  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MASS FOR THE EPISCOPAL ORDINATION OF FIVE NEW BISHOPS HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Vatican Basilica Saturday, 12 September 2009 Images of the celebration Dear Brothers and Sisters, We greet with affection and cordially join in the joy of our five brother priests whom the Lord has called to be successors of the Apostles: Mons. Gabriele Giordano Caccia, Mons. Franco Coppola, Mons. Pietro Parolin, Mons. Raffaello Martinelli and Mons. Giorgio Corbellini. I am grateful to each one of them for the faithful service they have rendered to the Church, working in the Secretariat of State, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or the Governorate of Vatican City State. I am certain that in their new fields of pastoral action they will carry out with the same love for Christ and the same zeal for souls the ministry that is entrusted to them today with their episcopal Ordination. In accordance with the Apostolic Tradition, this Sacrament is conferred through the imposition of hands and prayer. The laying on of hands takes place in silence. Human words are hushed. The soul opens in silence to God whose hand reaches out to the man and takes him for his own. At the same time, he invests him to protect him so that he may become entirely God's property, belonging to him fully and leading men and women into God's hands. Prayer follows, however, as a second fundamental element of the act of consecration. Episcopal Ordination is an event of prayer. No man can make another man a priest or a Bishop.

  • Catholic Mediation in the Basque Peace Process: Questioning the Transnational Dimension
    religions Article Catholic Mediation in the Basque Peace Process: Questioning the Transnational Dimension Xabier Itçaina 1,2 1 CNRS—Centre Emile Durkheim, Sciences Po Bordeaux, 11 allée Ausone, 33607 Pessac, France; [email protected] 2 GEZKI, University of the Basque Country, 20018 San Sebastian, Spain Received: 30 March 2020; Accepted: 17 April 2020; Published: 27 April 2020 Abstract: The Basque conflict was one of the last ethnonationalist violent struggles in Western Europe, until the self-dissolution in 2018 of ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna, Basque Country and Freedom). The role played by some sectors of the Roman Catholic Church in the mediation efforts leading to this positive outcome has long been underestimated, as has the internal pluralism of the Church in this regard. This article specifically examines the transnational dimension of this mediation, including its symbolic aspect. The call to involve the Catholic institution transnationally was not limited to the tangible outcomes of mediation. The mere fact of involving transnational religious and non-religious actors represented a symbolic gain for the parties in the conflict struggling to impose their definitions of peace. Transnational mediation conveyed in itself explicit or implicit comparisons with other ethnonationalist conflicts, a comparison that constituted political resources for or, conversely, unacceptable constraints upon the actors involved. Keywords: Basque conflict; nationalism; Catholic Church; Holy See; transnational mediation; conflict resolution 1. Introduction The Basque conflict was one of the last ethnonationalist violent struggles in Western Europe, until the definitive ceasefire (2011), decommissioning (2017), and self-dissolution (2018) of the armed organization ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna, Basque Country and Freedom).

  • Torture Is a Moral Issue: a Catholic Study Guide
    TORTURE IS A MORAL ISSUE: A CATHOLIC STUDY GUIDE INTRODUCTION This four-chapter discussion guide on torture was developed in early 2008, as a collaboration between the Catholic members of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture and the Office of International Justice and Peace of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The chapters are designed for use by discussion groups and classes in Catholic settings, as well as by individuals, families, and others. The intent of this material is to prompt thinking and reflection on torture as a moral issue. What has Pope Benedict XVI said about the use of torture in prisons? What does the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church say about this? Have the Catholic bishops of the United States spoken out on torture? You’ll find answers to questions like those in the chapters that follow, along with reflections on torture and prisoner abuse by numerous Catholic bishops, theologians, and other commentators. Chapter 1 is devoted to Catholic thought on the dignity of every human person. For when Catholic leaders today turn attention to the use of torture in prisons of any kind anywhere in the world, they consistently view it as a violation of the human person’s God-given dignity. Chapter 2 focuses on torture itself, and the reasons why it is a source of such concern for the Church at this point in the third millennium. What forms does torture take? What reasons are given for the torture or abusive treatment of prisoners today? What specific objections are lodged by Catholic leaders against torture? Chapter 3 closely examines Jesus’ Gospel instruction to love our enemies.

