. JESUS CAME TO LIBERATE HUMAN BEINGS IN THEIR ENTIRETY
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 1 July 2012 (VIS) - The miraculous cures of the daughter of Jairus
and of the woman who suffered haemorrhages provided the theme for the Pope's
remarks before praying the Angelus today.

Addressing the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square, Benedict XVI explained
that both episodes can be interpreted at two levels: "the purely physical: Jesus
tends to human suffering and heals the body; and the spiritual: Jesus came to
heal the human heart and to give salvation, and He asks people to have faith in
Him". The two episodes again show that Jesus "came to liberate human beings in
their entirety", he said. "First is the physical healing, but this is closely
tied to a deeper healing, which bestows the grace of God upon those who are open
to Him in faith".

All this, the Holy Father went on, invites us "to overcome a purely horizontal
and materialistic view of life. We ask God to cure us of our problems, to meet
our concrete needs - and it is right that we should do so. Yet we must
insistently ask for an ever stronger faith, that the Lord may renew our lives,
and a firm trust in His love, in His providence which does not abandon us".

"Jesus' concern for human suffering makes us think of all those who help the
sick to carry their crosses, in particular physicians, healthcare professionals
and those who provide pastoral care in nursing homes. They are the 'reserves of
love' who bring peace and hope to the suffering. In the Encyclical 'Deus Caritas
est' I noted that, while such invaluable service requires professional
competence as a primary and fundamental requirement, this in itself is not
enough". The sick need "need humanity and heartfelt care".

"Let us call upon the Virgin Mary to accompany our journey of faith and our
commitment to concrete expressions of love, especially to those in need, as we
invoke her maternal intercession for our brothers who live with suffering in
body or spirit".

After the Angelus prayer, Benedict XVI expressed the hope that "the holidays may
be a time to strengthen our faith through prayer and charity".

. METROPOLITAN ARCHBISHOPS, VISIBLE EXPRESSION OF THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE CHURCH
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - At midday today the Holy Father received the metropolitan
archbishops upon whom he yesterday imposed the pallium in the course of a Mass
in the Vatican Basilica. The archbishops were accompanied by members of their
families.

"The presence of metropolitan archbishops from all over the world is a visible
expression of the universality of the Church, called to make Christ known and to
announce the Gospel on all the continents and in different languages", said the
Pope in his remarks to the group. "I assure you of my constant prayers that you
may carry out your episcopal mission with joy and fidelity, building your
diocesan communities in charity, supporting them with the witness of faith and
helping them to express a rewed enthusiasm at meeting the person of Christ. ...
Carry back to your communities the experience of intense spirituality and
authentic evangelical unity of these days, that it may touch the hearts of
believers and reverberate throughout society, leaving traces of good", the Holy
Father concluded.

. ONLY FOLLOWING JESUS LEADS TO THE NEW BROTHERHOOD
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 29 June 2012 (VIS) - At 9 a.m. today, Solemnity of Sts. Peter and
Paul, Apostles, Benedict XVI concelebrated the Eucharist in the Vatican Basilica
with new metropolitan archbishops, upon whom he imposed the pallium. As is
customary, a delegation from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople also
attended the ceremony. The music for the liturgy was provided by the Choir of
the Sistine Chapel, as well as by members of the Choir of Westminster Abbey whom
the Pope thanked for their participation.

Following the Gospel reading the Pope pronounced his homily, extracts of which
are given below:

"Christian tradition has always considered St. Peter and St. Paul to be
inseparable: indeed, together, they represent the whole Gospel of Christ. ...
Peter and Paul, much as they differ from one another in human terms and
notwithstanding the conflicts that arose in their relationship, illustrate a new
way of being brothers, lived according to the Gospel, an authentic way made
possible by the grace of Christ’s Gospel working within them. Only by following
Jesus does one arrive at this new brotherhood: this is the first and fundamental
message that today’s solemnity presents to each one of us, the importance of
which is mirrored in the pursuit of full communion, so earnestly desired by the
Ecumenical Patriarch and the Bishop of Rome, as indeed by all Christians.

"In the passage from St. Matthew’s Gospel that we have just heard, Peter makes
his own confession of faith in Jesus, acknowledging Him as Messiah and Son of
God. He does so in the name of the other Apostles too. In reply, the Lord
reveals to him the mission that He intends to assign to him, that of being the
“rock”, the visible foundation on which the entire spiritual edifice of the
Church is built. But in what sense is Peter the rock? How is he to exercise this
prerogative, which naturally he did not receive for his own sake? The account
given by the Evangelist Matthew tells us first of all that the acknowledgement
of Jesus’ identity made by Simon in the name of the Twelve did not come “through
flesh and blood”, that is, through his human capacities, but through a
particular revelation from God the Father. By contrast, immediately afterwards,
as Jesus foretells His passion, death and resurrection, Simon Peter reacts on
the basis of “flesh and blood”: he “began to rebuke him, saying, this shall
never happen to you”. And Jesus in turn replied: “Get behind me, Satan! You are
a hindrance to me”. The disciple who, through God’s gift, was able to become a
solid rock, here shows himself for what he is in his human weakness: a stone
along the path, a stone on which men can stumble".

"Here we see the tension that exists between the gift that comes from the Lord
and human capacities; and in this scene between Jesus and Simon Peter we see
anticipated in some sense the drama of the history of the papacy itself,
characterised by the joint presence of these two elements: on the one hand,
because of the light and the strength that come from on high, the papacy
constitutes the foundation of the Church during its pilgrimage through history;
on the other hand, across the centuries, human weakness is also evident, which
can only be transformed through openness to God’s action.

"And in today’s Gospel there emerges powerfully the clear promise made by Jesus:
“the gates of the underworld”, that is, the forces of evil, will not prevail.
... Peter will have to be defended from the “gates of the underworld”, from the
destructive power of evil. Jeremiah receives a promise that affects him as a
person and his prophetic ministry; Peter receives assurances concerning the
future of the Church, the new community founded by Jesus Christ, which extends
to all of history, far beyond the personal existence of Peter himself.

"Let us move on now to the symbol of the keys, which we heard about in the
Gospel. ... The key represents authority over the house of David. And in the
Gospel there is another saying of Jesus addressed to the scribes and the
Pharisees, whom the Lord reproaches for shutting off the kingdom of heaven from
people. This saying also helps us to understand the promise made to Peter: to
him, inasmuch as he is the faithful steward of Christ’s message, it belongs to
open the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven, and to judge whether to admit or to
refuse. Hence the two images - that of the keys and that of binding and loosing
- express similar meanings which reinforce one another. ... The parallelism “on
earth ... in the heavens” guarantees that Peter’s decisions in the exercise of
this ecclesial function are valid in the eyes of God".

"The authority of loosing and binding consists in the power to remit sins. And
this grace, which defuses the powers of chaos and evil, is at the heart of the
Church’s mystery and ministry. The Church is not a community of the perfect, but
a community of sinners, obliged to recognise their need for God’s love, their
need to be purified through the Cross of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ sayings concerning
the authority of Peter and the Apostles make it clear that God’s power is love,
the love that shines forth from Calvary".

"The iconographic tradition represents St. Paul with a sword, and we know that
this was the instrument with which he was killed. Yet as we read the writings of
the Apostle of the Gentiles, we discover that the image of the sword refers to
his entire mission of evangelisation. ... This was certainly not the battle of a
military commander but that of a herald of the Word of God, faithful to Christ
and to His Church, to which he gave himself completely. And that is why the Lord
gave him the crown of glory and placed him, together with Peter, as a pillar in
the spiritual edifice of the Church.

"Dear Metropolitan Archbishops, the pallium that I have conferred on you will
always remind you that you have been constituted in and for the great mystery of
communion that is the Church, the spiritual edifice built upon Christ as the
cornerstone, while in its earthly and historical dimension, it is built on the
rock of Peter. Inspired by this conviction, we know that together we are all
cooperators of the truth, which as we know is one and “symphonic”, and requires
from each of us and from our communities a constant commitment to conversion to
the one Lord in the grace of the one Spirit".

.  STS. PETER AND PAUL ACCOMPANY BELIEVERS ALONG THE PATH OF FAITHFULNESS TO
CHRIST
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - At the end of this morning's Mass concelebrated with
forty-three metropolitan archbishops upon whom he imposed the pallium, the Holy
Father appeared at the window of his study to pray the Angelus with faithful
gathered below in St. Peter's Square.

"The signs of the lives and glorious deaths of the humble fisherman of Galilee
and the Apostle of the Gentiles are inscribed into the very history of Rome,
which has rightly chosen them as her protectors", the Pope said. "Treasuring the
memory of their shining witness, we recall the venerable beginnings of the
Church which in Rome believes, prays and announces Christ the Redeemer. Yet Sts.
Peter and Paul blaze not only in the skies of Rome, but also in the hearts of
believers all over the world who, illuminated by their teaching and example,
walk the paths of faith hope and charity".

Benedict XVI continued: "On this journey of salvation the Christian community,
strong and serene in the presence of the living spirit of God, feels impelled to
continue along the path of faithfulness to Christ and announcement of His Gospel
to men and women of all times. Part of this fruitful spiritual and missionary
journey is the consigning of the palliums to metropolitan archbishops, which I
performed this morning in the basilica; an eloquent rite which highlights the
intimate communion of pastors with Peter's Successor and the profound ties which
bind us to apostolic tradition. It is, in fact, a dual treasure of sanctity in
which the unity and catholicity of the Church come together: a precious treasure
to be rediscovered and experienced with renewed enthusiasm and constant
commitment".

Vatican City, 4 July 2012 (VIS) - Given below is the text of a letter written by
the Holy Father to Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, and dated 2
July.

"On the eve of my departure to spend the summer months at Castelgandolfo, I wish
to express my profound appreciation for your discreet presence and wise counsel,
which I have found particularly helpful over recent months.

"Having noted with sorrow the unjust criticisms that have been directed against
your person, I wish to reiterate the expression of my personal confidence, which
I already declared to you in a letter on 15 January 2010, the contents of which
remain unchanged as far as I am concerned.

"In entrusting your ministry to the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, Help of Christians, and to that of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, it is
my pleasure to send you a fraternal greeting, accompanied by an apostolic
blessing as a sign of all desired goodness".

. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------


Today's two readings reveal that God's ways are not like man's ways.

The priest Amaziah rebuked the prophet Amos because he did not like his prophecy
which was politically incorrect for the tastes at court. In this rebuke Amaziah
made the ludicrous claim that Amos could not prophecy there because it was not
his jurisdiction. Amaziah is the classic portrait of those who wish to tell God
what to do. In their minds and hearts God has no authority to violate their
rules and traditions.

We see this same behavior in today's Gospel. The Scribes acted exactly like
Amaziah rebuking Jesus that He had no authority to forgive sins, a realm that
belongs exclusively to God. In their minds Jesus was blaspheming just as Amaziah
perceived Amos doing the same.

Amos rebuked Amaziah informing him that God had chosen him to prophesy without
boundaries. And, as a sign of his authority as a prophet of God Amos revealed
God's curse on Amaziah that his wife, children and country would all fall into
ruin and that he would die in exile.

Likewise, Jesus rebuked the Scribes demonstrating instantly that He did have
authority while simultaneously revealing that He is God-Man. By turning to the
paralytic commanding him to pick up his stretcher and go home, Jesus left the
Scribes dumbfounded.

Amaziah and the Scribes were both dumbfounded since God did not behave they way
they wanted Him to. Each, his own way was restricting God by some rule or
convention because they did not like what they heard or saw.

Amos was open to God's wish. Amos wanted to be a shepherd and a dresser of
sycamores, but God had other plans. Amos humbly submitted to God. Whereas,
Amaziah, submitted only to human authority and human respect, not that of God.

Likewise, the crowd had great faith in Jesus, humbly submitting to Him, begging
Him for help on behalf of the paralytic whom they brought. Whereas, the Scribes
submitted only to human authority, tradition, protocols and human respect, not
that of God.

God chooses his prophets to reveal His Word. The divine Word of God has the
power to forgive sins and heal the human body and mind. Jesus Christ has supreme
authority over everything and wishes to save, heal, nourish and develop into
fruitfulness everyone who calls upon Him with a sincere and humble heart.

God's ways are not like man's ways, since He alone is the Savior of the world.

God has chosen Benedict XVI as His vicar on earth. Listen to him. Do not imitate
the priest Amaziah and the Scribes, but humbly submit to God's salvific plans
for you, His Church and the world.

Pray the Rosary of Our Lady every day and always pray for the Holy Father and
the Roman Curia, all the priests and bishops, deacons and religious everywhere.

