Salva la distancia entre la realidad ontoteológica y su desenvolvimiento moral a través de una exhortación apremiante a la santidad de vida en la caridad pastoral. PALABRAS CLAVE: sacerdocio, don, misterio, eucaristía, caridad pastoral ABSTRACT: The author develops this paper in the form of a diptych. Firstly, he deals with the theology and priestly spirituality of John Paul II, seen throughout his char- acteristic magisterial journey. In a second moment, the author exposes, by way of synthesis, the priestly ministry that Saint John Paul II offers us. This bridges the gap between ontotheological reality and its moral development through a compelling exhortation to sanctity of life in pastoral charity.

LXIV NO. 23 Colorado’s Largest Weekly 28 PAGES 25 CENTS Individual Confession Bishops asked to avoid abuses of generai absolution By Agostino Bono VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has told U.S. bishops to promote greater individual Confession and to avoid abuses of general absolution. The sacrament of Penance is in crisis in many parts of the world because of “unwarranted interpretations’’ of the requirements for general absolution, he told a group of U.S. bishops May 31. The renewal process envisioned by the Second Vati­ can Council requires “the practice of integral and individual Confession of sins,’’ he added. The Pope said national bishops’ conferences must continuously promote better understanding of the re­ quirements for general absolution contained in canon law, the church’s legal code. “Sporadic efforts are not enough to overcome the crisis,’’ he said. Not criticizing U.S. One U.S. bishop who attended the papal meeting said the Pope was not criticizing U.S. practices but reiterating general principles. “I welcomed it," said Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly of Louisville, Ky. “It was encouragement to foster the sacrament of Penance.” The Pope spoke to 20 bishops from Louisiana, Ken­ tucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and the Archdiocese for the Military Services.

  • "Catholic Church, Where Are You Going?" a Conference. That It Not Lose Its Way
    "Catholic Church, Where Are You Going?" A Conference. That It Not Lose Its Way Dm, 20/03/2018 URL article: http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2018/03/20/catholic-church-whe … > Italiano > English > Español > Français > All the articles of Settimo Cielo in English * It is confirmed. Next April 7, the Saturday of Easter Week, a very special conference will be held in Rome. The intention of which will be to show the Catholic Church the way to go, after the uncertain journey of the first five years of the pontificate of Pope Francis. The reckoning of this five-year period, in fact, is rather critical, to judge from the title of the conference: “Catholic Church, where are you going?” And even more so if one looks at the subtitle: “Only a blind man can deny that in the Church there is great confusion.” This is taken from a statement of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra (1938-2017), not forgotten as an endorser, together with other cardinals, of those “dubia” submitted in 2016 to Pope Francis for the purpose of bringing clarity on the most controversial points of his magisterium, but which he has left without a response. In a Church seen as being set adrift, the key question that the conference will confront will be precisely that of redefining the leadership roles of the “people of God,” the characteristics and limitations of the authority of the pope and the bishops, the forms of consultation of the faithful in matters of doctrine. 1 These are questions that were thoroughly explored, in his time, by a great cardinal who is often cited both by progressives and by conservatives in support of their respective theses, Blessed John Henry Newman.

  • The Man Who Had to Be Elected Pope
    The Man Who Had To Be Elected Pope Dg, 2/04/2017 URL article: http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2017/04/02/the-man-who-had-to- … > Italiano > English > Español > Français > All the articles of Settimo Cielo in English * Mission accomplished. After four years of pontificate, this is the assessment that has been made by the cardinals who brought Jorge Mario Bergoglio to election as pope. The operation that produced the Francis phenomenon arises from a long time ago, as far back as 2002, when for the first time "L'Espresso" discovered and wrote that the then little-known archbishop of Buenos Aires had leapt to the top of the candidates for the papacy, the real ones, not the figureheads. It laid the groundwork at the conclave of 2005, when it was to none other than Bergoglio that all the votes were funneled from those who did not want Joseph Ratzinger as pope. And it came into port at the conclave of 2013, to a large extent because many of his electors still knew very little about that Argentine cardinal, and certainly not that he would deal the Church that “punch in the stomach” spoken of a few days ago by his rival defeated in the Sistine Chapel, Milan archbishop Angelo Scola. Between Bergoglio and his great electors there was not and is not full agreement. He is the pope of proclamations more than of realizations, of allusions more than of definitions. There is however one key factor that meets the expectations of a historic turning point of the Church capable of making up for its emblematic lag of “two hundred years” with respect to the modern world that was denounced by Carlo Maria Martini, the cardinal who loved to call himself the “ante-pope,” meaning the anticipator of the one who was to come.

