    La Santa Sede DISCURSO DEL SANTO PADRE BENEDICTO XVI A LOS ARZOBISPOS METROPOLITANOS Sala Pablo VI Sábado 30 de junio de 2007 Queridos hermanos y hermanas: Me alegra acogeros a todos vosotros, familiares y amigos de los arzobispos metropolitanos a los que tuve la alegría de imponer el palio ayer en la basílica vaticana, durante una solemne celebración en la que recordamos a los apóstoles san Pedro y san Pablo. Nuestro encuentro quiere ser, en cierto modo, la prolongación del intenso clima de comunión eclesial que vivimos ayer. En efecto, la diversa procedencia de los arzobispos metropolitanos expresa bien la universalidad de la Iglesia, cuyos miembros, en todas las partes de la tierra, anuncian el Evangelio en distintas lenguas y profesan la única fe de los Apóstoles, que nunca ha cambiado. Os saludo cordialmente a cada uno de vosotros, venerados y estimados hermanos metropolitanos, y juntamente con vosotros saludo a los fieles que os han acompañado en vuestra peregrinación a la tumba de los Apóstoles. Envío, además, un saludo afectuoso también a vuestras comunidades diocesanas de procedencia. Dirijo mi saludo, en primer lugar, a vosotros, queridos pastores de la Iglesia que está en Italia. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Angelo Bagnasco, al que he llamado a suceder al cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, mi secretario de Estado, como arzobispo de Génova, y a presidir la Conferencia episcopal italiana. Lo saludo a usted, monseñor Calogero La Piana, arzobispo de Mesina-Lípari- Santa Lucía del Mela; y a usted, monseñor Paolo Romeo, arzobispo de Palermo. Jesús, el buen Pastor, os ayude, en vuestro ministerio episcopal, a edificar en la caridad las comunidades diocesanas encomendadas a vuestra solicitud pastoral, ayudándolas a ser siempre Iglesias vivas, llenas del dinamismo de la fe y de espíritu misionero.

And God’s existence does not contradict the discoveries of science, he told members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on Oct. 27. “When we read Pope Francis the account of creation in Genesis, we risk thinking that God was a magician, complete with a magic wand, able to do everything. But it is not like that,” he said. “He created living beings, and he let them Steve and Therese Hartley stand in the narthex of St. Luke the Evangelist Church on Oct. 23.

Tradycyjny biały dym, obwieszczający światu wybór głowy Kościoła, pojawił się o godz. 1906. Franciszek na początku inauguracyjnego wystąpienia odmówił Modlitwę Pańską za swojego poprzednika, Benedykta XVI. Następnie poprosił wiernych o odmówienie modlitwy za swój pontyfikat, po czym udzielił pierwszego błogosławieństwa Urbi et Orbi. Wezwał też do modlitwy o ogólnoświatowe braterstwo. 23. marca, papież senior Benedykt XVI spotkał się w Castel Gandolfo z urzędującym papieżem. 2. maja 2013 r. emerytowany papież, po pobycie w Castel Gandolfo, powrócił do Watykanu. Zamieszkał tu w klasztorze Mater Ecclesiae. Papieża seniora przywitał jego następca, Franciszek oraz delegacja Watykanu z sekretarzem stanu kardynałem Bertone i dziekanem Kolegium Kardynalskiego kardynałem Sodano. 1 5. lipca 2013 r., Benedykt XVI po raz pierwszy od momentu abdykacji wziął udział razem z Franciszkiem w ceremonii zorganizowanej na terenie Watykanu.

  • Working to Rebuild Trust in the Chilean Church
    Working to rebuild trust in the Chilean Church The abuse scandals within Catholicism have had a profound effect on the moral authority of the Church, as well as the devastating effects on the victims. For many people, the spontaneous trust they once had in the Church and its leaders has been damaged. This also has affected the Church’s witness in the public square and allowed critics of the Faith to point fingers. Reassuring people — particularly Catholics — that they can trust the Church, and restoring confidence in leadership, were the key themes of a meeting held in Santiago, Chile, May 6-7. Disquiet among the faithful was brought into sharp focus in the Latin American nation of some 18 million people, where allegations of abuse and claims that some bishops conspired to cover it up marred Pope Francis’ January 2018 visit to the country. Pope Francis later admitted that he had made a “grave error” in not believing some people who claimed they had been abused by priests in the country. He also invited the hierarchy to Rome to discuss the crisis, and the country’s 34 bishops offered their resignations. So far, Francis has accepted the resignations of eight of these bishops. The pope also dropped Chilean Cardinal Javier Errazuriz from his C-9 group of cardinal-advisers over allegations the prelate mishandled abuse claims. In the latest move to try to draw a line under the issue of confidence in the country’s bishops, the pope on March 23 replaced Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati Andrello as archbishop of the sprawling archdiocese of Santiago.