. HOLY SEE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Council of Cardinals for the Study of the
Organisational and Economic Problems of the Holy See met in the Vatican on
Tuesday 3 July and Wednesday 4 July, under the presidency of Cardinal Secretary
of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B.

Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi, president of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs
of the Holy See, presented the consolidated financial statements of the Holy See
for 2011, then those of the Governorate of Vatican City State.

The consolidated financial statements of the Holy See for 2011 closed with a
deficit of EUR 14,890,034. The most significant items of expenditure were those
relative to personnel (who as of 31 December 2011 numbered 2,832) and to the
communications media considered as a whole. The result was affected by the
negative trend of global financial markets, which made it impossible to achieve
the goals laid down in the budget.

The administration of the Governorate is autonomous, and independent of
contributions from the Holy See. Through its various offices, it supervises
requirements related to the administration of the State. The consolidated
financial statements for 2011 closed with a surplus of EUR 21,843,851. As of 31
December 2011, the Governorate employed a staff of 1,887. A particularly
significant contribution to the result came from the Vatican Museums, which
produced a revenue that passed from EUR 82,400,000 in 2010 to EUR 91,300.000,
for a total of more than five million visitors. According to specialised
rankings, these figures place the Vatican Museums among the most prestigious and
important such institutions in the world.

Peter's Pence - i.e., donations made by the faithful to support the Holy
Father's charity - rose from USD 67,704,416.41 in 2010 to USD 69,711,722.76.
Contributions made pursuant to canon 1271 of the Code of Canon Law - i.e., the
economic support offered by ecclesiastical circumscriptions throughout the world
to maintain the service the Roman Curia offers the universal Church - rose from
USD 27,362,258.40 in 2010 to USD 32,128,675.91. Further contributions to the
Holy See made by institutes of consecrated life, societies of apostolic life and
foundations rose from USD 747,596.09 in 2010 to USD 1,194,217.78. Thus the
overall increase with respect to 2010 was of 7.54 per cent.

As it does every year, the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR) offered the
Holy Father a significant sum to support his apostolic and charitable ministry.
The amount involved for the financial year 2011 was EUR 49,000,000.

During the meeting, according to a communique made public today, "the cardinals
present made numerous comments in which they made clear their appreciation at
the completeness and transparency of the information they had been given.
Recognition was expressed for the commitment to the ongoing improvement of the
administration of the goods and resources of the Holy See, and a call was made
for prudence and limiting costs, though while maintaining jobs. Unanimous
pleasure was declared at the generous support of the faithful and of
ecclesiastical institutions, even more praiseworthy given the persistent
economic crisis. The members of the Council also expressed their profound
gratitude at the support the faithful give, often anonymously, to the universal
ministry of the Holy Father, and exhorted them to continue this good work.

"Finally, under the terms of article 25 (2) of the Apostolic Constitution
'Pastor bonus', Paolo Cipriani, director of the IOR, outlined the economic
position of the institution he directs. This was followed by a debate during
which the members of the Council were provided with the necessary
clarifications".

. COMMUNIQUE ON THE PLENARY MEETING OF MONEYVAL
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy See Press Office yesterday released the
following English-language communique:

"From 2 to 6 July, the plenary meeting of MONEYVAL (the Council of Europe’s
department responsible for the evaluation of member States with respect to
anti-money laundering systems) is taking place in Strasbourg. The Holy See is
taking part in this meeting with a delegation led by Msgr. Ettore Balestrero,
under secretary for Relations with States.

"The report relating to the Holy See and to Vatican City State was adopted
today. According to usual MONEYVAL procedure, in the near future an amended
version of the report, based upon today’s plenary session, will be forwarded to
the Holy See for possible further comment to be submitted within one month. The
report is expected to be published on the MONEYVAL website".

. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy Father appointed Fr. Jaime Calderon Calderon,
rector of the major seminary of the diocese of Zamora, Mexico, as auxiliary of
the same diocese (area 12,000, population 1,642,000, Catholics 1,477,000,
priests 345, religious 858). The bishop-elect was born in Churintzio, Mexico in
1966 and ordained a priest in 1991. He studied in Mexico and Rome and, among
other roles, is a judge of the ecclesiastical tribunal of Zamora and president
of the Organisation of Mexican Seminaries (OSMEX).

---------------------------------------------------------------
. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------

Today's reading from the Book of the Prophet Amos reveals the prophecy of the
betrayal, crucifixion and destruction of Jerusalem.

The betrayal of Jesus bu Judas for thirty pieces of silver was predicted by Amos
in this reading when he says : "We will buy the lowly man for silver, On that
day, says the Lord GOD,
I will make the sun set at midday and cover the earth with darkness in broad
daylight. This same account is given by Matthew 27:33-54 ""Now from the sixth
hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth
hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’
that is, ‘My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?’"

Amos continues "I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into
lamentations.
I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth and make every head bald. I will
make them mourn as for an only son, and bring their day to a bitter end." This
became a reality when Rome conquered Jerusalem in the great war that ensued
after the Jewish revolt in AD 66. By AD 70 Vespasian and Titus had destroyed the
city and the Temple at Jerusalem and took everyone that survived as slaves into
Rome.

Finally, Amos said "Yes, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, when I will send
famine upon the land: Not a famine of bread, or thirst for water, but for
hearing the word of the LORD.
Then shall they wander from sea to sea and rove from the north to the east In
search of the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it."

This, of course, not only paints a portrait of the devastated Temple at
Jerusalem but those also throughout Israel. We know that years after AD 70 the
Jewish teachers began a new school to collect Jewish writings around the city of
Jamnia. But, the greater body of the Jews were now scattered into the great
diaspora in many countries. And, the Word of the Lord is not merely the Sacred
Scriptures but the divine eternal Word Himself, Jesus Christ, whom they have not
found through acceptance in faith, but rather, stubborn in their hardened hearts
rejecting and rebuking Him in their minds, hearts, prayers and texts.

The sad end note that Amos gave in this drastic prophecy leaves the Jewish
people disconnected from the right path, the sacred course to the Messiah where
they continue generation after generation to imitate the wayward Jews in the
desert making golden calves, disobeying Moses and the Torah, and listening to
every fabrication. Perhaps, the plight of the Jews has been summed up very well
by the Coen brothers in 2009 in their satire, A Serious Man, a film that shows
the hollow ring to Judaism in the 21st century.

But, God has not abandoned the Jews since His covenant is sacred and true. He
promised to send Elijah before the Day of the Lord to bring back the Jews to the
straight and narrow path. Yes, we know that the Elijah of the New Testament was
embodied in the person of St. John the Baptizer. We also know that God will send
again a prophet to Israel to draw them out and bring them back home. The Greek
word for this is metanoia. This word is frequently translated as "repentance".
For, the Greek word metanoia, literally means to be called back home, and the
more philosophical meaning is to be repentant.

The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church always has Moses and Elijah, the two
lamp stands and witnesses to prophecy to the Jews and the whole world. Moses, is
obviously our Holy Father, the Pope. Elijah, is most probably a bishop or
Cardinal , a member of the Roman Curia. Together these two are empowered by God
with the spiritual gift and divine power to turn back the children of Israel to
know and believe in Jesus as the promised Messiah.

As we approach the mid point of the second decade of the third millennium,
perhaps, this special charism of the Church, which has heretofore remained
dormant shall emerge and bring about the return of Israel into the one fold, as
St. Paul had predicted. The hour, and day we do not know. Yet, we have perfect
hope and confidence that the power of Christ shall shine forth triumphant and
restore the house of Israel before He comes again to bring His just society to
earth and reign for ever.

"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." (Matthew 9:13)

. POPE TO VISIT THE HOUSE OF THE VERBITES IN NEMI
---------------------------------------------------------------


Vatican City,  (VIS) - On Monday 9 July, the Holy Father will make a visit to
the House of the Verbites in Nemi, a village near Castelgandolfo, according to a
communique issued today by the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household.

It was at the House of the Verbites - which since January 2010 has been known as
the "Ad Gentes Centre" - that the Vatican Council II Commission on Missions met
to prepare the draft of the Conciliar Decree on the Mission Activity of the
Church. The theologian and professor Joseph Ratzinger participated in the
session held there from 29 March to 3 April 1965 as an expert of the conciliar
assembly. Hence the reason for his private visit, which he is making at the
invitation of the Missionaries of the Divine Word.

Benedict XVI will depart from Castelgandolfo by car at 11.30 a.m., arriving at
Nemi a quarter of an hour later. He will be welcomed in the House of the
Verbites by Fr. Heinz Kuluke, superior general elect; Fr. Antonio Pernia
superior general, and Fr. Giancarlo Girardi, procurator general. The Holy Father
will then move on the chapel to meet with the 150 participants in the general
chapter of the order and the community of the Mother House in Rome. Having
adored the Blessed Sacrament, and listened to a welcome address from Fr. Pernia,
the Pope will make some brief remarks and impart his apostolic blessing.

---------------------------------------------------------------
. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------

Today's two readings speak of Justice and Prudence, two of the four Cardinal
Virtues.

Amos is speaking about the Kingdom of God, which is the Kingdom of Justice. The
portrait he gives us of the future world is that when Jesus Christ returns to
earth and establishes His kingdom here for ever. It is at that time that the
world will be plentiful, abundant and truth, honor and justice shall reign
everywhere.

This same prophetic image is captured in today's Psalm :

Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.

The Gospel of Matthew speaks about Prudence. Jesus makes it clear with parables
that doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time is the appropriate
course of action. He gives us three illustrations that make the point pellucid.
First he gives the analogy of the Bridegroom at a wedding, guests do not mourn,
but rather rejoice and feast at the banquet.Second, the analogy of the
unshrunken patch on an old garment. When it is washed the fresh fabric of the
patch will shrink and pull and tear away from where it was sewn making the
garment worsened with new tears. Third, pouring fresh wine into old wineskins
causes both to be lost. This saying is a bit obscured through time since it
involves knowledge of how wine was fermented in antiquity placing it in
goatskins. As the fresh wine ferments carbon dioxide gas is produced in the
fermentation process stretching the membrane to its limit. It cannot endure
going through this process a second time, the skin with burst and both it and
the new wine are lost.

It is through prudence that we must help Christ establish His kingdom of
Justice. Our work is merely to prepare ourselves, our world for Him to come.
Only Christ can bring about authentic Justice, and a Justice that is authentic
endures for ever. We are called, therefore, to do good, work justly, and be
prudent in all our undertakings so that the Son of Justice shines on us and in
us and through us.

Pray the Rosary of Our Lady to be prudent and just in all things so that our
minds and hearts are always just and prudent. Pray also for our Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XVI. He is our great shepherd who emulates both prudence and
justice and every virtue tempered with patience, kindness and mercy.

. THE VERBITES "AD GENTES" CENTRE WELCOMES THE POPE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Benedict XVI this morning made a private visit to the "Ad
Gentes Centre" of the Missionaries of the Divine Word, located in the village of
Nemi. It was in that building, then called the International Centre of the
Society of the Divine Word, that the Vatican Council II Commission on Missions
met from 29 March to 3 April 1965. Among the participants was a young theologian
and expert of the conciliar assembly, Joseph Ratzinger.

The Holy Father left Castelgandolfo by car at 11.30 a.m. and was welcomed on his
arrival at Nemi by Fr. Heinz Kuluke, superior general elect; Fr. Antonio Pernia
superior general, and Fr. Giancarlo Girardi, procurator general. The Holy Father
then moved on to the chapel to meet with the 150 participants in the general
chapter of the order and the community of the Mother House in Rome. After
adoring the Blessed Sacrament, and listening to a welcome address from Fr.
Pernia, the Pope made some brief remarks.

Having completed his visit, Benedict XVI returned to the Apostolic Palace.

---------------------------------------------------------------
. MIRACLES ARE NOT A SHOW OF POWER BUT SIGNS OF GOD'S LOVE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 8 July 2012 (VIS) - At midday today, his first Sunday at
Castelgandolfo, the Pope emerged onto the balcony overlooking the inner
courtyard of the Apostolic Palace to pray the Angelus with faithful gathered
below. He remarked on today's reading from St. Mark's Gospel concerning the
refusal of the people of Nazareth to recognise the divinity of Jesus, and the
scandal provoked by the fact that "the carpenter, the son of Mary" who had lived
among them, should preach like a prophet.

