The 20th Conference of European Ministers of Justice was held in Budapest on 11 and 12 June 1996 at the invitation of the Hungarian Government.

The Bureaux of the CDCJ and the CDPC and the Senior Officials held their preparatory meetings the day before the conference. 3.

The theme of the conference was "Efficiency and fairness of civil, criminal and administrative justice". The main rapporteur was the Hungarian Minister of Justice, while the Ministers of Justice of Malta and the Czech Republic acted as co-rapporteurs. 5. In his opening speech, Mr Arpad Goncz, President of the Hungarian Republic, outlined Hungary's progress over the past six years in strengthening the rule of law and the market economy. Legislative reforms have been implemented, and the judicial system must fulfil its role efficiently and fairly. In the context of the profound social and legislative changes which many of the Council of Europe's new member states were undergoing, people expected more from the judicial system, which was itself facing problems of structures and resources.

  • Sons of Don Bosco Successors of The
    SONS OF DON BOSCO SUCCESSORS OF THE APOSTLES SALESIAN BISHOPS 1884 to 2001 by Charles N. Bransom, Jr. INTRODUCTION he study of apostolic succession and episcopal lineages has long fascinated students of church history. It was not until the middle T of the twentieth century, however, that a systematic attempt was made to trace and catalogue the consecrations of bishops on a world-wide basis. A small group of researchers has catalogued the consecrations of tens of thou­ sands of bishops dating back many centuries. The fruits of their labors--labors that are on going-have resulted in a database, which can trace the episcopal lineage of any living bishop and the vast majority of deceased bishops. In 1984, I began a project on the episcopal ordinations of bishops of re­ ligious orders and congregations. One fruit of that work was a study of the ordi­ nations of Salesian bishops, Les Eveques Salesiens. The present work updates, corrects and expands the 1984 study. In 1984, the episcopal ordinations of 130 bishops were presented. This study contains the details of 196 bishops. The text has been expanded to include the episcopal lineages of the bishops. Of the 196 bishops in this study, 183 trace their orders to Scipione Re­ biba, who was appointed Auxiliary Bishop ofChieti in 1541. The Rebiban suc­ cession is the major episcopal line in the contemporary Catholic episcopate. More than 91 % of the more than 4,500 bishops alive today trace their orders 54 Journal of Salesian Studies back to Rebiba Why so many bishops should trace their lineages to this one bishop can be explained, in great part, by the intense sacramental activity of Pope Benedict XIII, who consecrated 139 bishops during his pontificate, many of them cardinals, nuncios and bishops of important sees who in tum conse­ crated many other bishops.

Jesus’ supreme acclaim illuminates our Order’s choice to take the Baptist as its Patron Saint. The hospitaller religious institution, that is the monastic community founded in Jerusalem by the Blessed Gerard, was called the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Our Order has kept this name adding to it, after historic vicissitudes, of Rhodes and of Malta. Its official feastday is celebrated on 24 June, the nativity of St. John the Baptist. We thought it appropriate to dedicate one issue of our “Journal of Spirituality” to St. John. It is not a historical or theological treatise, but it aims simply to illustrate the figure of the Baptist as found in the Holy Texts, providing elements of reflection for the members of the Order. The suggestions offered by the interconnected themes leave room for a personal encounter with the luminous lessons of life coming from our Order’s Patron Saint.
