A couple of things that got my attention this past week… First, was the news coverage of the German experimental filmmaker, Wim Wenders, who is a lapsed Catholic at that, who was chosen the Vatican to produce a powerful Documentary - titled Pope Francis -- A Man of his Word. 60 Minutes did an extensive interview with him two weeks ago. The movie was released a week ago and gives a very interesting, unscripted view of Pope Francis. If you haven’t see the interview, I would recommend it. Catholic News Service described: Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, As well- crafted, sometimes moving documentary in which the pontiff largely speaks for himself, touching on a wide variety of topics of interest to believers and nonbelievers alike and setting out his vision for the future of the church. My wife and I hope to see it this weekend. Secondly, was Pope Francis’ announcement of the appointment of 14 new Cardinals. The College of Cardinals members who are under age 80 will elect the new pope. He added 11 elector Cardinals. He appointed Cardinals from Poland, Portugal, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, Japan, Peru, Spain and Italy. There is a great article on the Catholic Website, https://cruxnow.com/global- church/2018/05/22/with-new-cardinals-pope-speaks-about-the-church-and- himself/ Most of them have a very modest background. One is Bishop Toribio 2018 Catholic Porco Ticona from Bolivia, who went from being a shoe shiner and mine worker Ministries Appeal to becoming a “Prince of the Church.” Some of them come from where Catholics are a minority. The Parish Goal for SJW this year is $32,090.00 and the Parish Goal for HF is Another one, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, a polish priest, once an assistant $9,860.00. Thank you to those who have at liturgies for both St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, became Pope already donated! If you have not done so Francis’s eyes, ears and hands for identifying the needs of Rome’s poor and yet, please consider making a gift. More offering them direct assistance. As papal almoner since 2013, the Polish information can be found at Catholic cardinal-designate distributes charitable aid from the pope, but he has taken the Foundation of Southern Minnesota job to a whole new level, getting a dormitory, showers, a barbershop and www.catholicfsmn.org/Appeal laundromat set up near the Vatican for the homeless. He has also organized special private tours for the poor and homeless to the Vatican Gardens, the St. Joe’s Holy Family Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Pope Francis told him to sell his desk when he was hired, since his job was to go out and look for those in need. 65 donors 18 donors However, the cardinal-designate also gave up the apartment where he was living so Syrian refugee families could live there. Amount Pledged: Amount Pledged: $17,279 $6,223 As Pope Francis said in 2014, “Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.” He is a man of 53.85% 63.11% his word.