In this context, the Holy Father mentioned the phrase "Nemo propheta in patria",
meaning no one is a prophet in his own land. This, he said, "is understandable
because their human familiarity made it hard for them to go further and open
themselves to the divine dimension. It was difficult for them to believe that
this son of a carpenter was the Son of God", while Jesus Himself drew on the
example of the prophets of Israel who were likewise disdained. Because of this
spiritual closure in Nazareth, "Jesus 'could do no deeds of power there, except
that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them'. Indeed, the
miracles of Christ were not a show of power, but signs of God's love, which is
realised wherever it finds reciprocity in the faith of man".

"The astonishment and scandal of His fellow citizens was met with amazement on
the part of Jesus. In a certain sense, He too was scandalised. Although He knew
that no prophet is accepted in his own land, yet His own people's closure of
heart was something obscure and impenetrable to Him. How was it possible that
they did not recognise the light of Truth? Why did they not open to the goodness
of God Who chose to share our humanity?. The man Jesus of Nazareth is the
transparency of God, God dwells in Him fully and, while we always seek other
signs, other prodigies, we do not realise that the true sign is Him, God made
flesh. He is the greatest miracle of the universe: all the love of God contained
in a human heart and a human face".

After praying the Angelus the Pope greeted French-speaking pilgrims saying:
"During the summer do not take a vacation from God; pray and go to Sunday Mass".

He then addressed some words to Polish faithful, particularly participants in a
pilgrimage organised by the Family of Radio Maria to the shrine of Jasna Gora
where they are praying "for the homeland, families and freedom of expression".
He also greeted members of the "Work of the New Millennium" Association who are
meeting in Lublin with followers of other religions and who this evening will
gather to pray for peace in the former concentration camp of Majdanek. "I
participate spiritually in these initiatives", the Pope said, "and implore
goodness and peace for the world, for Poland and for each one of you".



* * *


---------------------------------------------------------------
. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy Father:

- Accepted the resignation from the pastoral care of Ischia, Italy, presented by
Bishop Filippo Strofaldi, in accordance with canon 401 para. 2 of the Code of
Canon Law.

- Appointed Msgr. Sebastian Francis, vicar general of the diocese of
Melaka-Johor, Malaysia, as bishop of Penang (area 46,855, population 6,500,000,
Catholics 66,000, priests 46, religious 97), Malaysia. The bishop-elect was born
in Johor Bahru, Malaysia in 1951 and ordained a priest in 1977. He studied in
Rome and has been active in pastoral care and in education. He succeeds Bishop
Antony Selvanayagam, whose resignation from the pastoral care of the same
diocese the Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.

- Appointed Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, as
pontifical legate to the consecration of the cathedral of the diocese of
Karaganda, Kazakhstan, due to take place on 9 September.



* * *


---------------------------------------------------------------
. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------

Today's two readings speak to us about the great gift of faith.

The Prophet Hosea reveals that Israel shall be brought like a woman into the
desert and learn to humbly be submissive to God. The imagery is nothing more
than that of symbol. But we hear this symbol of the wilderness or desert
resurface when John the Baptizer identified himself as the "Voice of one crying
out in the wilderness". The call of Israel to repent and prepare themselves to
receive the Lord, was the baptism of repentance John offered so that the Jews
would be prepared to receive Jesus and listen to him.

The great conversion of Israel to have faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the
promised Savior of the world, was only partially fulfilled two thousand years
ago. We await anxiously the full conversion of Israel when all Jews accept Jesus
as the Messiah and worship the God-Man who sacrificed Himself on the Cross to
save us.

In the Gospel of St, Matthew we see the official come to Jesus with great faith,
faith that he could raise his daughter from the dead. That is remarkable. At the
same time a woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and
touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, "If only I can touch his
cloak, I shall be cured."

These two example of great faith bear witness that we must stir into flame our
faith in Jesus Christ. We sometimes get distracted and depend too much on our
own capabilities, our own strength, our own knowledge. It is then that we need
to take a break and stop and reflect that it is only on God's strength that we
have every single good gift and we really depend on Him.  Faith in God stirs
into flame our love of God and love of neighbor.

Take a break sometime today and every day or week by taking time to reflect on
our need of reliance on God as our adorable father and our need to love Him and
speak to Him deeply pouring out our minds and hearts to Him. Renew yourselves by
renewing and rekindling your faith and love of God.

Pray for Pope Benedict XVI to continue to spread faith and love of God
throughout the world and set ablaze Israel with love of her Messiah, so that she
turns to Him and says to our beloved God, "My husband."

. TELEGRAM FOR THE DEATH OF CARDINAL EUGENIO DE ARAUJO SALES
---------------------------------------------------------------





Vatican City, 10 July 2012 (VIS) - The Holy Father has sent a telegram of
condolence to Archbishop Orani Joao Tempesta, O. Cist., of Sao Sebastiao do Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, on the death of Cardinal Eugenio Araujo Sales, archbishop
emeritus of the same archdiocese. Cardinal Araujo Sales, who had a "long life
dedicated to the Church in Brazil", died late last night at the age of 91.

In the text of his telegram Benedict XVI recalls the cardinal's three decades as
archbishop of Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro and his almost seventy years of
priesthood, which were distinguished for "showing to all the path of truth in
charity and service".

. COMMUNIQUE ON EPISCOPAL ORDINATIONS IN CHINA
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 10 July 2012 (VIS) - Following is the communique released this
morning on the episcopal ordination of the Reverend Joseph Yue Fusheng in Harbin
and the Reverend Thaddeus Ma Daqin as Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of
Shanghai.

"With regard to the episcopal ordination of the Reverend Joseph Yue Fusheng,
which took place in Harbin (Province of Heilongjiang) on Friday 6 July 2012, the
following is stated:

1) The Reverend Joseph Yue Fusheng, ordained without pontifical mandate and
hence illicitly, has automatically incurred the sanctions laid down by canon
1382 of the Code of Canon Law. Consequently, the Holy See does not recognize him
as Bishop of the Apostolic Administration of Harbin, and he lacks the authority
to govern the priests and the Catholic community in the Province of
Heilongjiang.

The Reverend Yue Fusheng had been informed some time ago that he could not be
approved by the Holy See as an episcopal candidate, and on several occasions he
had been asked not to accept episcopal ordination without the pontifical
mandate.

2) The Bishops who took part in the illicit episcopal ordination and have
exposed themselves to the sanctions laid down by the law of the Church, must
give an account to the Holy See of their participation in that religious
ceremony.

3) Appreciation is due to those priests, consecrated persons and lay faithful
who prayed and fasted for a change of heart in the Reverend Yue Fusheng, for the
holiness of the Bishops and for the unity of the Church in China, particularly
in the Apostolic Administration of Harbin.

4) All Catholics in China, pastors, priests, consecrated persons, and lay
faithful, are called to defend and safeguard that which pertains to the doctrine
and tradition of the Church. Even amid the present difficulties, they look to
the future with faith, comforted by the certainty that the Church is founded on
the rock of Peter and his Successors.

5) The Apostolic See, trusting in the concrete willingness of the Government
Authorities of China to dialogue with the Holy See, hopes that the said
authorities will not encourage gestures contrary to such dialogue. Chinese
Catholics also wish to see practical steps taken in this direction, the first
among which is the avoidance of illicit celebrations and episcopal ordinations
without pontifical mandate that cause division and bring suffering to the
Catholic communities in China and the universal Church.

The ordination of the Reverend Thaddeus Ma Daqin as Auxiliary Bishop of the
Diocese of Shanghai on Saturday 7 July 2012 is encouraging and is to be
welcomed. The presence of a bishop who is not in communion with the Holy Father
was inappropriate and shows a lack of consideration for a lawful episcopal
ordination".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. POPE RECALLS TIME AS CONCILIAR EXPERT IN NEMI
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 10 July 2012 (VIS) - "A wonderful memory, perhaps my fondest
memory of the entire council." With these words yesterday, the Holy Father
recalled his time at the center of the Divine Word Missionaries in Nemi 47 years
ago when he was one of the young expert theologians charged with preparing the
decree on the Church's missionary activity for Vatican Council II.

Benedict XVI thanked the Society of the Divine Word for having given him the
possibility to return to the "Ad Gentes" Center after more than four decades and
to recall that, at the time of the Council, he was living "in the center of
Rome, at the Santa Maria del Anima seminary, with all the noise [of the city],
which is also nice. But being here in the green countryside, having this glimpse
of nature and also this fresh air, was beautiful in itself. Then there was the
companionship of so many great theologians, with the important and wonderful
task of preparing the decree on missions".

Benedict XVI's meeting with the 150 participants of the Society of the Divine
Word's general chapter as well as members of the community's mother house in
Rome was very warm. The Holy Father recalled that the order's superior general
at the time was Fr. Johannes Schutte. "He had suffered greatly in China where he
was convicted and expelled from the country. He was full of missionary zeal, of
the need to bring a new impetus to the missionary spirit and I was alongside
him. I was a very young and not very important theologian;I didn't know why they
had invited me but, for me, it was a great gift".

"Fulton Sheen was also there, fascinating us with his afternoon speeches, and
Father Congar, and the great missionaries of Leuven. It was a spiritual
enrichment for me, a great gift. The decree was not very controversial. There
was this controversy, which I have never really understood, between the schools
of Leuven and Munster: was the main scope of the mission the 'implantatio
Ecclesiae' or the 'Evangelii' announcement? But everything converged in the one
spirit of the need to bring the light of the Word of God, the light of God's
love, to the world and to give new joy to this proclamation".

"Thus in those days was born a good and beautiful decree that was accepted
almost unanimously by all the Council Fathers. It was complemented very well for
me by 'Lumen Gentium' because in it we find a Trinitarian ecclesiology that
begins, above all, from the classical idea of the 'bonum diffusivum sui', the
good that carries with it the need to communicate, to give itself, a good that
cannot be locked within itself. The good, this same good, is essentially
'communicatio'. This is already apparent in the Trinitarian mystery, as God is
in Himself, and is spread throughout salvation history and in our need to give
others the good that we have received".

"Remembering all this I have often thought of those days in Nemi, which were an
essential part of the experience of the Council for me. I am pleased to see your
society flourishing - your father general has spoken of six thousand members in
many countries and nations. Clearly, missionary zeal is still alive and it lives
only if there is the Gospel's joy, if we experience the good that comes from God
and that wants to and must communicate itself. Thank you for your missionary
zeal".

In closing, the Holy Father wished the Verbites all the blessings of the Lord
and "much inspiration" during their chapter general. "May the same inspiring
power of the Holy Spirit that accompanied us almost visibly in those days be
again present among you and help you to find the path for your society as well
as for the Gospel mission 'ad gentes' for the following years. Thank you all and
may the Lord bless you. Pray for me as I pray for you".

---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 10 July 2012 (VIS) - Today the Holy Father appointed Bishop Pedro
Mario Ossandon Buljevic as auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese of Santiago de
Chile (area 9,132, population 5,905,000, Catholics 4,098,000, priests 801,
permanent deacons 332, religious 2978), Chile. The bishop, who is titular of La
Imperial, was formerly auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Concepcion, Chile.

. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------


"Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Today's two readings reveal God's salvific plan for Israel.

The Prophet Hosea tells us of the sins of Israel, their lack of faith, their
lack of devotion and piety. He prophesied that in the future a time will come
when the Jews will know "for it is time to seek the LORD".  That day is the day
of the LORD! This was His being born among humanity. And the LORD said to His
twelve Apostles to go and first seek out the "lost sheep of the house of
Israel."

But, the Jews persisted in their disbelief and only some were converted. St.
Paul prophesied that the Church would turn its attention instead to convert the
Gentiles and at the end of the world after the Gentiles were brought into the
faith the Church would once more turn its attention back to Israel and gather
the " lost sheep of the house of Israel."

During this third millennium we see from great heights the breadth, height and
depth of the Church. A few Gentile nations require deeper conversion leaving us
at the brink of returning once more to Israel.

Pray for the Israeli nation and Jews everywhere that our LORD bless them and
turn their hearts to Him.

Pray for Pope Benedict XVI and the Roman Curia that by God's grace they may bear
faithful witness to Christ to Israel and the whole world turning hearts to God.

Pray the Rosary of our LADY that she bless you and convert the whole world to
believe in Her Son our LORD, Jesus Christ!

. PRESIDENT OF THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC GUEST OF THE POPE
---------------------------------------------------------------





Vatican City, 12 2012 (VIS) - Yesterday afternoon the Holy Father welcomed
Giorgio Napolitano, president of the Republic of Italy, and his wife, Clio Maria
Bittoni to the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo. They met briefly in
the Apostolic Palace's Garden of the Moor, later conversing along the parapets
of the gardens.

