  • Ottawa Priest Ordained As Papal Nuncio
    Ottawa priest ordained as papal nuncio Celebrating the feast of St. Joseph, Pope Francis ordained three new bishops who will serve as papal nuncios, or ambassadors. The new bishops are: Archbishop Jose Bettencourt, a priest of the Archdiocese of Ottawa and former head of diplomatic protocol for the Vatican; Archbishop Alfred Xuereb, a Maltese who was general secretary of the Vatican Secretariat for the Economy and had served as assistant personal secretary to Pope Benedict XVI; and Archbishop Waldemar Sommertag, a career Vatican diplomat from Poland. Archbishop Bettencourt will be nuncio to Georgia and Armenia; Archbishop Xuereb will take up posts as the nuncio to South Korea and to Mongolia; and Archbishop Sommertag will serve as nuncio to Nicaragua. “I am really excited with my new service to the Church,” Archbishop Bettencourt told Canadian Catholic News in an email. “First, and foremost, I am a priest like any other who has been asked to render a particular kind of service to the church—as a diplomat.” Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast welcomed the ordination. “I was thrilled for him; this is the key type of service that he has been training for in the church,” the archbishop said. “He has enjoyed his work in charge of protocol, but it is an extremely demanding office and he has done it very well.” “It required him to withdraw from even the limited parish ministry he would do in Roman parishes and I believe he missed that,” he said. “This will give him an opportunity for “pastoral” work on a different level.

  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church C Urrent Breakdown of Male/Female Leadership in Vatican D Icasteries
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church C urrent breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican d icasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above. While women have slowly gained certain leadership roles in the Vatican, you still need just one hand to count those who hold top- level positions in the secretariats, congregations and pontifical councils.

In remarks at the State Department in announcing the establishment of the office, Secretary of State John Kerry said that after discussing at length the global impact of religion with leaders from around the world who are involved in interfaith efforts, it’s time to do more than “just to talk about a better dialogue. I think we have to stand up and deliver one. “We need to recognize that in a world where people of all faiths are migrating and mingling like never before, where we are this global community ... we ignore the global impact of religion, in my judgment, at our peril,” Kerry said.
