  • Catholic Identity and Cultural Diversity
    1 “CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY” Catholic Cultural Diversity Network Convocation Thursday, 6 May 2010, 7:00 PM ‐ Notre Dame, IN Archbishop Pietro Sambi ‐ Apostolic Nuncio to the United States Thank you for your kind invitation to speak with you at this evening’s Convocation introduction on the important themes of Culture and Catholic identity, from the perspective of the Holy See. Each day in the Easter Season, the Church’s liturgy reminds us how the message, the ‘Good News’ of Jesus Christ went from the Apostles’ preaching in Jerusalem, to all regions, and households, and throughout various cultures. The Acts of the Apostles chronicles the Church and her early, marvelous growth. Today, we heard about the evangelizing work of Peter, Paul and Barnabas, and James. My own personal journey in the diplomatic service to the Holy See has taken me to different nations and continents, regions and cultures: serving in the Diplomatic Corps of the Holy See in Cameroon, in Jerusalem, in Cuba, in Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, in Nicaragua, in Belgium and Luxembourg, and in India; then serving as Pro-Nuncio and Nuncio in Burundi, in Indonesia, in Israel, Palestine, and Cyprus, and now as Nuncio to the United States of America and also as Permanent Observer to the Organization of American States. In that journey of 41 years in the Vatican’s Diplomatic Service, I have come to know, and admire, the various cultures of Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, Latin America, Europe, and now North America. From the Church’s history, and from my own history, I feel blessed to speak with you about Culture and Catholic Identity.

Mrs. Nevine Simaika Halim Abdalla, presented her credentials to Pope John Paul II. This provided The Holy Father with the opportunity to emphasize that negotiations were the only way out of the conflict in the region. Here are a some extracts from his address: “... As the Holy See never ceases to recall in these troubled times, there can be no lasting peace in international relations unless the desire for dialogue gets the better of the logic of confrontation ... ... I once again remind the International Community of its responsibility to encourage the return to reason and negotiation, the only possible way out of conflicts between human beings, because all peoples have the right to live in serenity and peace ... Religions have an important role to play in achieving the construction of peace. This mission is essential for humanity‘s future ... ... Egypt‘s prestigious al-Azhar University, which I have had the opportunity to visit, fulfils an essential function in the Muslim world and provides an opportunity for interreligious dialogue, especially between Christians and Muslims, to be continued and intensified ... ... With greater mutual esteem, Christians and Muslims will be better able to work together to serve the cause of peace and a better future for humanity.” 2 News Letter NR.

  • Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E
    Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E. McCarrick “Follow the Path of Truth Wherever it May Lead” May 28, 2019 he former Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick ordained me to the priesthood 25 years ago today. TI served as his personal secretary in the Archdiocese of Newark (September 1994 – June 1995) and also assisted him in a secretarial capacity during his many visits to Rome in my 19 years of ministry there. After long consideration, I have made the decision to place in the public domain some of the correspondence and other information related to McCarrick that I possess in my many years of service to him. I have spent time in prayer and discernment about the moral basis for revealing these. My decision follows attempts since September 2018 to share and discuss these with the Holy See and other Church leaders. Realizing full well that the debate about McCarrick has become highly politicized, I wish only to present facts that will help the Church to know the truth. From the outset of this report, I pledge my unswerving affection, loyalty and support for Pope Francis and his Magisterium in his tireless ministry as the Successor of Peter, as I manifested also to Pope Benedict XVI, grateful for their paternal solicitude and efforts to address the scourge of abuse. Indeed, my actions in releasing this report at this time are encouraged by the Holy Father’s motu proprio “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Mt 5:14), based on the overriding principle that it is imperative to place in the public domain, at the right time and prudently, information that has yet to come to light and impacts directly on allegations of criminal activity, the restrictions imposed on my now laicized former Archbishop, and who knew what and when.

  • At Funeral, Vatican Official Says Nuncio Was to Get Vatican Post
    At funeral, Vatican official says nuncio was to get Vatican post VATICAN CITY – At the end of the funeral for Italian Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the former nuncio to the United States, a Vatican official confirmed that Pope Benedict XVI had been planning to bring the archbishop back to Rome to take up an important post at the Vatican. Archbishop Giovanni Becciu, who holds the No. 3 position at the Vatican Secretariat of State, said Aug. 2, “The Holy Father wanted to recognize the valid work carried out by his Excellency Monsignor Sambi, especially in the last few years, by calling him to an important position in the Roman curia. But the Lord, in his inscrutable plan, wanted to call this good and faithful servant home.” Earlier in the summer, Italian media reported Pope Benedict would be giving Archbishop Sambi a Vatican position that would guarantee he would become a cardinal at the next consistory. The funeral Mass for Archbishop Sambi, 73, who died July 27 at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, was celebrated in a sunny public square in his hometown, Sogliano al Rubicone. Bishop Francesco Lambiasi of Rimini presided over the Mass and over the archbishop’s burial near his parents in the town cemetery. The funeral Mass began with the reading of a telegram of condolence from Pope Benedict XVI, who said the archbishop had given “generous service to the Holy See in different countries” during his long service as a Vatican diplomat. The pope praised the archbishop’s “diligent diplomatic and pastoral activity,” especially “in the Holy Land and, most recently, in the United States where he worked wisely, revealing the giftedness of his intellect and his heart.” During the homily, Bishop Lambiasi said Archbishop Sambi was a man who lived the values of mercy, faith and mission.