At 6:00pm the president and the Holy Father attended a concert of the
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, directed by Maestro Daniel Barenboim, whom they
greeted after the performance. Afterwards the president of the Republic and his
wife dined with the Pope in his private apartments.


* * *

---------------------------------------------------------------
. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF MUSIC, HOPE FOR PEACE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 12 July 2012 (VIS) - "It pleases me to welcome an orchestra such
as this one, which was born of the conviction, or better yet, of the experience
that music unites persons, over and above any division". With these words the
Pope thanked Director Daniel Barenboim and the musicians of the West-Eastern
Divan Orchestra for the concert given in the Apostolic Palace of Castelgandolfo
to celebrate the feast of St. Benedict, patron of Europe.

"Music", the pontiff continued, "is the harmony of differences ... from the
multiplicity of tones of the various instruments a symphony can arise. However,
this doesn't happen magically or automatically. It comes only from ... a patient
and laborious commitment, which requires time and sacrifices in the effort to
listen to one another, avoiding excessive egoism and privileging the best
success of the whole".

"In these moments I am thinking of the great symphony of peace between the
peoples that is never complete. My generation, like that of Director Barenboim's
parents', lived the tragedy of the Second World war and the Shoah. It is highly
meaningful that the maestro desired to bring a to life a project like the
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra: a group in which musicians from Israel, Palestine,
and other Arabic nations play; Jewish, Muslim, and Christian persons. The
numerous acknowledgements that have been conferred on you and this orchestra
demonstrate your professional excellence as well as your ethical and spiritual
commitment".

Continuing, the Pope emphasized that the symphonies that were performed,
Beethoven's Fifth and Sixth, express two aspects of life: "drama and peace;
humanity's struggle against adversity and its enlightening immersion in a
bucolic environment... The message I would like to draw from it for today is
this: to achieve peace we must dedicate ourselves to dialogue with a personal
and communal conversion, patiently seeking possible areas of understanding".

"I wish and pray that each of you", he concluded, "continue sowing the hope for
peace in the world through the universal language of music".

. SPOKESPERSONS OF EUROPEAN EPISCOPAL CONFERENCES MEET IN COLOGNE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 12 July 2012 (VIS) - Members of the press and spokespersons of the
European Episcopal conferences met in Cologne, Germany to discuss the
relationship between the media and the Catholic Church.

Bishops, priests, and laypersons from across the continent are participating in
the various sessions of the meeting, which will take place from 11 to 14 July.
It will deal with, among other themes, communication regarding financial issues
related to the life of the churches. A special session will be held dedicated to
the Year of Faith and the media projects of the various episcopal conferences
related to this event.

.  TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------


"Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God"

The Church fathers and theologians for the past two millennia have interpreted
this verse to symbolically refer to the Church. The verses of Sacred Scripture
that refer to Israel are frequently shown to have a parallel meaning by
substituting Israel for the Church.

True, as all of this may be, it is also literally true, as there are the three
senses of Sacred Scripture, the first being that of the literal sense.

In the literal sense we hear God call Israel to return to Him. This is not
merely isolated to the historical context in which it was written in the time of
the Prophet Hosea, but more universally to Israel throughout time right up to
the Second Coming of Jesus Christ when He returns again.

This passage, therefore, in the literal sense, has a strong eschatological
meaning, where it refers to Israel being called by God to return to Him, to meet
and believe and come to know and adore Him in the person of the glorified
Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Jesus emphasized that He came first to call the lost of the house of Israel.
But, during the first century the Apostles found the Jews adamant against Jesus
and the Church. St. Paul prophesied that the focus of the Church was to aim at
the mission of the Gentiles and convert the whole world, after which she would
return to call the lost of the house of Israel.

This is why we can believe wholeheartedly the words of Jesus : "Amen, I say to
you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes." For
we are now approaching the era in which the Church must necessarily turn its
focus back to recall all of the lost of the house of Israel. And, as our LORD
tells us He will return before we finish converting all of the towns.

Consequently, we see that this verse is not only eschatological in the literal
sense but opens our eyes to its literal meaning for us today. For in our own day
the literal meaning is far more eschatological and imminent than it ever was
previously in Church history. Let us pray therefore, for the success of the
Church's mission to capture back the house of Israel and win our Jewish brothers
and sisters to the heart of Jesus Christ.

Pray for the Pope, Benedict XVI, the new Moses, that he may be given the wisdom,
the power, the knowledge, courage and strength to bear witness to the Jews and
all of the house of Israel so that all may come to know, honor and adore God in
the person of His only begotten Son, our LORD, Jesus Christ!

. PAN AFRICAN CONGRESS FOR CATHOLIC LAITY
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - "Being witnesses of Jesus Christ in Africa today. 'Salt
of the earth ... light of the World'" is the theme of the forthcoming Pan
African Congress for Catholic Laity, which has been organised by the Pontifical
Council for the Laity and is due to take place in Yaounde, Cameroon, from 4 to 9
September. The initiative is part of the council's tradition of organising
continental and/or regional congresses for Catholic lay people in various parts
of the world.

The event will be held at the Catholic University of Central Africa, and the
decision to hold the congress in Africa is related to the Holy Father's
apostolic trip to Cameroon and Angola in 2009 and, more recently, his visit to
Benin in November 2011 to sign the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation "Africae
Munus".

According to a communique released today: "the meeting demonstrates the
commitment of the Pontifical Council for the Laity to journey together with the
particular Churches. It also helps the laity to live their faith in communion
with their pastors and to rediscover their co-responsibility for the Church’s
mission in its many fields of apostolate".

. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------

"Here I am," I said; "send me!"

These are the words of the Prophet Isaiah. He spoke these words while in awe of
the presence of God and the Seraphic angels surrounding His throne of glory.
Isaiah's first impulse was fear and dread shrinking in the presence of the Holy
of Holies aware of his imperfections and unworthiness. Yet, when he heard God
ask whom shall I send? Isaiah immediately spoke out and asked to be sent.

In today's Gospel God-Man, Jesus Christ speaks to His apostles, whom He has
chosen to send out. He tells them to fear nothing, and be bold. The apostles are
the prophets of the New Testament, like Isaiah of the Old. The gift and charism
of the apostles is ever present with the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The apostles today are first and foremost the priests, bishops and cardinals of
the Church, of the Holy See. Also, many laity are called too to be apostles with
charisms and missions given them through God's divine plan.

The apostles of today imitate Isaiah and boldly say : "Here I am, send me!" Like
the apostles we must fear nothing and boldly preach and proclaim everything
Jesus has taught us through His Church.

Pray for the grace to bear witness to Christ in the world without fear and to
boldly proclaim His truth.

Pray for Pope Benedict XVI and the Holy See that the fire of the divine grace
may be ever enkindled so that they may boldly proclaim Christ to the world
without fear and with love.

---------------------------------------------------------------
. MESSAGE FOR THE 450TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CARMELITE REFORM
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Benedict XVI has sent a message to Bishop Jesus Garcia
Burillo of Avila, Spain, to mark the 450th anniversary of the foundation of the
Monastery of St. Joseph and the beginning of the Carmelite reform by St. Teresa
of Avila. The message, ample extracts of which are given below, is dated 16
July.

"The reform of the Carmelite Order, the anniversary of which fills us with inner
joy, arose from prayer and tends towards prayer. In promoting a radical return
to the original Rule and abandoning the mitigated Rule, St. Teresa of Jesus
sought to create a form of life which favoured a personal encounter with the
Lord, finding 'a place where we can be alone and look upon Him present within
us. Nor need we feel strange in the presence of so kind a Guest'".

"St. Teresa presented a new way of being Carmelite in a world which was also
new. Those were 'difficult times' in which, according to that Mistress of the
spirit, ... 'the world is on fire. Men try to condemn Christ once again. They
would raze His Church to the ground. No, my sisters, this is no time to treat
with God for things of little importance'. Does this luminous and engaging call,
written more than four centuries ago by the mystic saint, not sound familiar in
our own times?"

"The ultimate goal of Teresa's reform and the creation of new monasteries in a
world lacking spiritual values was to protect apostolic work with prayer,
proposing a form of evangelical life that would act as a model for people
seeking the path of perfection, on the basis of the conviction that all
authentic personal and ecclesial reform involves an ever more faithful
reproduction of the 'form' of Christ in our own selves. ... Today too, as in the
sixteenth century, in the midst of rapid transformation, it is important that
trusting prayer be the heart of the apostolate, so that the the redeeming
message of Jesus Christ may sound our clearly and dynamically. It is urgently
important for the Word of life to resound harmoniously in peoples souls, with
sonorous and attractive notes".

"The example of St. Teresa of Avila is of great help to us in this exhilarating
task. In her time the saint evangelised unhesitatingly, showing tireless ardour,
employing methods free from inertia and using expressions bathed in light. This
remains important in the current time, when there is a pressing need for the
baptised to renew their hearts through individual prayer in which, following the
guidance of St. Teresa, they also focus on contemplation of Christ's blessed
humanity as the only way to reach the glory of God".

"The power of Christ will lead to a redoubling of efforts to ensure that the
people of God recover their vigour in the only way possible: by finding space
within ourselves for the feelings of the Lord Jesus, and in all circumstances
seeking to live His Gospel to the full. This means, above all, allowing the Holy
Spirit to make us friends of the Master and to mould us to Him. It also means
accepting all His mandates and adopting in ourselves criteria such as humility
of conduct, renunciation of the superfluous, not harming others and acting with
simplicity and humbleness of heart. Thus those around us will perceive the joy
that arises from our adherence to the Lord; they will see that we put nothing
before His love, and that we are always ready to give reasons for our hope".

. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - "Blessed are the peacemakers" is the theme chosen by the
Holy Father for the forty-sixth World Day of Peace, which will fall on 1 January
2013, according to a communique released today by the Pontifical Council for
Justice and Peace. "The annual Message of the Pope, in the complexity of the
present time, will encourage everyone to take responsibility with regard to
peace-building", the English-language communique reads.

"The Message will embrace, therefore, the fullness and diversity of the concept
of peace, starting from the human being: inner peace and outer peace; then,
highlighting the anthropological emergency, the nature and incidence of
nihilism; and, at the same time, fundamental rights, in the first place freedom
of conscience, freedom of expression, freedom of religion. The Message will
offer, as well, an ethical reflection on some measures the world is going to
take to contain the financial and economic crisis, the educational crisis, the
crisis of the institutions and politics, which is also - in many cases - a
worrying crisis of democracy.

"The Message will also look at the fifteth Anniversary of Vatican Council II and
of the Encyclical Letter by Pope John XXIII, 'Pacem in Terris', according to
which the primacy is always for human dignity and freedom, for the building of
an earthly city to the service of every person, without any discrimination, and
directed to the common good which is based on justice and true peace.

"'Blessed are the peacemakers' will be the eighth Message of Pope Benedict XVI
for the Celebration of the World Day of Peace. Following are the titles of the
previous ones: 'In Truth, Peace' (2006), 'The Human Person, Heart of Peace'
(2007), 'The Human Family, a Community of Peace' (2008), 'Fighting Poverty to
Build Peace' (2009), 'If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation' (2010),
'Religious Freedom, the path to peace' (2011), 'Educating young people in
justice and peace' (2012)".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. THE CHURCH MUST PREACH TRUTH AND JUSTICE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 15 July 2012 (VIS) - This morning Benedict XVI visited the town of
Frascati, located near his summer residence of Castelgandolfo. In 1962 Blessed
Pope John XXIII ordered that the pastoral care of the diocese of Frascati be
entrusted to a residential bishop, while the title of that suburbicarian see be
retained by a cardinal. The current holder of the title is Cardinal Secretary of
State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., who concelebrated Mass with the Holy Father. The
visit of Benedict XVI is the fourth visit by a Pontiff to that diocese,
following those made by John XXIII in 1959, Paul VI in 1963, and John Paul II in
1980.

On arrival, the Pope was greeted by Stefano Di Tommaso, mayor of Frascati, and
by Bishop Raffaello Martinelli. He then entered the cathedral where he paused in
adoration before the Blessed Sacrament before celebrating Mass in the atrium of
the building, which is dedicated to St. Peter and overlooks a square of the same
name.

