Christiansen Papal Diplomacy Talk V2
Pope Francis and Vatican Diplomacy By Drew Christiansen, S.J. Christ Church—Episcopal, Georgetown, D.C. June 10, 2014 In a new book, Pietro Parollin, the Vatican secretary of state, predicted that we can expect new diplomatic initiatives from Pope Francis. The interreligious prayer service this past weekend in the Vatican gardens is an example of the Pope’s personal diplomacy as was the Day of Prayer for Peace last year in advance of the projected US bombing of Syrian chemical weapon sites. But Francis has also opted for a more forthright use of Vatican diplomacy, sending off Vatican diplomats at the time of the chemical weapons crisis and to last February’s Geneva conference on Syria. The collaboration with the Church of England on anti-trafficking programs is another example of his activist policy. In naming Parollin as secretary of state, the Holy Father also chose a man able to fulfill his aspirations for Vatican diplomacy. Cardinal Parollin is a modest man, a good listener, an effective negotiator and a Quiet but decisive policymaker. He made progress in opening relations with Vietnam, prepared the ground for an opening with China, and worked less successfully to conclude long-running negotiations with Israel. Pope Francis has also let it be known that the first step in the restructuring of the Roman Curia will be to focus the Secretariat of State on diplomatic affairs. That focus will not only be on symbolic religious events, though they have a role on which I will say something at the end, but also on more energetic diplomacy in the usual fora aimed at pragmatic results. -

Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli There Is a Famous Phrase in Our (Italian
Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli 1 There is a famous phrase in our (Italian) history: “you are killing a dead man”; I think that after two days of such intensity it is my duty to be as brief as possible. To me these conferences are precious because meeting so often and debating themes so profound has nurtured true friendship. As Domingo just said, I began my work with the Foundation in 1996, two and a half years after its birth, and ever since we have striven to make progress, to build something, to bear testimony to something. These seventeen years have been very fruitful. Today I wish to close our Conference with a few words that Pope Francis addressed to all of us a few days ago, words that I find particularly illuminating. He told us that this crisis is not purely economic or cultural, it is a human one and our conference has come to the same conclusion. It is man who is suffering and can be destroyed. If there is something that should continue to be the focus of our work, of our commitment, it is this profound passion for man. This is why the title of this conference is stimulating: rethinking does not mean repeating what we have been doing over the past decades, it means acting on this passion to reformulate our thoughts. We will have to discover anew what audacity and wisdom are and how these two forces can urge us forward in our work, strengthen our commitment, promote encounter. Once again, as Pope Francis said, this is not a cultural crisis, it is the crisis of man. -

The Holy See
The Holy See ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE MEMBERS OF THE VATICAN FOUNDATION "CENTESIMUS ANNUS - PRO PONTIFICE" 9 may 1998 Your Eminence, Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. I am pleased to offer my cordial welcome to you all, gathered in the Vatican to take part in the annual study conference organized by the “Centesimus Annus – Pro Pontifice” Foundation on the theme: “Globalization and Solidarity”. My thoughts turn first to Cardinal Lorenzo Antonetti, whom I thank for his cordial words on behalf of those present. With him I greet Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli and all of you, dear members of the foundation who have wished to visit me with your relatives. The work of your praiseworthy society is particularly inspired by the Encyclical Centesimus annus, in which I wanted to recall the centenary of the Encyclical Rerum novarum of my venerable Predecessor Leo XIII, who, at a time fraught with problems and social tensions, opened to the Church a new and promising field of evangelization and promotion of human rights. Comparison of the two documents highlights the profoundly different contexts to which these interventions of the Magisterium refer: the first dealt mainly with the “worker question” in a European context; the second, however, turns its attention to new economic and social problems and global horizons. In subsequent years, the latter situation has assumed even more complex dimensions, revealing questions of great importance for the very future of mankind and for peace among nations. In this whole web of new and problematic situations, the Magisterium has not been slow to reassert the perennial principles of the Gospel in defence of the dignity of the person and of human work, accompanying the constant, grass-roots activity of Christians in the social sphere with precise and frequent statements. -
Address of Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli
Address of Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, President, Pontifical Council for Social Communications FABC-OSC - 13th Annual Bishops’ Meet Theme: Communication Challenges for Bishops’ Conferences in Asia Huan Hin, Thailand, 17-22 November 2008 My brother Bishops, dear friends in Christ, It is a great pleasure and honour for me to be here with you at this 13th annual Bishops’ Meet, bringing together representatives of Church social communications commissions and offices from across Asia. I am very happy to be able to meet you and to learn more about your efforts to promote social communications in Asia. This is a providential occasion to share with and learn from one another. Over the past year and a half, since my appointment to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, I have had many opportunities to meet both in Rome and abroad people from all walks of life working in the rich and varied field of Church pastoral communication. It has been an extraordinary time of discovery for me as I am sure it will be here with you on my first visit to Asia as President of the Pontifical Council. Once again, I would like to thank Father Eilers for inviting me. I would also like to express my appreciation for all that he has done over the years at the FABC-OSC in supporting and promoting in Asia the Church’s work in social communications. The annual Bishops’ Meet and the BISCOM training seminars have offered excellent opportunities for further education, sharing and networking. It is also heartening to see how such efforts have been possible despite the difficulties of meeting given the great travel distances and costs.