  • The Permanent Diaconate in Mumbai, India (Dr. Gilbert De Lima, Director `Commission for the Permanent Diaconate', Mumbai)
    The Permanent Diaconate in Mumbai, India (Dr. Gilbert de Lima, Director `Commission for the Permanent Diaconate’, Mumbai) Ten years ago, on January 22, 2006, Bombay was the first and only diocese in India to introduce the permanent Diaconate when, Cardinal Ivan Dias, the then Archbishop of Bombay ordained two permanent Deacons. With the introduction of the permanent Diaconate in the archdiocese, stated Cardinal Oswald Gracias, the hierarchical structure of the Church in Bombay is indeed, complete! Today we have 14 permanent deacons and 8 student-candidates. We also have one deacon from Mumbai now engaged in his diaconate ministry in Goa and another deacon working in Pune. Despite our efforts to promote the diaconate through diocesan newletters in different dioceses in India, the burgeoning number of vocations to the priesthood, is a deterrent for dioceses to opt for the permanent diaconate. Pope Benedict XVI in his address on “The Importance of the Permanent Diaconate”, in Rome (February 13, 2008) declared, “While the deacons are always in communion with the bishop and the parish, there can be applications and activities of the diaconate that are very different. Various possibilities arise, depending on the needs which manifest themselves in their context, as well as depending on the professional preparation that the deacons have.” In this perspective, the permanent Deacon while assigned to sacramental ministry to a parish, are also involved in a ministry in their respective deanery depending on their charisms. Each of them is also assigned to a similar apostolate at the Archdiocesan level through his appointment in a Commission. Consequently, the different Archdiocesan Commissions they are engaged in are, Youth Ministry, Marriage Enrichment progammes, the Family Apostolate, the Involvement of the Laity through Small Christian Communities, and the Biblical Commission.

  • Vítimas De Pedofilia Na Igreja Divulgam Lista Negra De Papáveis Sociologia Enviado Por: [email protected] Postado Em:07/03/2013
    Disciplina - Sociologia - Vítimas de pedofilia na Igreja divulgam lista negra de papáveis Sociologia Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:07/03/2013 Uma associação americana de vítimas de abusos sexuais por padres pedófilos publicou, nesta quarta-feira, uma lista negra de doze possíveis candidatos a Papa e exortou à Igreja Católica a levar a sério a proteção das crianças, a ajuda às vítimas e as denúncias de corrupção. "Queremos dizer aos prelados católicos que deixem de fingir que o pior já passou" sobre o escândalo de pedofilia dentro da Igreja, declarou David Clohessy, diretor da Rede de Sobreviventes de Abusados por Padres (Snap, na sigla em inglês). "Tragicamente, o pior com certeza ainda estar por vir", indicou Clohessy, ao acrescentar que a verdade dos abusos e encobrimentos "generalizados há muito tempo e profundamente arraigados ainda não chegou à superfície na maioria das nações". A organização citou uma dúzia de cardeais da Argentina, Austrália, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Gana, Honduras, Itália, México e República Tcheca acusados de proteger os padres pedófilos ou por realizar declarações defendendo os padres ou minimizando a situação. Todos eles são considerados candidatos a sucessão do Papa Bento XVI, muito criticado pela forma como conduziu os escândalos. A Snap também se opõe à eleição de qualquer membro da Cúria romana, a administração da Santa Sé. "Acreditamos que ninguém de dentro do Vaticano tem verdadeira vontade de 'limpar a casa' no Vaticano ou em outras partes", indicou Clohessy em um comunicado. "Promover um membro da Cúria desencorajaria as vítimas, as testemunhas, os denunciantes e seus defensores a relatar más condutas", ressaltou.

  • What Is New Age? a New Order, a New Humanity, a New Faith
    What is New Age? A new order, a new humanity, a new faith Cardinal Godfried Danneels "Something is coming, and you can awaken it in yourself, by joining together with millions of other people gathered in a kind of new "host of saints", which through its power and its inner creativity has at its disposal such a propelling force that it can shock the entire world" (excerpt from the booklet "Global cooperation for a better World"). In the opinion of New Age, we are now on the threshold of unusual events. Around the year 2000 the Sun will enter the new constellation of Aquarius, and unexpectedly the speed of the universe and of history will be changed. The empire and religion of Mesopotamia was the age of the constellation of Aries, and the current constellation of Pisces is the age of the Christian religion. The age of Aquarius will bring a new world order, a new humanity, and a new religion. This is the premise which, in an abbreviated and objective way, answers the question: What is New Age. The author, Cardinal Godfried Danneels, Primate of Belgium, vividly compares New Age with Christianity. A "religion" that wants to encompass the world The searches of many people are already aimed not only at traditional sects, which narrow the horizons of human thought, but also at something open, something that expands these horizons. The former world will thus reach its boundary, and traditional religions will no longer manage to change anything. Let us search for something even bigger, something wider. Let us try and find something universal.
