  • Comunicato Della Sala Stampa Della Santa Sede: Udienza Al Presidente Della Repubblica Di Uganda
    N. 0796 Lunedì 27.10.2014 Comunicato della Sala Stampa della Santa Sede: Udienza al Presidente della Repubblica di Uganda Testo in lingua italiana Traduzione in lingua inglese Traduzione in lingua spagnola Traduzione in lingua francese Testo in lingua italiana Oggi, lunedì 27 ottobre 2014, il Santo Padre Francesco ha ricevuto in Udienza, nel Palazzo Apostolico Vaticano, il Presidente della Repubblica di Uganda, S.E. il Sig. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, il quale ha incontrato successivamente l’Em.mo Cardinale Pietro Parolin, Segretario di Stato, accompagnato da S.E. Mons. Dominique Mamberti, Segretario per i Rapporti con gli Stati.

  • Statement by Monseigneur Dominique Mamberti, Secretary for the Holy See’S Relations with States, at the Fourteenth Meeting of the Osce Ministerial Council
    MC.DEL/31/06 4 December 2006 ENGLISH Original: FRENCH STATEMENT BY MONSEIGNEUR DOMINIQUE MAMBERTI, SECRETARY FOR THE HOLY SEE’S RELATIONS WITH STATES, AT THE FOURTEENTH MEETING OF THE OSCE MINISTERIAL COUNCIL Brussels, 4 December 2006 Mr. Chairman, Participating for the first time in the OSCE Ministerial Council as Secretary for the Holy See’s Relations with States, I should like first of all to transmit to this assembly the greetings and best wishes of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. In the more than 30 years that have elapsed since the signing of the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE’S geopolitical horizon has changed considerably: the Cold War is over, the European institutional architecture has evolved, East-West political dialogue takes place at various negotiating tables, and societies in several participating States are undergoing profound changes and sometimes painful transitions on their way to democratization and integration. However, there are participating States in the OSCE belonging to three continents, that continue to meet and engage in dialogue, while the missions in the field are involved in implementing the various transition processes. Occasions such as this one therefore present a serious opportunity to adapt and strengthen the effectiveness of the Organization, not to modify its basic values and principles but rather to ensure that it retains its meaningfulness at the start of the twenty-first century. Moreover, to have “effective” democracies, there is a need for “effective” multilateralism. As a result, the Holy See strongly hopes that this meeting will strengthen and update the OSCE acquis, refining the instruments at its disposal for achieving its ultimate objective of peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region through safe and prosperous societies that promote human dignity and in doing so recognize its fundamental religious dimension.

    THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT-WTO SYSTEM By Copyright 2014 Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma Submitted to the graduate degree program in Law and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D) ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) _______________________________ Professor Virginia Harper Ho (Member) ________________________________ Professor Uma Outka (Member) ________________________________ Richard Coll (Member) Date Defended: May 15, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT- WTO SYSTEM by Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

In the first part of their meeting they both addressed the Anglican and Roman Catholic Diocesan Bishops of England, Scotland and Wales, in the Great Hall of the Archbishop’s Library, before moving to a private meeting. In the course of their private conversation, they addressed many of the issues of mutual concern to Anglicans and Roman Catholics. They affirmed the need to proclaim the Gospel message of salvation in Jesus Christ, both in a reasoned and convincing way in the contemporary context of profound cultural and social transformation, and in lives of holiness and transparency to God.

  • International Religious Freedom
    ADMJ JMJ “International Religious Freedom: An Imperative for Peace and the Common Good” Timothy Cardinal Dolan President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops September 12, 2012 Feast of the Holy Name of Mary Introduction We come to this event with a sense of urgency. Yesterday’s events in Libya and Egypt point to what is at stake. We need to be respectful of other religious traditions at the same time that we unequivocally proclaim that violence in the name of religion is wrong. Back in March of this year I penned a column for Catholic New York entitled “Violence Against Christians on the Rise.”1 I wish I could say the situation has gotten better since then. It hasn’t. According to the International Society for Human Rights, 150,000 Christians are killed for their faith every year, meaning we have seventeen new martyrs every hour of every day. This gathering of bishops, religious leaders, policy analysts, academics, public officials, media professionals, and people of goodwill highlights the need to 1 Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Catholic New York, Lord, To Whom Shall We Go? , “Violence Against Christians on the Rise,” March 22, 2012, http://www.cny.org/stories/Violence-Against-Christians-on-the-Rise,7163, accessed September 1, 2012. Page 1 of 15 defend vigorously religious freedom throughout the world. Americans are shocked when they read headlines of attacks on innocent people of faith in far off places, but too often the images of pain fade and with it the need for concerted action. As Secretary of State Clinton observed only ten weeks ago, “More than a billion people live under governments that systematically suppress religious freedoms … members of faith communities long under pressure report that it is rising.
