  • Mexican Cardinal Sergio Obeso Rivera Dead at Age 87
    Mexican Cardinal Sergio Obeso Rivera dead at age 87 VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Cardinal Sergio Obeso Rivera, retired archbishop of Xalapa, Mexico who was created a cardinal by Pope Francis a little over a year ago, died at the age of 87. According to Vatican News, Cardinal Obeso died Aug. 11 in Xalapa. In 1931, he was born into a prominent family, which founded and operates one of Mexico’s main supermarket chains. Despite his upbringing, colleagues described the cardinal as austere and unassuming. He entered the seminary in 1944, studied philosophy and theology in Rome and was ordained a priest there in 1954. After his ordination, then-Father Obeso held various positions at the seminary in Xalapa and eventually was appointed rector. He was appointed bishop of Papantla in 1971 but returned to Xalapa, the Veracruz state capital, in 1974 as coadjutor archbishop. He became archbishop in 1979. Among his accomplishments before retiring in 2007, then- Archbishop Obeso led the Mexican bishops’ conference for nine years and worked closely on ending the official estrangement between Mexico and the Vatican. In May 2018, Pope Francis announced that the retired archbishop would be among the 14 prelates created as cardinal. Cardinal Obeso and two other prelates over the age of 80 were chosen for having “distinguished themselves for their service to the church,” the pope said. Church observers said Cardinal Obeso’s inclusion into the College of Cardinals was an overdue recognition for the prelate, whose pastoral approach and personal austerity were seen as similar to those of Pope Francis. After the announcement of his elevation, the Mexican bishops’ conference praised Cardinal Obeso as a “simple and austere man, extremely helpful and attentive to the social realities of Mexico.” While in Xalapa, he promoted the canonization of St.

Results from the nationwide referendum showed that 66.4 percent of citizens opted to remove the Eighth Amendment Bishop Brendan from the constitution, Leahy while 33.6 percent voted to retain it. Turnout was 64.5 percent. Voters inserted the original amendment in the constitution in 1983 by a margin of 2-1. The amendment “acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.” That text will now be deleted and replaced with an article stating that The 10 children of Jim and Ann Selby of St. Monica Parish in Indianapolis have been in Catholic schools across a span of 37 straight years—a span “provision may be made by law for the that will end on June 1 when their youngest child Jacob will graduate from Cardinal Ritter Jr./Sr. High School in Indianapolis.
