States of America
    LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2007 FOR THE DIOCESES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Committee on the Liturgy United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 © 2006 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 3 Introduction Each year the Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by Pope John Paul II, and the Particular Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 2002, reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are recalled in the Mass in such a way that they are in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this calendar be for the Church in all the dioceses of the United States of America “ the high point of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2 Monsignor James P. Moroney Executive Director USCCB Secretariat for the Liturgy 1 For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms of the Roman Calendar should be consulted (cf.

Effective September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI loosened the restrictions on the use of the 1962 Missal, such that the special permission of the bishop is no longer required. This action was taken because, as universal shepherd, His Holiness has a heart for the unity of the Church, and sees the option of allowing a more generous use of the Mass of 1962 as a way to foster that unity and heal any breaches that may have occurred after Vatican II.
