    Pope Names South Korea Bishop Prefect for Clergy

    Pope names South Korea bishop prefect for clergy VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis has appointed South Korean Bishop Lazarus You Heung-sik of Daejeon as the new prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Clergy. The Vatican made the announcement June 11, adding that the outgoing prefect, Italian Cardinal Beniamino Stella, 79, would remain at the congregation until the new prefect could assume his role. The new prefect has also been made an archbishop, the Vatican added. Born Nov. 17, 1951, in Nonsan, Archbishop You studied in Seoul and in Rome, where he received his doctorate in dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Lateran University. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1979 and served in a variety of positions in the Diocese of Daejeon, including spiritual director, professor and finally president of the Catholic University of Daejeon. St. John Paul II named him coadjutor bishop of Daejeon in 2003 and he became head of the diocese in 2005. Within the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea, he has been a member of many commissions, including those for mission and pastoral care, social affairs, and the pastoral care of migrants and foreign residents. He was president of the bishops’ committee for Caritas Korea from 2004 to 2008. He has been a member of the conference’s Commission for Clergy and Religious since 2005 and had been a member of the Pontifical Council for “Cor Unum” until it was absorbed by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in 2017. Archbishop You hosted events held in Daejeon as part of the Sixth Asian Youth Day, sponsored by the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences, and attended by Pope Francis in 2014.

    Saintly Summer Trivia

    Saintly summer trivia Sainthood. Each of us is called to it, but it’s not so simple to achieve. Thankfully, we have the example of thousands of men and women throughout history who the Church has declared to be in heaven with Our Lord. What better way to be inspired to live holy lives of virtue than to learn more about saints with the goal of modeling our lives after them? And because it’s summer, we’ve provided a fun, family-friendly way to do just that. Test your knowledge of the saints — and maybe learn a thing or two — in the following quiz. The categories give context clues, and if you need it, an answer key is at the end. Good luck, and have fun! Michael R.

  • 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.

Nuestro encuentro quiere ser, en cierto modo, la prolongación del intenso clima de comunión eclesial que vivimos ayer. En efecto, la diversa procedencia de los arzobispos metropolitanos expresa bien la universalidad de la Iglesia, cuyos miembros, en todas las partes de la tierra, anuncian el Evangelio en distintas lenguas y profesan la única fe de los Apóstoles, que nunca ha cambiado. Os saludo cordialmente a cada uno de vosotros, venerados y estimados hermanos metropolitanos, y juntamente con vosotros saludo a los fieles que os han acompañado en vuestra peregrinación a la tumba de los Apóstoles. Envío, además, un saludo afectuoso también a vuestras comunidades diocesanas de procedencia. Dirijo mi saludo, en primer lugar, a vosotros, queridos pastores de la Iglesia que está en Italia. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Angelo Bagnasco, al que he llamado a suceder al cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, mi secretario de Estado, como arzobispo de Génova, y a presidir la Conferencia episcopal italiana. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Calogero La Piana, arzobispo de Mesina-Lípari- Santa Lucía del Mela; y a usted, monseñor Paolo Romeo, arzobispo de Palermo. Jesús, el buen Pastor, os ayude, en vuestro ministerio episcopal, a edificar en la caridad las comunidades diocesanas encomendadas a vuestra solicitud pastoral, ayudándolas a ser siempre Iglesias vivas, llenas del dinamismo de la fe y de espíritu misionero.
