Carlo Nicora I have learned the sad news of the departure of the dear Cardinal Attilio Nicora, and I wish to express to you and other relatives, as well as to the archdiocese and brethren of his beloved Ambrosian Church, my heartfelt condolences. He leaves a memory full of esteem and recognition of the valuable service he offered with unique competence both to the Church and to civil society in Italy, especially in the legal field with regard to the revision of the Lateran Agreement and the implementation of the system of economic support for the Catholic Church and support for the clergy, and to the Holy See, as the rigorous and far-sighted president of APSA and subsequently the AIF.

  • To Better Protect God’S People
    To better protect God’s people When future historians write their histories of U.S. Catholicism, some may give Gilbert Gauthe a paragraph all to himself. Not for anything honorable that he did, but for something supremely dishonorable: He, as much as anyone, transformed sexual abuse of a minor by a Catholic priest from a personal disgrace into a national scandal. The story of this scandal is disturbing and complex. Even as the number of new cases has apparently dropped, bishops have found themselves struggling to cope with the consequences of earlier offenses that were covered up. Now even Pope Francis stands accused of not responding quickly enough, and Germany and Chile have joined the ranks of countries where the Church has abuse scandals on its hands. What follows is an overview of the history of this scandal in the United States, for the benefit of people trying to make sense of it all. It’s a perspective the bishops themselves will need as they gather in Baltimore the second full week of November for their fall general meeting. This issue is expected to dominate the agenda. Pope St. John Paul II speaks with Cardinal Bernard Law in 2002 in the pope’s private library at the Vatican. Cardinal Law had been one of the United States’ most powerful and respected bishops until his legacy was blemished by the devastating sexual abuse of minors by priests in his Archdiocese of Boston. CNS photo via L’Osservatore Romano A 1980s ‘aberration’ Start with Gilbert Gauthe. Although by no means the first abuser priest, he was the first to receive national attention as the specifics of his misdeeds and the bungling of his superiors became known.

  • In Opening Arguments, Cardinal Pell's Lawyers Make His Case for Appeal
    In opening arguments, Cardinal Pell’s lawyers make his case for appeal The legal team for Australian Cardinal George Pell set out its case for appeal at the Supreme Court of Victoria Wednesday morning. Judges heard the opening arguments for the defence as they sought leave to appeal. Bret Walker, arguing on June 4, told the three-judge Court of Appeal, led by Chief Justice Anne Feguson, that Pell was seeking leave to appeal on the grounds that his conviction by a jury was “unsafe.” In a controversial verdict, the cardinal was convicted on Dec. 11 of five counts of sexual abuse of minors. Pell’s legal team is seeking appeal on three separate grounds, the first of which is that a guilty verdict was returned despite the lack of proof beyond reasonable doubt. If successful, an appeal on that ground would see Pell’s conviction overturned and the cardinal set free. In March, Pell was sentenced to six years in prison. The secondary appeals, made on more procedural grounds, could lead to a retrial if successful. At the opening of the two-day hearing, Justice Ferguson noted that the judges had reviewed the evidence from the trial, visited Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and inspected the vestments Pell is alleged to have been wearing at the time of the supposed abuse. Ferguson explained that the purpose of the hearing was not to re-litigate the trial, or for the defence or prosecution to present the whole of its argument, which had been submitted in writing. Walker argued that the evidence used to convict Pell was clearly insufficient to allow the jury to reach a unanimous finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.