  • Discours De Philippe Levillain Membre De L'institut Aux Obsèques
    Discours de Philippe Levillain Membre de l’Institut aux Obsèques du Cardinal Roger Etchegaray Lundi 9 septembre 2019 Éminence, Messeigneurs, Monsieur le Ministre, Monsieur le Préfet, Monsieur le Maire de Bayonne, Il n’est pas usuel que les obsèques, d’un cardinal de la sainte Église romaine, aient lieu dans la cathédrale de son pays natal. Le cardinal Etchegaray, que j’ai connu de longue date, quand il fut expert au Concile, et moi jeune attaché de presse, n’aimait pas les honneurs. Il les prenait, parce qu’on les lui proposait. Il les prenait aussi parce qu’il estimait qu’il était de la dignité de sa fonction d’assumer le rang qui lui a été proposé par l’Église catholique romaine au Vatican. Il y vécut trente ans, sans être véritablement Romain, attaché à Rome pour sa beauté et surtout pour le tombeau de Pierre et le Souverain pontife. Il fut le compagnon de route permanent de Jean-Paul II, qui le créa cardinal le 30 juin 1979. Et il appréciait souverainement cette encyclique du Saint-Père Redemptor hominis, publié en mars 1979, peu de temps avant son élévation au cardinalat. Il en aimait le thème, la rédemption, puisque l’incarnation est une recréation, dont il faut que chacun soit conscient au fil de sa vie et en fasse témoignage et action permanente. Il ne sollicita pas l’entrée à l’Académie des Sciences morales et politiques. On lui demanda d’être candidat. C’était en 1994, et le grand-rabbin Kaplan venait de mourir. Disons que l’Académie des Sciences morales et politiques manquait d’énergie spirituelle.

    The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend WELCOMES BISHOP KEVIN C. RHOADES 2 WELCOME BISHOP RHOADES JANUARY 10, 2010 Welcome to the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend and to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. May you be blessed in your Episcopal Ministry here. Msgr. Robert c. Schulte, the staff and the people of the Cathedral Parish The priests and people of SAINT MATTHEW CO-CATHEDRAL in South Bend joyfully welcome our new shepherd Bishop Kevin Rhoades You have undertaken the work of the episcopate, and taking your place at the helm of the Church, you guide the ship against the waves. Hold fast to the rudder of faith, so that the violent storms of this age cannot sink you. The sea is indeed deep and vast, but fear not, “for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters” (Ps24.2). For it is with good reason that the Lord’s Church remains unmoved amid so many tempests of this world, built as it is upon the rock of the apostles, and she perseveres against the onslaught of the rushing waters by a foundation that is unshaken. She is dashed by the waves, but not destroyed by them, and while elements belonging to this world crash loudly against her, nevertheless she lays claim to the harbor of salvation, that most safe port where she receives those who are hard-pressed in her service.

  • History of St Matthew Cathedral Parish
    THE HISTORY OF ST. MATTHEW’S CATHEDRAL WITHIN THE DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE-SOUTH BEND By Bob Garrow December 1, 2013 2 The History of St. Matthew’s Cathedral The city of South Bend is part of the current Diocese of Fort Wayne – South Bend. At the founding of the diocese it was originally titled the Diocese of Fort Wayne. The city of South Bend is located in St. Joseph County in the north central part of Indiana. “The county was organized on January 29, 1830 becoming legally independent on April 1, 1830.”1 The county is named after the St. Joseph River which runs through the county. The St. Joseph River is named after Joseph the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus. By September 7, 1831, South Bend was chosen as the seat for the county’s government; it is comprised of 13 townships. During this time period Rev. Stephen Badin, the first priest ordained in the United States, built a log chapel on property now belonging to the University of Notre Dame. “But as far back as 1824, the Pottawattamie Indians were visited by the Rev. Claude Allouez, S.J. Even at that time a small chapel was erected on the border of St. Mary’s Lake. Father Badin continued to visit here (there) until 1832,”2 then another missionary priest were assigned. Then in November of 1842, the Congregation of Holy Cross (C.S.C.) helped the Catholics of the area meet their spiritual needs. The original log chapel built by Father Badin was the first (semi-public oratory) in the diocese.
