ANTONIO POMA- Villanterese Nato a Villanterio il 12.6.1910- morto a Bologna il 24 settembre 1985 Pur tra gli innumerevoli impegni del suo ministero, il Cardinale Antonio Poma ha sempre mantenuto un legame molto stretto con il paese d’origine. Numerose le sue visite a Villanterio, sia da Vescovo di Mantova che da Cardinale Arcivescovo di Bologna, per celebrare ricorrenze, cresime e suffragare i suoi genitori che riposano nel nostro cimitero. I più anziani lo chiamavano sempre affettuosamente “don Antonio” così come fece un suo compagno di classe che in questo modo lo chiamò in San Pietro quando, appena davanti a Papa Paolo VI, attraversava la navata centrale della basilica e si accingeva a ricevere la berretta cardinalizia. Chi ha avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo personalmente, ha potuto constatarne la semplicità con cui gli si poteva parlare ed il suo interessamento per ogni cosa, anche piccola, che riguardasse il paese che gli ha dato i natali. Con una solenne concelebrazione, venne festeggiato a Villanterio nel venticinquesimo della sua ordinazione episcopale e l’abbiamo visto commosso davanti all’altare dedicato alla Madonna del Carmine, allo scoprimento di una lapide commemorativa che ricordava come a quell’altare si formò in lui la vocazione al Sacerdozio. Anche l’Amministrazione Comunale, che gli ha dedicato una via del paese, ha voluto ricordare questa eminente figura di villanterese con una lapide commemorativa fatta affiggere, qualche anno fa, sul muro della casa dove il Card.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SECRETARIAT FOR NON-CHRISTIANS Friday, 27 April 1979 Dearly beloved in Christ, IT GIVES ME great pleasure to meet you, the Cardinals and Bishops from various countries who are Members of the Secretariat for Non-Christians, and the Consultors who are experts in the major world religions, as you gather here in Rome for your first Plenary Assembly. I know that you planned to hold this meeting last autumn, but that you were prevented by the dramatic events of those months. The late Paul VI, who founded this Secretariat, and so much of whose love, interest and inspiration was lavished on non-Christians, in thus no longer visibly among us, and I am that some of you wondered whether the new Pope would devote similar care and attention to the world of the non-Christian religions. In my Encyclical Redemptor Hominis I endeavoured to answer any such question. In it I made reference to Paul VI’s first Encyclical, Ecclesiam Suam, and to the Second Vatican Council, and then I wrote: “The Ecumenical Council gave a fundamental impulse to forming the Church’s self-awareness by so adequately and competently presenting to us a view of the terrestrial globe as a map of various religions... The Council document on non-Christian religions, in particular, is filled with deep esteem for the great spiritual values, indeed for the primacy of the spiritual, which in the life of mankind finds expression in religion and then in morality, with direct effects on the whole of culture”[1].

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF ITALIAN BISHOPS Friday, 18 May 1979 Beloved and revered Confrères of the Italian Episcopate!I deeply desired to meet you again at the end of this General Assembly, not only for the pleasure that renewed contact or—more exactly—communion certainly gives me and you, but also and above all to express to you my sincere appreciation for the commitment each of you has shown in these laborious days. I have just returned from the visit to Monte Cassino, and also this circumstance, recalling fundamental memories that concern both the history of Christianity and Italic civilization, makes me feel more deeply the spiritual tie that binds me to you. And also I want to thank you for having patiently waited for me, aware as I am that not a few of you should have returned to your respective sees for urgent requirements of your ministry.1. On my side, I have been careful to follow your work—as far as was possible. I noted, with great . satisfaction, its seriousness and clarity in the rightful and pre-eminent consideration you dedicated to the problem-theme of "Seminaries and Priestly Vocations", I have already spoken of this subject during the concelebration in the Sistine Chapel, but its intrinsic importance and the special contributions made by the, Rapporteurs prompt me to add some further considerations in this connection.There is no doubt that the statistical data that have been presented, should offer the necessary reference point for an exact evaluation of the problem; but, as Pastors animated by living faith and prudent realism, we must always keep in mind that the most effective remedy, the adequate solution, lies in an incessant, courageous, and fervent vocational initiative.

In this beautiful, ancient square, the Piazza Maggiore, I cordially greet all of you who have come to meet me: you who are taking part in the National Eucharistic Congress, you, the Church of Bologna’s faithful, and you, her citizens! I greet in particular Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, Archbishop of the city, as well as the Prime Minister and the Mayor of Bologna; to each of them I express my warmest thanks for their sincere and friendly words of welcome. Their presence here expresses, for different but converging reasons, the soul of a city and a nation whose histories are irrevocably interwoven with the Gospel. I am grateful to Cardinal Camillo Ruini, whom I cordially greet, for having represented me here as my Legate from the start of the closing celebrations of the National Eucharistic Congress. Lastly, I extend my greetings to my confrères, the Cardinals and Bishops who have come from every part of the nation, to the regional authorities, to the mayors of the towns in this Archdiocese of Bologna and of so many Italian cities, to the other religious, civil and military authorities — national and local — who have wished to honour this occasion with their presence; to them go my 2 respectful thoughts and strong encouragement to persevere generously in their respective tasks, exercising the responsibilities entrusted to them for pursuing the common good.

