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. -

Pope Francis Grants Plenary Indulgence to Catholics Marking Guadalupe Feast at Home
Pope Francis grants plenary indulgence to Catholics marking Guadalupe feast at home Pope Francis has granted a plenary indulgence to Catholics celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at home this Saturday. Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes announced the pope’s decision following a Dec. 6 Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, reported ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish- language news partner. “The situation of the pandemic forced us, for the sake of everyone’s life, to keep the Guadalupe complex closed from Dec. 10 to Dec. 13, and therefore the celebrations of Our Mother, instead of coming here to her house, she wants to go to your house,” he said. The Primate of Mexico offered further details in a letter dated Dec. 7. He explained that in order to receive the indulgence -- which the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines as “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven” -- Catholics must fulfill certain conditions. First, they must prepare a home altar or other place of prayer in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Second, they must view a livestreamed or televised Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12 “with devotion and with exclusive attention to the Eucharist.” Third, they must meet the three usual conditions for receiving a plenary indulgence - - sacramental confession, the reception of Holy Communion, and prayer for the pope’s intentions -- once it is possible to do so. Plenary indulgences remit all temporal punishment due to sin and must be accompanied by full detachment from sin. -
Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016
EEXXTTRRAAOORRDDIINNAARRYY JJUUBBIILLEEEE ooff MMEERRCCYY The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016 Pope Francis, who is moved by the human, social and cultural issues of our times, wished to give the City of Rome and the Universal Church a special and extraordinary Holy Year of Grace, Mercy and Peace. The “Misericordiae VulTus” Bull of indicTion The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, which continues to be the programmatic outline for the pontificate of Pope Francis, offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary Jubilee which was announced on 11 April 2015: “The Church has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG 24). It is with this desire in mind that we should re-read the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee, Misericordiae Vultus, in which Pope Fran- cis details the aims of the Holy Year. As we know, the two dates already marked out are 8 December 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the day of the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, and 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, which will conclude the Holy Year. Between these two dates a calendar of celebrations will see many different events take place. The Pope wants this Jubilee to be experienced in Rome as well as in local Churches; this brings partic- ular attention to the life of the individual Churches and their needs, so that initiatives are not just additions to the calendar but rather complementary. -
„Ordines” Mszy Koronacyjnych Papieży Jana XXIII I Pawła VI

Wynikało to z bogactwa ceremoniału i prerogatyw liturgicznych przysługujących osobie najwyższego pasterza i stolicy biskupiej Wiecznego Miasta2. Najbardziej uroczystymi celebrami kaplic papieskich były solenne msze odprawiane przez namiestnika Chrystusa, zwłaszcza z okazji takich wydarzeń jak kanonizacja czy własna koronacja. Solenna msza papie- ska była uroczystością – celebracją par excellence3. Ostatnie dwie koronacje papieskie odbyły się odpowiednio w latach 1958 i 1963. Papieską tiarę otrzymali wtedy Jan XXIII i Paweł VI. Ich następcy ze względu na symboliczny akt zrzeczenia się i oddania tiary dokonany przez 1 Zob. A.

Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.

Of the Coronation Masses of Popes John XXIII and Paul VI

The “Ordines” of the Coronation Masses of Popes John XXIII and Paul VI Bartłomiej Krzysztof Krzych University of Rzeszow [email protected] http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2525-9759 Before the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council that took place in the latter half of the twentieth century,1 the most solemn liturgies were cel- ebrated in the pope’s Rome, the beating heart of Christianity. This was because of the richness of the ceremonial formalities and the liturgical prerogatives to which the highest pastor and bishop of the Eternal City was entitled.2 The most ceremonial celebrations in the papal chapels were the solemn Masses that were celebrated by the Vicar of Christ on such occasions as canonizations or the pope’s own coronation. The Solemn Pontifical Mass was a celebration par excellence.3 The last two papal coronations took place in 1958 and 1963, respectively. Then, Popes John XXIII and Paul VI received the papal tiara. Because of the symbolic act of renouncing and giving up the tiara by Paul VI, their successors 1 Cf. A.