Extracts from the Holy Father's homily are given below:

"In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus takes the initiative to send the twelve Apostles
on a mission. ... The fact that Jesus calls certain disciples to collaborate
directly in His mission, is an expression of one aspect His love: He does not
disdain the help that other men can contribute to His work, He knows their
limits and weaknesses, but does not despise them; indeed, He confers on them the
dignity of being His emissaries. Jesus sends them out two by two and gives them
instructions. ... The first instruction concerns the spirit of detachment: the
Apostles must not be attached to money and comforts. Jesus warns the disciples
that they will not always receive a favourable welcome: at times they will be
rejected, and may also be persecuted. But that should not affect them: they must
speak in the name of Jesus and preach the Kingdom of God, without worrying about
success. They must leave the outcome in the hands of God.

"The first reading presented the same perspective, showing us that often God’s
messengers are not well received. This is the case of the prophet Amos (who)
preached with great energy against injustice, especially denouncing the abuses
of the king and chiefs, abuses that offend the Lord, and render acts of worship
vain. ... But, whether accepted or rejected, Amos continued to prophesy,
preaching what God says and not what people wanted to hear. This remains the
mandate of the Church: she does not preach what the powerful want to hear. Her
criterion is truth and justice, even if that garners no applause and collides
with human power".

"The other very important indication of the Gospel is that the Twelve must not
be content to preach conversion: their preaching must be accompanied, according
to the instructions and example given by Jesus, by the bodily and spiritual care
of the sick. He speaks of the concrete curing of diseases, ... of purifying the
human mind, ... of cleaning the eyes of the soul that are obscured by ideology
and therefore cannot see God, cannot see truth and justice. ... The apostolic
mission must always include two aspects: preaching the word of God and
manifesting His goodness with acts of charity, service and dedication".

"The Lord calls us all, distributing different gifts for different tasks in the
Church. He calls us to the priesthood and consecrated life, and He calls us to
marriage and commitment as lay people within the Church and society. ... Two
complementary paths that illuminate each other, enrich each other and together
enrich the community. ... The Lord bountifully sows His gifts, He calls you to
follow Him and to continue His mission today".

"I propose you intensely live the Year of Faith, which will begin in October,
fifty years from the opening of Vatican Council II. The conciliar documents
contain an enormous wealth for the formation of new generations of Christians,
for the formation of our consciousness. Read them, read the Catechism of the
Catholic Church and rediscover the beauty of being Christians, of being Church
and enjoying the great 'we' that Jesus formed around Him, to evangelise the
world: the 'we' of the Church, never closed, but always open and projected
towards the proclamation of the Gospel".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. POPE RECALLS ST. BONAVENTURE ON HIS FEAST DAY
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 15 July 2012 (VIS) - At midday today, having returned from his
pastoral visit to Frascati, the Holy Father appeared on the balcony overlooking
the inner courtyard of the Apostolic Palace of Castelgandolfo to pray the
Angelus with faithful gathered below.

"In the liturgical calendar", he said, "15 July is the memory of the Franciscan
St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, Doctor of the Church, the successor of St.
Francis of Assisi at the head of the Order of Friars Minor. He wrote the first
biography of Francis, and at the end of his life was also bishop of this diocese
of Albano".

"The whole life and theology of St. Bonaventure have Jesus Christ as their core
inspiration. This centrality of Christ is also to be found in the second reading
of today’s Mass, the famous hymn of the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians, which
begins: 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed
us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens'. The Apostle then
goes on to show us how this blessing is realised in four passages all of which
begin with the same expression 'in Him', referring to Jesus Christ. 'In Him' the
Father chose us before the creation of the world; 'in Him' we are redeemed
through His blood, 'in Him' we have become heirs predestined to be 'the praise
of his glory'; 'in Him' those who believe in the Gospel receive the seal of the
Holy Spirit. This hymn contains the Pauline view of history, which St.
Bonaventure helped to spread in the Church: all of history is centred on Christ,
Who is a guarantee of novelty and renewal in every age. In Jesus, God has spoken
and given everything, but because He is an inexhaustible treasure, the Holy
Spirit never ceases to reveal and update His mystery. Therefore, the work of
Christ and the Church never regresses, but always progresses".

After praying the Angelus the Holy Father described the holidays as "a
favourable moment to reflect upon our lives, and to open our hearts to other
people and to God. I invite you to concern yourselves with those who suffer
solitude and abandonment, in the street, in their own homes, in hospitals or in
care homes. Do not hesitate to visit them".

Finally the Pope recalled the fact that today marks the liturgical memory of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel, Mother of God of the Scapular. "Blessed John Paul II wore
and loved the scapular", he said. "To all his compatriots - in Poland, in the
world and here in Castelgandolfo - I express the hope that Mary, the best of
mothers, may protect you with her mantle in the struggle against evil, intercede
in your request for grace, and show you the path that leads to God".

Vatican City,  (VIS) - This afternoon the Holy Father is scheduled to receive in

On Sunday 15 July he received in audience Cardinal Fiorenzo Angelini, president
emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care.

. TOMORROW'S HOMILY
---------------------------------------------------------------


Blessed are they to whom the Son wishes to reveal Himself and the Father!

Divine revelation is God's own doing. As Vatican II has summed it up for us God
“chose to reveal Himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of His will
by which through Christ, the Word made flesh, man might in the Holy Spirit have
access to the Father and come to share in the divine nature”. God completed His
divine plan “by deeds and words having an inner unity” and also by establishing
an unmistakable and clear historical pattern. First He revealed Himself through
created realities; second He undertook the formation of a special people to
acknowledge Him as “the one living and true God, provident father and just
judge” and to wait for “the Savior promised by Him”; third, He sent His Son: To
see Jesus is to see His Father. For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by
fulfilling it through his whole work of making Himself present and manifesting
Himself: through His words and deeds, His signs and wonders, but especially
through His death and glorious resurrection from the dead and final sending of
the Spirit of truth. Finally, “we now await no further new public revelation”
and “the obedience of faith is to be given to God who reveals, an obedience by
which man commits his whole self freely to God, offering the full submission of
intellect and will to God who reveals”

Beyond all of this Divine Revelation is nothing more than the mind and heart of
God touching each and every one of us. When God chooses to communicate His love,
mercy and compassion we are enlightened by His love.

Many have theorized and taught about faith and reason through the ages. But,
faith is really illuminated reason. Faith and reason are not two separate or
disparate categories but two forms of cognitive rationality, one illuminated by
the Holy Spirit and divine grace and the other the logic as mirrored in the
Divine Mind of God in whose image we are created.

Divine Revelation, beloved, is our reception through faith and reason of God's
most sacred love.

Pray for Pope Benedict XVI to shine forth the love ofGod our beloved Father to
all the world.

. MONEYVAL REPORT: GIVING CONCRETE FORM TO THE MORAL COMMITMENT OF THE VATICAN
AND THE HOLY SEE
---------------------------------------------------------------


Vatican City,  (VIS) - Msgr. Ettore Balestrero, under secretary for Relations
with State, today presented a briefing to journalists in the Holy See Press
Office concerning the publication of the first Mutual Evaluation Report on the
Holy See and on Vatican City State ("MONEYVAL Report") regarding adherence to
the 40 + IX FATF recommendations against money laundering and countering the
financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). Msgr. Balestrero was head of the Holy See
delegation to the plenary session of MONEYVAL held in Strasbourg, France, on 4
July.

Extracts from Msgr. Balestrero's English-language presentation are given below:

"Vatican City State has a very small territory, with a small population, a very
low level of domestic crime and no market economy. It is not a financial centre
and its financial activities are meant to support its works of charity and of
religion. However the Holy See enjoys a recognised moral voice and in this sense
is deeply connected not only with its immediate neighbours, but with all
countries of the world. Moreover the Holy See, as primarily responsible for the
universal mission of the Church, has a special ability - even duty - to guide
and orient Catholic religious organisations throughout the world. While those
organisations exist within their own civil jurisdictions and are bound to follow
the laws of those jurisdictions on AML/CFT issues, it is important that the Holy
See use its moral authority to raise maximum awareness about the far too
frequent transnational crime of money laundering and the financing of
terrorism".

Beginning along the path and first accomplishments

"There has always been a clear determination to fight money laundering and
terrorist financing, as well as a legal system that already had several of the
elements necessary to tackle ML/FT problems.

"At the end of 2010, we passed an AML/CFT law and requested evaluation in
February 2011 by MONEYVAL. Our law came into force on 1 April 2011. Our
Financial Intelligence Authority was operational by June. In November 2011, we
received our first MONEYVAL on-site visit. The team of our evaluators was widely
considered to be perhaps the strongest team MONEYVAL had ever assembled. It
included the president, the secretary and an administrator of MONEYVAL, the
president of the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, two senior
financial experts and a professor of international law".

Revision of the First AML/CFT Legislation

"Based on the preliminary remarks of the evaluators in November, it became
apparent that the first version of the law, while representing an important
effort at proper legislation, contained gaps and other difficulties that needed
to be addressed in order to move forward.

"All jurisdictions that receive an on-site visit are given two months to
introduce changes in their legislation, that will be included in the evaluation
report. Within this time frame, on 25 January 2012, a new law was introduced
that provided for more effective cooperation among the Vatican authorities
involved in the prevention and countering of money laundering and the financing
of terrorism. The new law stressed the importance of their mutual connections
and the need to better allocate their respective competences in order to
establish a stronger and more sustainable AML/CFT system".

The present AML/CFT system

"Some of the more important elements of the current AML/CFT regime include:

"- The establishment of a risk-based approach to AML/CFT work, particularly in
regard to the identification of suspicious transactions.

"- Enhanced emphasis on international cooperation, including full exchange of
information with foreign counterparts. And I stress that this includes exchange
of information including information prior to 1 April 2011.

"- Laws relating to financial institution secrecy are consistent with
international standards.

"- The criminal law is significantly improved, by providing a comprehensive
definition of money laundering, and an array of predicate crimes in line with
international standards, as well as the criminalisation of the financing of
terrorism.

"- The power of the courts to prosecute money laundering, financing of
terrorism, and its predicate crimes, as well as to freeze and confiscate the
proceeds of ML/FT activity has been strengthened.

"- The sanctions for failure to fulfil AML/CFT requirements are enhanced and
made applicable to legal persons.

"- Entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a requirement for the
exchange of financial information with financial intelligence units from other
States. We pledge this to be an effective and reliable tool for exchanging
information on the basis of reciprocity with those jurisdictions that are also
committed to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

"- The power of the AML/FT supervisor to perform an inspection of any financial
institution is made explicit and the law provides for the creation of a specific
and detailed regulation upon the basis of which that inspection could be
conducted.

"In addition, the Holy See, acting also on behalf of Vatican City State, has
ratified the following Conventions: the Vienna Convention against Illicit
Traffic on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988); the New York
Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (1999), and the
Palermo Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (2000).

"These Conventions are immediately applicable in our legal system, without any
further need to implement legislation regarding extradition and cooperation.

"In addition, the area of international cooperation was carefully assessed The
findings of the evaluators were that the current system of the Holy See and of
Vatican City State is largely compliant with international standards".

Areas Where Evaluators Noted a Need for Improvement

"We are aware that, like other jurisdictions, some areas of the Vatican’s
systems to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism still need to
improve. After the new law was adopted in January, we addressed many of these
issues in the course of our continuing exchanges with the evaluators. Other
issues will be addressed expeditiously and giving proof of effectiveness. For
example:

"- There are some concerns expressed in the report regarding the use of an MOU
to establish the basis for international cooperation between financial
intelligence units. We feel that the adoption of this requirement, which is in
line with international standards, represents the right approach for the Vatican
which, as a smaller jurisdiction, wishes to interact on fair and fully
reciprocal terms with other countries. Indeed, this is a common choice made by
many jurisdictions, including New Zealand, Canada, Australia and others; nor is
this choice disfavored by such noted FATF members as the United States.

"- The Pontifical Commission is mandated by the law to provide for a regulation
permitting the AML/CFT supervisor to perform on-site inspections. The evaluators
note that until such a regulation becomes law, the supervisor's inspection
powers are not yet defined. We agree. That regulation, which is already being
drafted, will reflect our seriousness of purpose.

"- The report notes that the original structure of a Financial Intelligence
Authority, which combines the financial intelligence unit function and the
regulatory functions of a supervisor, appears to create difficulties. This
structure of the FIA, which concentrated all AML intelligence and supervision,
was inherited from the first version of the law. It was retained in the second
version of the law. The evaluators have expressed certain scepticism as to its
'workability'. We are grateful for this observation which we take seriously.

"- The report notes that conflicts of interest may arise due to the same person
working at the same time as a supervisor and in one of the supervised entities".

Next Steps After Passing the New Law

"After adoption of the present law, the Holy See has continued to improve its
anti-money- laundering system. Above all, the Holy See and the Vatican
authorities have moved from shorter-term solutions to the creation of long term,
sustainable and effective solutions; and will continue to do.

