  • 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.

    June 26, 2019 Aughrim church takes a lead on climate action Planting Hope: the first new tree in Aughrim's Climate Action Woodland. [email protected] Page !1 June 26, 2019 Last Saturday, a Church of Ireland parish launched an exciting new initiative to tackle the crisis of climate change. As part of the bicentenary celebrations of Holy Trinity Church, plans were announced for a new Climate Action Woodland, to be developed on a picturesque site in the historic village of Aughrim. The very first tree of the new Climate Action Woodland was planted in memory of the late Michael Hyde, by members of his family. It was part of an inter–church ceremony led by the bishop of Limerick and Killaloe, the Right Reverend Kenneth Kearon, alongside Fr Gerard Geraghty, Archdeacon Wayne Carney, the Reverend Patrick Towers, and the Reverend John Godfrey, rector of the Aughrim and Creagh parish unions. “We feel that we can’t just sit back and ignore the crisis of climate change any longer. If we are to look our children and grandchildren in the eye, then we as a church urgently need to take a lead on climate action in our own community,” said Mr Godfrey. “This Climate Action Woodland will help to take carbon out of the atmosphere and protect biodiversity. But even more importantly, as people use it, it could inspire them to make brave changes in their own lifestyles. This is a symbol of hope, that if we act together now, we can stop climate change spiralling out of control.” Whilst enabling people to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the new woodland walk will also encourage them to reconnect with the ruins of an ancient abbey on those grounds.

  • Oath Swearing Allegiance to the Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy)
    (2/13/17) BLOG POST: Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled…? Oath Swearing Allegiance To The Pope (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy) http://maryrefugeofholylove.com ARTICLE: “BREAKING: Council of Cardinals pledges allegiance to Pope Francis” Monday, February 13, 2017 – 10:17 am EST News: LifeSiteNews Author: John-Henry Westen Source: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-council-of-cardinals-pledge- allegiance-to-pope-francis ROME, February 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – In an odd note without explanation placed on the Vatican’s daily press briefing today, the Council of Cardinals, a group of 10 Cardinals which Pope Francis has delegated to work with him on reform, has pledged allegiance to the Pope. “In relation to recent events, the Council of Cardinals pledges its full support for the Pope’s work, assuring him at the same time of its adhesion and loyalty to the figure of the Pope and to his Magisterium,” said the note. The statement comes in the wake of two public expressions of dissatisfaction or concern with Pope Francis that hit the streets of Rome in the last week. The first was a poster campaign which saw dozens of large posters plastered around the city. They noted Francis’ dismantling congregations, removing priests and more, and asked in conclusion, “Where is your mercy?” The second was a satirical version of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano painting the Pope as answering the dubia with ‘yes and no’ to each question. Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, last week criticized the poster campaign as a “work of the devil.” However, the Cardinal was criticized for his condemnation of the public expression of the faithful given that he has direct access to the Pope, whereas the laity do not.

  • Pope Francis Begins the Most Important Year of His Pontificate
    Pope Francis begins the most important year of his pontificate Curia reform, new cardinals and trips to unexpected places will shape pope's 2020 Robert Mickens, Rome Vatican City January 2, 2020 • (Photo: Evandro Inetti/ZUMA Wire/MaxPPP) Anno Domini MMXX. When the history of Pope Francis' time as Bishop of Rome is finally written, there is a good chance that the Year of Our Lord 2020 will be recorded as the most important of his entire pontificate. Some are wondering whether it may actually be his last. The pope's recent decisions to "retire" the powerful Italian churchman Angelo Sodano as dean of the College of Cardinals and to make Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of the Philippines head one of the most powerful Vatican offices – Propaganda Fide – are being read as signs that Francis is beginning to prepare for the election of his successor on the Chair of Peter. The 83-year-old Jesuit pope will also be issuing two major documents in 2020, and probably a few others. He'll continue to travel the globe, possibly going to places where his predecessors had hoped to visit but were denied entry. And there's no doubt he will add more men to the illustrious red-hatted group from which will emerge the next Bishop of Rome. So any way one looks at this new calendar year, it will almost certainly prove to be pivotal. The Synod paves the way to reform Pope Francis is to publish at least two extremely important documents already in the initial weeks of 2020.

ISBN 978 1 86082 854 6 3 Introduction The Papacy is a dynasty: it claims to be an unbroken succession of Popes, onwards from the Apostle Peter in the first century of the Christian era, so is possibly the oldest institution surviving continuously to the present day. Unlike royal dynasties, however, the next in line to the papacy is unknown until he is elected to the office. The election of a new Pope arouses interest worldwide, not only within the Roman Catholic Church, but indeed with many of other faiths and of none. The public gaze will soon be focused on the Vatican, where the Cardinals assemble in seclusion to decide the succession.

  • Briefing by the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Greg Burke, on the 27Th Meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis
    N. 181212d Wednesday 12.12.2018 Briefing by the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Greg Burke, on the 27th Meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis At 1 pm today, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Greg Burke, gave a briefing on the 27th meeting of the Council of Cardinals with the Holy Father Francis. The Council of Cardinals met for three days: Monday 10, Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 December. The meeting was attended by Their Eminences Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, S.D.B .; Cardinal Reinhard Marx; Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, O.F.M. Cap.; Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello; and Cardinal Osvald Gracias. Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin was not present as he was representing the Holy See at the Intergovernmental Conference for the formal adoption by the United Nations member states of the Global Compact for migrations, which took place in Marrakech, Morocco, from 10 to 11 December. The Holy Father, as usual, took part in the work, even though he was absent this morning for the general audience. Following the request expressed by the Cardinals at the end of the 26th meeting of the Council of Cardinals (10- 12 September 2018), regarding reflection on the work, structure and composition of the Council itself, also taking into account the advanced age of some members, the Holy Father Francis wrote at the end of October to Their Eminences Cardinal George Pell, Cardinal Javier Errázuriz and Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya to thank them for the work they have done in these five years.

  • Holy See's Diplomacy Ideological Displacement
    Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations e-ISSN 2238-6912 | ISSN 2238-6262| v.4, n.7, Jan./Jun. 2015 | p.209-229 FROM THE CENTER TO THE PERIPHERY: HOLY SEE’S DIPLOMACY IDEOLOGICAL DISPLACEMENT AFTER POPE FRANCIS Anna Carletti1 Introduction With the end of the bipolar system, the rise of new international ac- tors, mainly those emerging from the so-called periphery, started a process of rearrangement of power relations in the international arena. After five hun- dred years of Western supremacy, old power centers, such as China, seem to be returning to the global arena, looking for a qualitative rather than a quanti- tative inclusion. This is similar to what happened after the African and Asian decolonization and nowadays it refers to the reform demands that take into account changes that took place since the end of World War II. In this context, Pope Francis’ Pontificate, the first non-european and the first Latin-American pope, had begun. The new head of the most influ- ential religious transnational actor seems to be inaugurating a new stage of the Catholic Church action in the world, characterized by the ideological dis- placement, less Eurocentric and more leaned to the emerging periphery, in accordance with the current international system rearrangement demands. Through an international reading of the first years of his pontificate, asso- ciated to the analysis of the global and regional context – emphasizing the Latin-American conjuncture – that preceded him, this research will look for- ward to highlight the role that the Holy See can play in the current reordering moment, not only of the religious, but also of the political context.
