  • POPE Benedict XVI's Resignation Has Sparked Calls For
    [POPE Benedict XVI's resignation has sparked calls for his successor to come from Africa, home to the world's fastest-growing population and the front line of key issues facing the Roman Catholic Church. Around 15 per cent of the world's 1. 2 billion Catholics live in Africa and the per centage has expanded significantly in recent years in comparison to other parts of the world. Much of the Catholic Church's recent growth has come in the developing world, with the most rapid expansions in Africa and Southeast Asia. Names such as Ghana's Peter Turkson and Nigerian John Onaiyekan have been mentioned as potential papal material, as has Francis Arinze, also from Nigeria and considered a possibility when Benedict was elected, but who is now 80. ] BURUNDI : RWANDA : Protests in Rwanda Over Genocide Acquittals February 11, 2013 /(AP)/abcnews. go. com KIGALI, Rwanda Hundreds of Rwandans on Monday marched to the offices of the United Nations tribunal set up to try key cases related to Rwanda's 1994 genocide to protest the court's decision to acquit two former cabinet ministers accused of masterminding killings. The protesters, bearing placards denouncing the Arusha, Tanzania-based International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR), mainly constituted of survivors of the genocide, youths and students who accused the tribunal of denying justice to genocide victims. "The international community failed in their response to protect the Tutsi from being killed and now it is failing to provide justice to survivors," one of the banners read. More than 500,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.

  • THE POPE: Resignation and Election 2013
    News in Review – April 2013 – Teacher Resource Guide THE POPE: Resignation and Election 2013 MINDS‐ON ACTIVITY When it is time to elect a new pope, the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church come from all over the world to take part in a papal conclave in Rome. Behind the sealed doors of the Sistine Chapel, the cardinals pick the man who will follow in footsteps of St. Peter. Going into the conclave of 2013, many believed that Cardinal Marc Ouellet of Quebec had a realistic chance of earning the papacy. As head of the Vatican’s office of bishops, Ouellet was a well-known and respected Catholic cleric who garnered strong support in the early voting. However, Ouellet, much to his relief, did not become pope. 1. What would it be like to have a Canadian as Roman Catholic pope? 2. Do you think church attendance would improve among Catholic Canadians if Ouelett were pope? 3. Would it be a source of national pride if a Canadian held such a prestigious office? SETTING THE STAGE Benedict Resigns The resignation of Pope Benedict was the event No one predicted the outcome of the conclave of that set this whole process in motion. Citing 2013. A little over a month after Pope declining health and the rigours of the job, Benedict’s resignation, 115 Cardinals gathered Benedict announced he was stepping down in in the Sistine Chapel to pick a new pope.

  • Papa Francisco Completó La Lista De Los Padres Sinodales Catholic.Net
    Papa Francisco completó la lista de los padres sinodales Catholic.net Papa Francisco completó la composición del Sínodo ordinario sobre la familia, que se llevará cabo en el Vaticano del 4 al 25 de octubre, y nombró personalmente, además de a los participantes previstos por los estatutos (representantes de los episcopados, encargados de dicasterios curiales, miembros de las Iglesias orientales, colaboradores del secretario especial, oidores y oidoras, delegados fraternos), a 45 padres sinodales (fueron 26 en el Sínodo extraordinario del año pasado). Son muchos los cardenales y obispos italianos de diferentes posturas, entre los cuales están presentes los nuevos purpurado creados por Francisco (Bassetti, Montenegro y Menichelli, que también participó en el Sínodo del año pasado), dos párrocos italianos y obispos que han sido nombrados recientemente, como el arzobispo estadounidense de Chicago, Blase J. Cupich. El Sínodo ordinario se reunirá para reflexionar sobre el tema «La vocación y la misión de la familia en la Iglesia y en el mundo contemporáneo» por segunda ocasión, después del Sínodo extraordinario de octubre del año pasado («Los desafíos pastorales sobre la familia en el contexto de la evangelización»). Si, según los estatutos, un Sínodo extraordinario (ha habido tres desde que se creó esta institución después del Concilio) está compuesto por los presidentes de las Conferencias Episcopales de todo el mundo, el ordinario, más amplio, cuenta con la participación de delegaciones elegidas en cada uno de los episcopados. Algunos ejemplos. Italia, en los últimos meses, eligió a los cardenales Scola y Bagnasco y a los monseñores Brambilla y Solmi; Alemania, al cardenal Marx y a los monseñores Koch y Bode; Francia al cardenal Vingt-Trois y a los monseñores Pontier, Brunin y James, Bélgica a mons.

    253 SEXTA PARTE LA CAL A PARTIR DEL MOTU PROPRIO DECESSORES NOSTRI DESDE 1988 254 255 El año 1988 es importante en la historia de la Pontificia Comisión para América Latina. En ese año el Santo Padre Juan Pablo II, con el Motu Proprio Decessores Nostri del 18 de junio y con la Constitución Apostólica Pastor Bonus del 28 de junio, reorganizó y potenció la CAL, dándole una ubicación en el orgánico de la Curia Romana y precisando más su naturaleza y finalidad. Estos dos actos pontificios son el punto de partida de una nueva etapa en la vida de este Organismo de la Curia Romana, cuya importancia era cada vez más evidente para la renovación y fortalecimiento del catolicismo latinoamericano. Después de 30 años de existencia, Su Santidad Juan Pablo II, consideró que había llegado el momento de reestructurar y potenciar la Comisión para América Latina de modo que fuera siempre en grado de responder a las expectativas que la Santa Sede había depositado en ella desde su constitución en 1958. El Santo Padre renovando y potenciando la CAL quiso dar un nuevo impulso a la obra evangelizadora de la Iglesia en América Latina y renovar el organismo de la Curia Romana especialmente llamado a animar la Nueva Evangelización del “Continente de la Esperanza”. En estos últimos 20 años la CAL ha tenido como Presidente los Eminentísimos Cardenales Bernardín Gantin (1984-1998), Lucas Moreira Neves (1998-2000), Giovanni Battista Re (desde el año 2000). El Motu Proprio Decessores Nostri dispuso que el Presidente fuese ayudado por un Obispo Vice-Presidente, este cargo lo han ejercido: S.E.