"For example, after 25 January, that is after the above mentioned period of two
months following the first on-site visit:

"- The Holy Sere established and implemented a terrorist list in line with the
measures required by the United Nations Security Council.

"- We have officially applied to join the Egmont Group, which is the
internationally accredited group of Financial Intelligence Units formed to
favour rapid and reciprocal exchanges of information.

"- Through the execution of memoranda of understanding, we have expeditiously
moved to insert our own financial intelligence authority into the international
network of financial intelligence units.

"- As mentioned, the Commission of Cardinals for Vatican City State is in the
process of adopting an inspection regulation.

"- We have initiated further revision of our criminal law, with a view to
further modernise its provisions in light of international standards.

"- Shortly we will complete our risk assessment.

"- We are considering ratification of other crime fighting conventions and new
legislation regarding non-profit organisations".

Conclusion

"We have taken a definitive step to lay the foundations to a structure - a house
if you will - that is to a robust and sustainable system to combat money
laundering and the financing of terrorism. Now it is our wish to fully construct
a building that effectively shows the Holy See’s and Vatican City State’s desire
to be a reliable partner in the international community".

. COMMUNIQUE CONCERNING PRIESTLY SOCIETY OF ST. PIUS X
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Early this afternoon, the Holy See Press Office released
the following English-language communique concerning the declaration which
emerged from the General Chapter of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X.

"The recently concluded General Chapter of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X
has addressed a declaration regarding the possibility of a canonical
normalisation in the relationship of the Society and the Holy See. While it has
been made public, the declaration remains primarily an internal document for
study and discussion among the members of the Society.

"The Holy See has taken note of this declaration, but awaits the forthcoming
official communication of the Priestly Society as their dialogue with the
Pontifical Commission 'Ecclesia Dei' continues".

. POPE TELLS DIRECTORS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PASTORAL CARE TO ACCOMPANY THOSE
BELOVED BUT MARGINALISED PEOPLES
---------------------------------------------------------------





Vatican City,  (VIS) - Benedict XVI has sent a message, through Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., to Bishop Pablo Varela Server,
auxiliary of Panama and president of the department for education and culture of
the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM), for the occasion of the twelfth
Meeting on African American Pastoral Care. The meeting is due to come to an end
tomorrow, 20 July, in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

The Holy Father encourages the bishops participating in the event "to examine
the cultural values, history and traditions of African Americans, with a view to
improving the Church's ability to present Jesus Christ as the authentic response
to the most profound questions of mankind". In doing this they should allow
themselves to be "led by the impulse of the Holy Spirit which came to make all
cultures fruitful, 'purifying them, germinating the many seeds which the
incarnate Word placed therein, and thus guiding them along the paths of the
Gospel". The Pope also invites the bishops and their collaborators "to continue
to accompany those beloved peoples, who are often marginalised and ignored".

The theme of the twelfth Meeting on African American Pastoral Care is "African
American and Caribbean Pastoral Care and the Aparecida Document. Challenges and
Hopes in the Church and in Society". The event is being attended by 250
delegates from Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Argentina,
Panama, Bolivia, Haiti. Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Jamaica.

The meeting, which opened on 16 July, aims to revitalise the processes whereby
African American peoples participate in the Church and in society; to foment
unity and the human, social and religious development of the peoples of Latin
America and the Caribbean, and to continue the process of building black
Christian communities with a specific identity.

Also in Guayaquil and in the context of the same event, the third Meeting of
Bishops with African American Peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean was
held from 13 to 15 July. The participants revised and extended the African
American pastoral guidelines, the tenth anniversary of the publication of which
falls in 2013.

"Above all", according to a note issued by CELAM, "with the United Nations
International Year for People of African Descent in 2011, and the recent call
for an International Decade for People of African Descent, the Church in Latin
America is seeking to focus particular attention on people of African descent,
and their presence and participation in the Church and in society".

. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS

Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy Father accepted the resignation from the office
of auxiliary of the archdiocese of Guadalajara, Mexico, presented by Bishop
Rafael Francisco Martinez Sainz, upon having reached the age limit.

. CCEE DECLARATION ON SYRIA: FINDING SPACE FOR A DIALOGUE OF PEACE
---------------------------------------------------------------





Vatican City,  (VIS) - "For many months now the Church and the entire
international community have been looking with great apprehension and profound
sadness at the escalating violence in Syria, where arms seem to have taken the
place of dialogue".

These are the opening words of a declaration concerning the situation in Syria,
issued yesterday afternoon by the Council of European Episcopal Conferences
(CCEE) and signed by Cardinal Peter Erdo, archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest,
Hungary; Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, archbishop of Genoa, Italy, and Archbishop
Jozef Michalik of Przemysl of the Latins, Poland, respectively president and
vice presidents of the CCEE.

"We hope that the authorities in the country, the population and all believers
of whatever religion may look to God and find the way to put an end to
hostilities, set aside their arms and start down the path of dialogue,
reconciliation and peace. The conflict cannot but lead to mourning, destruction
and serious consequences for the noble people of Syria. War is a dead end.
Happiness can be achieved only by acting together, never by the abusive exercise
of power of one side against another", the text reads.

"The coming days could prove decisive for the outcome of this crisis. Therefore
we exhort all the Christians of Europe to redouble their prayers for peace in
that region. Our faith leads us to hope that a constructive solution to the
crisis is possible, one which respects the interests of all sides. It is
important to rediscover space for a dialogue of peace; and it is never too late
to understand one another, to negotiate and to build a shared future together.

"We are certain that, with God's help, good sense may prevail and lead to
peaceful coexistence in truth, justice, love and freedom, and in respect for all
monitories, particularly the Christians in the country".

. CHRISTIAN MARRIED COUPLES: MESSENGERS OF THE BEAUTY OF LOVE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - Benedict XVI invites Christian married couples to be "the
sweet and smiling face of the Church" in a message sent to the eleventh
international meeting of the "Equipes Notre Dame" Movement, currently being held
in Brasilia, Brazil, on the theme: "Daring with the Gospel". The "Equipes Notre
Dame" Movement, which promotes conjugal spirituality, was founded in 1939 by the
French priest Fr. Henri Caffarel.

In the message, sent through Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone
S.D.B., the Pope expresses the view that Christian married couples must be "the
best and most convincing messengers of the beauty of a love supported and
nourished by the faith, a gift of God which is given to everyone abundantly and
generously, so that day after day they can discover the meaning of their lives".
The Holy Father also notes that the "Equipes Notre Dame" encourage members to
avail themselves of the Sacraments, and to make simple concrete commitments such
as the "duty to sit down together"; that is, to dedicate time to interpersonal
dialogue between the spouses.

"In our world, which is so deeply marked by individualism, activism, haste and
distraction, sincere and constant dialogue between spouses is essential to avoid
the emerge, development and degeneration of misunderstandings which,
unfortunately, often lead to irreparable breaks which no one can then mend", the
message concludes.



* * *


---------------------------------------------------------------
. CONCERNING THE PUBLICATION OF ARTICLES ON "VATILEAKS"
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - "Newspaper articles have been published in recent days in
Italy and Germany on the subject of investigations into the leaking of reserved
Vatican documents, articles which hint at serious suspicions of complicity on
the part of certain persons close to the Holy Father. The Secretariat of State
expresses its firm and total disapproval of those publications, which are not
based on objective criteria and seriously damage the honour of the people
concerned, who have served the Holy Father faithfully for many years".

These words are contained in a note issued this morning by Holy See Press Office
Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J., who adds: "The fact that the results of the
investigations have not yet been made known by the authorities concerned, in no
way legitimises the publication of unfounded and false interpretations and
theories. It is not this kind of information that the public has the right to
know".

At the same time, in a statement transmitted by Vatican Radio, Fr. Lombardi
notes that he has "often repeated that being called before a commission in the
course of its investigations in no way means that a person is a suspect. It is
evident that the three people mentioned in the article [Ingrid Stampa, Cardinal
Paolo Sardi and Bishop Joseph Clemens] many have been called to appear, but this
says nothing about their being suspected of shared responsibility or
'complicity'".

"As regards their having been 'dismissed' from office, Cardinal Sardi completed
his service at the Secretariat of State when he reached the age of seventy-five,
and Ingrid Stampa continues to work in the Secretariat of State. As for Bishop
Clemens, he has been secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Laity for a
number of years, and it is not true that he received a letter from the Pope such
as the one described in the article in 'Die Welt' (a letter to which the Italian
newspaper 'La Repubblica' makes only indirect reference)".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. THE POPE SPEAKS ABOUT MARY MAGDALENE ON HER FEAST DAY
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 22 July 2012 (VIS) - Before praying the Angelus at midday today,
Benedict XVI dedicated some remarks to what he described as "a fundamental and
ever enthralling theme of the Bible": the fact that "God is the Pastor of
humankind".

Addressing faithful gathered in the inner courtyard of the Apostolic Palace of
Castelgandolfo, the Pope explained how this phrase means that "God wants life
for us, He wants to guide us to good pastures where we can find nourishment and
rest. He does not want us to lose our way and die, but to reach the goal of our
journey, which is fullness of life. This is what any mother or father wants for
their children: goodness, happiness, fulfilment. In the Gospel Jesus presents
Himself as the Pastor of the lost sheep of the House of Israel. His gaze over
His people is a 'pastoral' gaze".

"Among the 'lost sheep' whom Jesus saved there was a woman by the name Mary from
the village of Magdala on the Sea of Galilee, for which reason she is known as
Mary Magdalene. Her feast day falls today. Luke the Evangelist tells us that
Jesus freed her from seven demons; in other words, He saved her from utter
servitude to the Evil One. And ,in what does this profound healing that God
achieves through Jesus consist? It consists in true and complete peace, which is
the result of the reconciliation of people in themselves and in all their
relations: with God, with others and with the world.

"In fact", the Pope added, "the Evil One always seeks to destroy the work of God
by sowing strife in the human heart, between body and soul, between man and God,
in interpersonal, social and international relations, even between man and the
creation. The Evil One spreads war; God creates peace".



* * *


---------------------------------------------------------------
. POPE'S SADNESS AT ATTACKS IN U.S.A. AND FERRY DISASTER IN ZANZIBAR
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 22 July 2012 (VIS) - After praying the Angelus today, the Holy
Father spoke of his profound shock at "the senseless violence which took place
in Aurora, Denver", and at "the loss of life in the recent ferry disaster near
Zanzibar. I share the distress of the families and friends of the victims and
the injured, especially the children. Assuring all of you of my closeness in
prayer, I impart my blessing as a pledge of consolation and strength in the
risen Lord".

The Holy Father then went on to note that in a few days time the thirtieth
Olympic Games are due to begin in London, England. "The Olympics", he said, "are
the greatest sporting event in the world, in which athletes from many different
nations participate, and thus they have great symbolic value. For this reason
the Catholic Church looks to the to Olympics with particular sympathy and
interest. Let us pray that, according to God’s will, the London Olympics may be
a true experience of brotherhood among the peoples of the Earth".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. DECLARATION CONCERNING THE GRANTING OF HOUSE ARREST TO PAOLO GABRIELE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 21 July 2012 (VIS) - Late this afternoon, Holy See Press Office
Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. made the following declaration:

"Judge Piero Antonio Bonnet, Examining Magistrate of the Tribunal of Vatican
City State, in the wake of today's interrogation of Paolo Gabriele, has decided
it is no longer necessary to keep him in custody. He has therefore granted Mr
Gabriele parole, meaning that, having provided the necessary guarantees, he will
remain under house arrest.

"Mr Gabriele will, then, reside with his family in his own home inside the
Vatican, and will follow the norms laid down by the Judge vis-a-vis his contacts
and dealings with others.

"The next stage of the procedure, which is expected within a few days, will be
the indictment of the Promoter of Justice regarding Mr Gabriele's responsibility
for aggravated theft, and the subsequent decision of the Examining Magistrate to
send the accused for trial or acquit him.

"As regards the Commission of Cardinals, it submitted its final report to the
Holy Father a few days ago".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. HOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE COMMUNIQUE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 21 July 2012 (VIS) - The Holy See Press Office today issued the
following communique:

"The Holy See, by Decree of the secretary of State acting on a specific
pontifical mandate, has decided, in conformity with canonical legislation, to
withdraw the right of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru to use the
titles of 'Pontifical' and 'Catholic'.

"Since 1967 the University - which was founded in 1917 and canonically erected
by Decree of the Holy See in 1942 - has on various occasions unilaterally
modified its Statues, seriously prejudicing the interests of the Church.