    Short Conclave Is Expected Two Italians Are Frontrunners

    PRICE 25c AUGUST tl/OICE25, 1978 VOL. XX No. 25 Short conclave is expected Two Italians are frontrunners By JOHN MUTHIG VATICAN CITY-(NC)-A quick decision was ex- pected as 111 red-robed cardinals headed into conclave in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace to pick the 262nd successor of St. Peter and the spiritual leader of some 700 million Catholics. Observers predicted that the conclave would take four days or less of voting after its Aug. 25 opening. , THE LEADING candidates appeared to be Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, 65, prefect of the powerful Vatican congregation which oversees the naming of bishops, and Cardinal Sergio Pignedoli, 68, a close friend of the late Pope Paul VI and president of the Vatican body which promotes dialogue with non-Christian religions. The vast pastoral, diplomatic and curial experience of the two men made them strong favorites in a conclave ex- pected to continue the 455-year-old tradition of an Italian pope. It remained possible, however, that the first conclave since the Second Vatican Council, the largest and most international conclave ever, would decide to give the world a non-Italian pontiff. Front-running non-Italian candidates included charismatic Cardinal Eduardo Pironio, 57, prefect of the Congregation for Religious, former head of the large Mar del Plata Diocese in Argentina and conciliatory general secretary of the Latin American Bishops' Council (CELAM). At the same time, some Vatican watchers were saying that cardinals seeking a pope who would share more power with local churches might decide to give their votes to Franciscan Cardinal Aloisio Lorscheider, president of both CELAM and the Brazilian Bishops' Conference.

The eighteenth Plenary Session of SECAM marks the closing of the Jubilee Year celebrating 50 years of the existence of this Symposium. This Jubilee is cause for joy and hope: joy for the gifts of grace received over the past 50 years and hope for the work that will be accomplished in the years to come, with the grace of God. First, I would like to extend to you the greeting and congratulations of Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, who delegated me to represent him on this austere occasion and who assures us of his spiritual closeness. “Church - Family of God in Africa, celebrate your Jubilee! Proclaim Jesus Christ your Saviour.” This theme is in line with the Special Assemblies for Africa of the Synod of Bishops, held in Rome from April 10th to May 8th of 1994 and from the 4th to the 25th of October of 2009, which concluded with the publication of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortations Ecclesia in Africa of Saint John Paul II and Africae Munus of Pope Benedict XVI.

    Cardinale Salvatore Pappalardo

    Testimone di Pace Cardinale Salvatore Pappalardo L’essere Vescovi, o sacerdoti, o semplici cristiani, non costituisce classi separate nell’ambito ecclesiale, ma significa avere ricevuto da Dio, attraverso l’azione santificante dello Spirito Santo, distinti Doni spirituali, per distinti compiti da svolgere, rendendo la persona oggettivamente sacra, per una vita da vivere poi soggettivamente santa, sempre ispirata al Vangelo di Cristo, e per svolgere nella Comunità Ecclesiale, e anche nel mondo, diversificate ma sempre benefiche attività, quelle del promuovervi la conoscenza della Verità e l’esercizio della giustizia, dell’amore e della pace. (…) Il dirsi cristiani, deve comportare la coscienza di essere stati, con il Battesimo, Unti e Consacrati, come Cristo, per una vita di Fede e per una missione da svolgere”. Dalla lectio tenuta per i suoi 40 anni di Episcopato, Cardinale Salvatore Pappalardo. Salvatore Pappalardo è nato in Villafranca Sicula il 23 Settembre 1918, da madre casalinga e padre carabiniere e dirigente della locale Stazione dei Carabinieri. Portato a termine il liceo classico entra nel Pontificio Seminario Romano Maggiore e segue i corsi di filosofia e teologia presso la Pontificia Università Lateranense. Viene ordinato sacerdote il 12 Aprile 1941 nella Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano dall’allora Vice Gerente, Mons. Luigi Traglia, e incardinato all’Arcidiocesi di Catania. Perfeziona i propri studi con corsi all’Accademia Ecclesiastica e nell’estate del 1947 entra in Segreteria di Stato alle dipendenze dell’allora sostituto Giovanni Battista Montini, come addetto alla Sezione degli Affari Ecclesiastici Straordinari. Fino al 1965 esercita contemporaneamente il ministero sacerdotale nelle parrocchie romane di San Giovanni Battista e S.
