  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Briefing of the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, on the 26Th Meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis
    N. 180912e Wednesday 12.09.2018 Briefing of the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis At 13.00 today, the Vice Director of the Holy See Press Office, Paloma García Ovejero, gave a briefing on the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis. The Council of Cardinals met, as scheduled, for three days: Monday 10, Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 September. All members were present, apart from His Eminence Cardinal George Pell, His Eminence Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz, and His Eminence Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya. The Holy Father, as usual, participated in the work of the Council, although he was absent on three occasions: late Monday morning, for the audience with His Eminence Cardinal Beniamino Stella; on Tuesday morning, due to the ad Limina Apostolorum visit of the Episcopal Conference of Venezuela; and this morning, for the General Audience. The meetings on Monday and Tuesday took place in the morning from 9.00 to 12.00, and in the afternoon from 16.30 to 19.00. The session concluded this morning at 10.30. The majority of the Council’s work was dedicated to the final adjustments to the draft of the new Apostolic Constitution of the Roman Curia, provisionally entitled Praedicate evangelium. The Council of Cardinals has already submitted to the Holy Father the provisional text which will however undergo stylistic revision and a canonistic review. As already communicated on Monday, during the first session of this 26th meeting, the Council of Cardinals asked the Pope to reflect on the work, structure and composition of the Council itself, also taking into consideration the advanced age of some members.

FINN Health care reform joint pastoral statement: summary points Health care reform is needed and President Obama is to be applauded for making this a major priority for the nation. Despite the many flaws with the status quo, change itself does not guarantee improve- ment. The state of health care in our nation could worsen if we diminish the current protec- tions for the sanctity of human life; coerce Americans to fund abortion; negate or weaken protection of conscience rights for doctors, nurses, hospitals and health care systems; create a scenario where health care will be rationed based on some arbitrary assessment of the quality of life. Catholics, in evaluating vari- ous health care reform propos- als, should apply four principles of the Catholic social teaching: 1) Subsidiarity: respect for the inherent dignity and freedom of the individual by never doing for others what they can do for themselves, and thus enabling ear Faithful of the to hire part-time rather than full- individuals to have the most pos- Archdiocese of Kansas time employees. sible discretion in the affairs of City in Kansas and of the • Similarly, the much higher their lives.