"Beginning in 1990, the University has been repeatedly requested by the Holy See
to bring its Statutes into line with the Apostolic Constitution 'Ex Corde
Ecclesiae' (15 August 1990), but has failed to respond to this legal
requirement.

"Following the canonical visit of December 2011 and the meeting of the rector
with the cardinal secretary of State in February this year, a further attempt at
dialogue was made, with a view to adapting the Statutes to Church law.

"Recently, via two letters addressed to the secretary of State, the rector
stated that it was impossible to carry out the requirements imposed upon him,
and he made the modification of the Statutes conditional on the archdiocese of
Lima renouncing its administration of the University's property.

"The participation of the archdiocese of Lima in administering the patrimony of
the University has been confirmed on various occasions by the civil courts of
Peru.

"In the face of this position taken by the University, which has been confirmed
by other initiatives, the Holy See has been obliged to adopt the aforementioned
measures. At the same time it reiterates the fact that the University still has
a duty to continue to observe canonical legislation.

"The Holy See will carefully follow the evolution of the situation of the
University, hoping that in the near future the competent academic authorities
may reconsider their position, making it possible to revise the present
measures. The renewal requested by the Holy See will make the University better
able to respond to its mission of carrying the message of Christ to mankind,
society and different cultures, in keeping with the mission of the Church in the
world".

. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy Father appointed Archbishop Pier Luigi Celata as
vice chamberlain of Holy Roman Church.

On Saturday 21 July it was made public that the Holy Father:

formation and various cultural themes. He succeeds Bishop Michel Hrynchyshyn,

. PROJECTS FOR INDIGENOUS, MIXED RACE AND AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN LATIN
AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - The administrative council of the Populorum Progressio
Foundation is holding its annual meeting from 24 to 27 July at the Pastoral Care
and Spirituality Centre of the Episcopal Conference of Colombia, to deliberate
on the financing of projects in support of poor indigenous, mixed race and
African-American communities of Latin America and the Caribbean. Populorum
Progressio, which was founded in 1992, is part of the Pontifical Council "Cor
Unum".

The administrative council is composed of the following members: Cardinal Robert
Sarah, president of the Foundation and of the Pontifical Council "Cor Unum";
Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez, archbishop of Guadalajara, Mexico and president
of the administrative council; Archbishop Edmundo Luis Abastoflor Montero of La
Paz, Bolivia and vice president of the administrative council; Archbishop Murilo
Sebastiao Ramos Krieger S.C.I. of Sao Sebastiao da Bahia, Brazil; Archbishop
Javier Augusto del Rio Alba of Arequipa, Peru; Archbishop Antonio Arregui Yarza
of Guayaquil, Ecuador; Archbishop Oscar Urbina Ortega of Villavicencio,
Colombia, and Msgr. Segundo Tejado Munoz, under secretary of the Pontifical
Council "Cor Unum". Archbishops Ramos Krieger and del Rio Alba joined the
council this year as new representatives, respectively, of Brazil and Peru.

The Foundation receives its principal financial support from the Italian
Episcopal Conference's committee for charitable initiatives in favour of the
Third World, and from private donors. The administrative council traditionally
holds its annual session in a country of Latin America or the Caribbean in order
to draw attention to the activities and initiatives of the particular Churches
there.

A total of 203 projects have been presented this year, involving 19 countries
and a total value of USD 2,908,727. The number of projects presented by country
are: Brazil (59), Colombia (42), Peru (15), Ecuador (16), El Salvador (6), Haiti
(12), Guatemala (5), Argentina (5), Bolivia (10), Paraguay (4), Chile (4), Cuba
(5), Costa Rica (6), Mexico (3), Venezuela (2), Nicaragua (3), Dominican
Republic (2), Honduras (2) and Uruguay (2).

The Foundation is currently going through a period of renewal, both of its
membership and secretariat, with the aim of identifying new ways to propagate
the activities of Populorum Progressio. This will include a project to be
presented to the members by Juan Carlos Navarro, an expert on foundations, with
the assistance of Msgr. Silverio Nieto, juridical consultant of "Cor Unum",
containing possible changes to the working methods of the Foundation. This
year's meeting will also serve to elect a new president and vice president of
the administrative council.

. TELEGRAM FOR THE DEATHS OF OSWALDO PAYA AND HAROLD CEPERO
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Benedict XVI has sent a telegram to Cardinal Jaime Lucas
Ortega y Alamino, archbishop of San Cristobal de la Habana, Cuba, for the
traffic accident of 22 July which killed Oswaldo Paya Sardinas, founder of the
Christian Liberation Movement and winner of the 2002 Sakharov Prize, and Harold
Cepero Escalante, youth leader of the Movement, and injured a number of others.
The telegram was sent through Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, substitute for
General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, who was apostolic nuncio to Cuba
between 2009 and 2011.

Having learned of the "tragic episode", the Pope asks Cardinal Ortega y Alamino
to inform the victims' families of "his heartfelt condolences and spiritual
closeness. At the same time he prays to the Lord that the injured may be
restored to complete health".

The telegram continues: "The Holy Father likewise raises fervent prayers to God
for the eternal repose of the deceased and asks Him to grant consolation and
strength to those who, at this sad time, are weeping their irreparable loss. ...
Invoking the protection of Nuestra Senora de la Caridad del Cobre, and as a
pledge of copious divine favour at this time of suffering, the Holy Father
affectionately imparts his apostolic blessing as a sign of faith and hope in
Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of mankind".

. TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY: POWERING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Message for World Tourism Day published by the
Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant Peoples was
issued today. The Day, which is due to be celebrated on 27 September, has as its
theme this year: "Tourism and Sustainable Energy: Powering Sustainable
Development".

The message, signed by Cardinal Antonio Maria Veglio and Archbishop Joseph
Kalathiparambil, respectively president and secretary of the pontifical council,
recalls the fact that World Tourism Day is promoted annually by the World
Tourism Organisation (WTO). "The Holy See has adhered to this initiative from
its first edition. It considers it an opportunity to dialogue with the civil
world and offers its concrete contribution, based on the Gospel, and also sees
it as an occasion to sensitise the whole Church about the importance of this
sector from the economic and social standpoint and, in particular, in the
context of the new evangelisation".

"Also in this edition of the World Day we make the theme proposed by the WTO our
own: 'Tourism and Sustainable Energy: Powering Sustainable Development'", the
English-language version of the message reads. "It is in harmony with the
present 'International Year of Sustainable Energy for All' promulgated by the
United Nations with the objective of highlighting 'the need to improve access to
reliable, affordable, economically viable, socially acceptable and
environmentally sound energy services and resources for sustainable
development'.

"Tourism has grown at a significant rhythm in the past decades. According to the
World Tourism Organisation statistics, it is foreseen that during the year in
progress the quota will reach one billion international tourist arrivals, which
will become two billion in the year 2030. To these should be added the even
higher numbers involved in local tourism. This growth, which surely has positive
effects, can lead to a serious environmental impact owing, among other factors,
to the immoderate consumption of energy resources, the increase in polluting
agents and the production of waste".

"The concept of 'sustainable development' is already engrained in our society
and the tourism sector cannot and must not remain on the margin. When we talk
about 'sustainable tourism', we are not referring to one means among others,
such as cultural, beach or adventure tourism. Every form and expression of
tourism must necessarily be sustainable and cannot be otherwise. Along this way,
the energy problems have to be taken into due consideration. It is an erroneous
assumption to think that 'an infinite quantity of energy and resources are
available, that it is possible to renew them quickly, and that the negative
effects of the exploitation of the natural order can be easily absorbed'".

"In this area also the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and
Itinerant People wishes to offer its contribution based on the conviction that
'the Church has a responsibility towards creation and she must assert this
responsibility in the public sphere'. It is not up to us to propose concrete
technical solutions but to show that development cannot be reduced to mere
technical, political or economic parameters. We wish to accompany this
development with some appropriate ethical guidelines which stress the fact that
all growth must always be at the service of the human being and the common
good".

"We cannot separate the theme of environmental ecology from concern for an
appropriate human ecology in the sense of interest in the human being's integral
development. In the same way, we cannot separate our view of man and nature from
the bond which unites them with the Creator. God has entrusted the good
stewardship of creation to the human being. In the first place, a great
educational effort is important in order to promote 'an effective shift in
mentality which can lead to the adoption of new life-styles'. This conversion of
the mind and heart 'allows us rapidly to become more proficient in the art of
living together that respects the alliance between man and nature'.

"It is right to acknowledge that our daily habits are changing and that a
greater ecological sensitivity exists. However, it is also true that the risk is
easily run of forgetting these motivations during the vacation period in a
search for certain comforts to which we believe we are entitled, without always
reflecting on their consequences.

"It is necessary to cultivate the ethics of responsibility and prudence and to
ask ourselves about the impact and consequences of our actions. In this regard,
the Holy Father says: 'The way humanity treats the environment influences the
way it treats itself, and vice versa. This invites contemporary society to a
serious review of its life-style, which, in many parts of the world, is prone to
hedonism and consumerism, regardless of their harmful consequences'. On this
point, it will be important to encourage both entrepreneurs and tourists to
consider the repercussions of their decisions and attitudes. In the same way, it
is crucial 'to encourage more sober lifestyles, while reducing their energy
consumption and improving efficiency'.

"These underlying ideas must necessarily be translated into concrete actions.
Therefore, and with the objective of making the tourist destinations
sustainable, all initiatives that are energy efficient and have the least
environmental impact possible and lead to using renewable energies, should be
promoted and supported to promoting the saving of resources and avoiding
contamination. In this regard, it is fundamental for the ecclesial tourism
structures and vacations proposals promoted by the Church to be characterised,
among other things, by their respect for the environment. All of the sectors
involved (businesses, local communities, governments and tourists) must be aware
of their respective responsibilities in order to achieve sustainable forms of
tourism. Collaboration between all the parts involved is necessary.

"The Social Doctrine of the Church reminds us that 'care for the environment
represents a challenge for all of humanity. It is a matter of a common and
universal duty, that of respecting a common good'. A good which human beings do
not own but are 'stewards', a good which God entrusted to them so that they
would administer it properly.

"Pope Benedict XVI says that 'the new evangelisation, to which all are called,
requires us to keep in mind and to make good use of the many occasions that
tourism offers us to put forward Christ as the supreme response to modern man’s
fundamental questions'. Therefore, we invite everyone to promote and use tourism
in a respectful and responsible way in order to allow it to develop all of its
potentialities, with the certainty that in contemplating the beauty of nature
and peoples we can arrive at the encounter with God".

. TWO PRIESTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND VISITORS TO THE VATICAN MUSEUMS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Beginning in the month of August, two priests will be
assigned to attend to visitors to the Vatican Museums. They will be available to
dialogue with the visitors and to offer them, should they wish, spiritual advice
and assistance.

As Bishop Giuseppe Sciacca, secretary general of the Governorate of Vatican City
State, explains in an article in the "Osservatore Romano" newspaper, "there is
nothing institutional or pretentious about the initiative. The priests will
simply be on hand with a table and two chairs at two strategic points on the
normal itinerary visitors follow, and anyone who wishes may approach them to
exchange a few words, or to reflect together".

"The Vatican Museums", Bishop Sciacca goes on, "are an 'unicum' among the
world's great cultural institutions. They are a precious casket in which, thanks
to their wisdom and love of 'beauty', the Roman Pontiffs have gathered together
what are perhaps the most exalted works that human genius has produced over the
course of the centuries. ... And the Museums are not afraid to show that they,
in fact, represent a way through which the good news of God-made-man can be
announced to the world". The Museums "welcome everyone, whatever their beliefs
or origins, while reminding each of them - through a statue, a piece of gold, a
painting or a fresco - of the goal for which we were created".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS
---------------------------------------------------------------





Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Holy Father appointed Msgr. Paul Pallath as head of
the office dealing with procedures for dispensation from unconsummated marriage
and causes for the nullity of priestly ordination, at the Tribunal of the Roman
Rota.

. POPE RECEIVES THE COMMISSION OF CARDINALS INVESTIGATING LEAKING OF DOCUMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 27 July 2012 (VIS) - "Yesterday morning 26 July, the Holy Father
received in audience the Commission of Cardinals which is undertaking the
administrative investigation into the leaking of reserved information: Cardinal
Julian Herranz, Cardinal Jozef Tomko and Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgi. The
cardinals were accompanied by Fr. Luigi Martignani O.F.M. Cap., secretary of the
Commission; Examining Magistrate Piero Antonio Bonnet, and Promoter of Justice
Nicola Picardi of the Tribunal of Vatican City State", according to a communique
released this morning by the Holy See Press Office.

