Popes have used such nominations to honor Churchmen for their scholarship or other contributions.

Such feelings are remarkable not for their longevity, but that they exist despite Krapf being the victim of clergy sexual abuse six decades ago at his small, hometown parish tucked away in the Jasper hills. In recent years, Krapf—a poet, author and former Indiana Poet Laureate now residing in Indianapolis—identified his abuser to the See HEALING, page 10 In his downtown Indianapolis home on Dec. 10, Norbert Krapf discusses the various hats he wears when giving readings from Catholic Boy Blues, a book of poems he wrote to help himself and others heal from clergy sexual abuse. The poems are written through four voices—the suffering boy, the coping adult, the wise Mr. Blues and the abusive priest. When giving readings, Krapf dons different hats to represent the various voices—the baseball cap for the boy, the fedora for the man, the flat cap for Mr. Blues and the hunting hat for the priest.

  • Vatican Abuse Summit Followup Decides to Hold More Followups
    Vatican abuse summit followup decides to hold more followups On Monday, in the Vatican’s first follow-up to last week’s child abuse summit, officials emphasized “encounter” and the need for concrete responses as called for by Catholics. The focus of the four-hour meeting Feb. 25 was “first and unanimously” on Pope Francis’ desire for encounter, according to a statement by papal spokesman Alessandro Gisotti. In attendance were some senior officials of the Secretariat of State, the heads of several Vatican dicasteries, and abuse summit organizers Fr. Federico Lombardi, Fr. Hans Zollner, Archbishop Charles Scicluna, Cardinal Oswald Gracias, and Cardinal Blase Cupich. The group agreed to continue to hold similar interdicasterial meetings “in the name of synodality and synergy” to monitor progress on commitments made at the summit. Gisotti said that dicastery heads, speaking openly, affirmed their commitment to following “the example of Pope Francis in the fight against abuses,” with an emphasis on encounter and on listening to victims. Other discussion topics during the meeting were the need for better child protection training and greater involvement from laity, Gisotti said. Organizers outlined for officials the principles behind the forthcoming documents and task forces – the promised outcomes of the abuse summit which were announced Sunday. The concrete commitments made at the end of the Vatican’s sex abuse summit Sunday included the publication of a motu proprio from Pope Francis “on the protection of minors and vulnerable persons,” Lombardi announced Feb. 24. Vatican City State is supposed also to receive in the coming weeks its own new child protection law, and the Vicariate of Vatican City new child protection guidelines.

  • Parish with a Mission by Geoff Pryor
    Parish with a Mission By Geoff Pryor Foreword - The Parish Today The train escaping Wellington darts first into one tunnel and then into another long, dark tunnel. Leaving behind the bustle of the city, it bursts into a verdant valley and slithers alongside a steep banked but quiet stream all the way to Porirua. It hurtles through the Tawa and Porirua parishes before pulling into Paremata to empty its passengers on the southern outskirts of the Plimmerton parish. The train crosses the bridge at Paremata with Pauatahanui in the background. There is no sign that the train has arrived anywhere particularly significant. There is no outstanding example of engineering feat or architecture, no harbour for ocean going ships or airport. No university campus holds its youth in place. No football stadium echoes to the roar of the crowd. The whaling days have gone and the totara is all felled. Perhaps once Plimmerton was envisaged as the port for the Wellington region, and at one time there was a proposal to build a coal fired generator on the point of the headland. Nothing came of these ideas. All that passed us by and what we are left with is largely what nature intended. Beaches, rocky outcrops, cliffs, rolling hills and wooded valleys, magnificent sunsets and misted coastline. Inland, just beyond Pauatahanui, the little church of St. Joseph, like a broody white hen nestles on its hill top. Just north of Plimmerton, St. Theresa's church hides behind its hedge from the urgency of the main road north. The present day parish stretches in an L shape starting at Pukerua Bay through to Pauatahanui.

  • 'Owned' Vatican Guilt for the Church's Role in the Holocaust?
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 4 (2009): Madigan CP 1-18 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING Has the Papacy ‘Owned’ Vatican Guilt for the Church’s Role in the Holocaust? Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Plenary presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations November 1, 2009, Florida State University, Boca Raton, Florida Given my reflections in this presentation, it is perhaps appropriate to begin with a confession. What I have written on the subject of the papacy and the Shoah in the past was marked by a confidence and even self-righteousness that I now find embarrassing and even appalling. (Incidentally, this observation about self-righteousness would apply all the more, I am afraid, to those defenders of the wartime pope.) In any case, I will try and smother those unfortunate qualities in my presentation. Let me hasten to underline that, by and large, I do not wish to retract conclusions I have reached, which, in preparation for this presentation, have not essentially changed. But I have come to perceive much more clearly the need for humility in rendering judgment, even harsh judgment, on the Catholic actors, especially the leading Catholic actors of the period. As José Sanchez, with whose conclusions in his book on understanding the controversy surrounding the wartime pope I otherwise largely disagree, has rightly pointed out, “it is easy to second guess after the events.”1 This somewhat uninflected observation means, I take it, that, in the case of the Holy See and the Holocaust, the calculus of whether to speak or to act was reached in the cauldron of a savage world war, wrought in the matrix of competing interests and complicated by uncertainty as to whether acting or speaking would result in relief for or reprisal.

  • (LOL) July 2021
    When he had finished eating, he said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep water LAUNCH OUT LETTERS (LOL) and let down your nets for a catch”. Luke 5: 4 July 2021 Welcome to the July 2021 issue. In this month’s issue we have Vicky Raw leading the reflection for the last Sunday Gospel on the feeding of the 5000. I am moved by her emphasis on the power of ‘littleness’. Jesus underpins this in the other parables (i.e. mustard seed, salt, yeast, children, etc.). We are a Church built on little acts of love. For a change,Bridget Taumoepeau on her regular section, succinctly unpacked the Eucharist. This came as a response to the controversial stand of some American bishops to ban Joe Biden from receiving the Holy Communion. Another issue that is in the news is the production of the movie about the Christchurch massacre. This points to the need to foster greater interfaith understanding. Timely enough we have Nick Polasheck, the Catholic representative of the Abrahamic Council share what he has learned from the Jews and the Muslims. Kevin Crighton shares his journey after graduating from Launch Out. It was not a bed of roses; a meandering path of finding his calling within the church. In the end, as in most cases, it found him. July LOL is a tapestry of the different changes and challenges that we are facing as people of God. The theme that weaves the articles together is service—as the heart of our calling, service great or small, service as Pope Francis puts it, “the only authority we have”.

  • 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.