"The Holy Father was informed about the conclusions reached by the Commission of
Cardinals, and about the progress of the criminal procedures currently underway.
He thanked them for the information he had received and invited the Vatican
magistrates to proceed expeditiously.

"The meeting was also attended by Archbishop Angelo Becciu, substitute for
General Affairs of the Secretariat of State; Msgr. Georg Gaenswein, private
secretary to the Holy Father; Domenico Giani, director of the Vatican
Gendarmerie, and Gregory Burke, communications consultant of the Secretariat of
State".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. ST. PIUS X AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - It was 1908 when, in the wake of a serious economic
crisis, Rome renounced hosting the Olympic Games which were eventually
celebrated in London, England. In the same year Pierre de Coubertin, the founder
of the modern Olympics, sought help from the Vatican to support the Games, and
Pope St. Pius X in person offered him his support.

More than one hundred years later, the British capital is hosting the Olympic
Games for the third time. The event is due to open this evening.

That moment at the beginning of the twentieth century is described in a book
entitled "Pio X e lo sport" by Antonella Stelitano. At that time "less than one
per cent of the population practised any sporting activity, ... and sport was
used only as a form of military training or as a pastime for the upper classes",
the author explained in an interview with Vatican Radio.

However "St. Pius X ... was aware of the educational potential of sport". He saw
it as a way "to approach young people, and to bring them together while
following certain rules and showing respect for adversaries. I believe", the
author explained, "that he understood that it was possible to bring people
together simply, without any problems of race, religion or differing political
ideas".

At that time in history many people did not understand the importance of
exercise, said Antonella Stelitano who concluded her interview by recalling an
anecdote whereby Pius X told one of his cardinals: "All right, if it is
impossible to understand that this can be done, then I myself will do exercise
in front of everyone so that they may see that, if the Pope can do it, anyone
can do it".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. OTHER PONTIFICAL ACTS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 27 July 2012 (VIS) - The Holy Father:

- Appointed Bishop Salvatore J. Cordileone of Oakland, U.S.A., as archbishop of

permanent deacons 78, religious 854), U.S.A. He succeeds Archbishop George H.
Niederauer, whose resignation from the pastoral care of the same archdiocese the
Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.

- Appointed Bishop Jesus Murgui Soriano of Mallorca, Spain, as bishop of
Orihuela-Alicante (area 4,415, population 1,653,786, Catholics 1,405,718,

. GOD IS CAPABLE OF MULTIPLYING OUR GESTURES OF LOVE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 29 July 2012 (VIS) - The miracle of the multiplication of the
loaves and fishes and its association with the Eucharist, and the importance of
sharing our possessions, were the central themes of the Pope's remarks before
praying the Angelus today with faithful gathered in the internal courtyard of
the Apostolic Palace at Castelgandolfo.

In the narrative of feeding the five thousand as recounted in today's Gospel,
"the emphasis on the topic of 'bread' which is shared, and on giving thanks, are
references to the Eucharist", the Holy Father explained. The narrative also
mentions a boy who, seeing the difficulty in feeding so many people, shared the
little he had: five loaves and two fish. Thus "the miracle did not come from
nowhere, it came from an ordinary boy's desire to share what he had. Jesus does
not ask us what we do not possess, but shows us that if each of us offers the
little we have, a miracle can always happen. God is able to multiply every one
of our small deeds of love and make us share in His gift".

In this episode "the crowds were struck by wonder. They saw Jesus as a new
Moses, worthy of power, and the new manna as a guarantee for the future. But
they stopped at the material aspect, at what they ate, while the Lord, realising
'they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again
to the mountain by himself'. Jesus is not an earthly king who rules, but a king
who serves, who bends to man's level to meet not only his material hunger, but
his deeper hunger, his hunger for guidance, meaning and truth, his hunger for
God".

"Let us ask the Lord to help us rediscover the importance of nourishing
ourselves not only with bread, but with truth, love, Christ, the body of Christ.
... At the same time, we wish to pray that no one may lack the bread necessary
for a dignified life, and that all inequalities be removed, not through weapons
and violence, but through sharing and love".

. SYRIA AND IRAQ: SPARE NO EFFORTS IN SEEKING PEACE AND RECONCILIATION
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 29 July 2012 (VIS) - "I am continuing to follow with concern the
tragic and increasing violence in Syria, with its depressing sequence of deaths
and injuries, also among civilians, and huge numbers of internally displaced
persons and refugees in neighbouring States", said the Pope after praying the
Angelus. "I therefore ask that the necessary humanitarian assistance and aid be
guaranteed. In renewing the expression of my closeness to the suffering people,
and my recollection of them in my prayers, I renew my appeal for all violence
and bloodshed to end. I ask God to give wisdom of heart, especially to those in
positions of greatest responsibility, so that no effort many be spared in the
search for peace, also on the part of the international community, through
dialogue and reconciliation, with a view to finding an adequate political
solution to the conflict.

"My thoughts also go", he added, "to the dear nation of Iraq which has recently
suffered numerous serious attacks that have left many dead and injured. May that
great country discover the path to stability, reconciliation and peace".

Benedict XVI also turned his attention to the ILVA steelworks in the Italian
city of Taranto, which may soon be forced to close due to problems associated
with the emission of toxic waste. "I wish to express my closeness to the workers
and their families, who are experiencing this difficult time with great
apprehension", he said. "While giving assurances of the prayers and support of
the Church, I exhort everyone to show a sense of responsibility, and I encourage
national and local institutions to make every effort to reach an equitable
solution to the issue, one which protects both the right to health and the right
to work, especially at this time of economic crisis".

. BENEDICT XVI'S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 1 September 2012 (VIS) - Pope Benedict's general prayer intention
for September is: "That politicians may always act with honesty, integrity, and
love for the truth".
His mission intention is: "That Christian communities may have a growing
willingness to send missionaries, priests, and lay people, along with concrete
resources, to the poorest Churches".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. CARDINAL MARTINI: FAITHFUL SERVANT AND DISTINGUISHED PASTOR
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 1 September 2012 (VIS) - Today Benedict XVI sent a telegram of
condolence to Cardinal Angelo Scola, Archbishop of Milan, Italy, on the death
yesterday of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, S.J., archbishop emeritus of that
diocese, at 85 years of age.

"I received with sorrow", the Pope writes, "news of the death of Cardinal Carlo
Maria Martini, after a long illness that he lived with serenity of spirit and
complete trust in the Lord's will. I wish to express, both to the diocesan
community as well as the family members of the lamented cardinal, my deepest
sharing in their sorrow, recalling affectionately this beloved brother who so
generously served the Gospel and the Church. I recall with gratitude his intense
apostolic work extended as religious dedication, this spiritual son of St.
Ignatius, experienced teacher, accredited Biblicist, and appreciated rector of
the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute as
well as caring and wise archbishop of this Ambrosian archdiocese. Also brought
to mind is his competent and fervent service given to the Word of God, opening
the treasures of Sacred Scripture more and more to the ecclesial community,
especially through his promotion of 'lectio divina'. I lift fervent prayers to
the Lord that, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, He may
welcome this faithful servant and distinguished pastor to the heavenly Jerusalem
and I wholeheartedly impart the consolations of apostolic blessing to all those
who mourn his loss".

Likewise, Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone sent a telegram to
Cardinal Scola expressing, in his name, in that of the secretariat of state, and
in that of the entire Roman Curia, deepest condolences on the death of the
cardinal who "witnessed and taught the primacy of the spiritual life and, at the
same time, the attentive listening to the human being in its various existential
and social conditions". The secretary of state recalled Cardinal Martini as an
"expert and passionate scholar of Sacred Scripture, who knew how to teach it to
and meditate upon it with all those who make up the people of God and all
persons in search of truth".

. CLOSURE OF THE SUMMER SEMINAR OF THE RATZINGER SCHULEKREIS
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - The traditional summer seminar of former students of
Benedict XVI (the "Ratzinger Schulekreis") came to a close yesterday morning
with a Mass celebrated by the Holy Father at the Mariapoli Centre in
Castelgandolfo. This year's seminar has been examining the theme of: "Ecumenical
outcomes and questions in the dialogue with Lutheranism and Anglicanism".

The Pope began his homily, Vatican Radio reports, with an analysis of a passage
from Deuteronomy, recalling how Israel received God's Law which brings authentic
wisdom. This is a gift, the Holy Father explained, in which to take joy, it is
not the result of some individual genius. The Church, which he described as "a
universal Israel", must only take joy at the gift of Christ, which is the
essential nucleus of the Law, the Law made flesh, God's Love for us. We have
received the wisdom which is truth, we know how to live and to die because
Christ is life and truth. There is no room for triumphalism of any kind, but
only for joy and gratitude at the gift we have received, a gift we did not
create".


* * *


---------------------------------------------------------------
. THE POPE WARNS AGAINST THE DANGER OF FALSE RELIGIOSITY
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Law of God, which finds complete fulfilment in love,
provided the theme for Benedict XVI's remarks before praying the Angelus today
with faithful gathered in the inner courtyard of the Apostolic Palace at
Castelgandolfo.

Commenting on today's reading from the Gospel of St. Mark, in which the
Pharisees reproach Jesus' disciples for not following the norms of Mosaic Law,
the Pope explained that God's Law "is His Word, which guides mankind along the
path of life, freeing them from the slavery of selfishness and introducing them
into the 'land' of authentic freedom and life. It is for this reason that, in
the Bible, the Law is not seen as a burden, ... but as the Lord's most precious
gift, ... (an expression of) His desire to remain alongside His people, and to
be their Ally".

Yet when the people settle in the Promised Land and become the depositories of
the Law, they are tempted "to place their safety and their happiness in
something which is no longer the Word of the Lord: in material goods and in
power, other 'divinities' which are, in fact, empty and futile idols. Of course,
the Law of God remains, but it is no longer so important, no longer the rule of
life; rather it becomes a facade, a covering, while life follows other paths,
other rules, often selfish individual and group interests. In this way religion
loses its authentic meaning ... and is reduced to a secondary habit which
satisfies the need human beings have to feel they have done right before God".

"This is a serious risk in every religion, one which Jesus encountered in His
own time, and unfortunately it can also arise in Christianity. Thus Jesus' words
in today's Gospel against the Scribes and Pharisees must make us think. Jesus
repeats the words of Isaiah: 'This people honours me with their lips, but their
hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as
doctrine'. ... In his Letter, the Apostle James also warns against the danger of
false religiosity", the Holy Father concluded.

After praying the Angelus, Benedict XVI greeted, among others, a group of
pilgrims from Lebanon, expressing his delight at the prospect of his forthcoming
visit to that country.

. MESSAGE OF THE POPE FOR THE FUNERAL OF CARDINAL MARTINI
---------------------------------------------------------------


Vatican City,  (VIS) - The Pope has sent a message to the archdiocese of Milan,
the Society of Jesus, the relatives of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, and "all
those who loved and esteemed (him) and have chosen to accompany him on his final
journey". The message was read out during the funeral of the late cardinal,
archbishop emeritus of Milan, Italy, by Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the Pope's
special envoy to the event.

"'Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path'. The Psalmist's words
encapsulate the entire existence of this generous and faithful pastor of the
Church. He lived as a man of God, who not only studied Sacred Scripture but
loved it intensely, making it the light of his life that all things might be 'ad
maiorem Dei gloriam', for the greater glory of God. It was for this reason that
he was able to teach believers and seekers after truth that the only word worthy
to listen to, accept and follow is that of God, because it leads everyone along
the path of truth and love. He lived with great openness of heart, never
rejecting encounter and dialogue with anyone, and giving a concrete response to
the Apostle’s invitation always 'to be ready to give an explanation to anyone
who asks you for a reason for your hope'. He lived with a spirit of profound
pastoral charity, in keeping with his own episcopal motto of 'Pro veritate
adversa diligere', attentive to all situations especially the most difficult,
and lovingly close to the lost, the poor and the suffering".

"May the Lord, who guided Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini throughout his life,
receive this tireless servant of the Gospel and of the Church in the heavenly
Jerusalem".

the month of August. It includes the Angelus, general and private audiences,
other pontifical acts, letters, messages, telegrams and other news. The
activities are presented in chronological order under their respective headings.

ANGELUS

hunger for meaning, cannot be "achieved" through human efforts, He comes to us

the Paschal Mystery of Christ. In Mary we contemplate the reality of the glory

. PRAYER IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 5 September 2012 (VIS) - Benedict XVI today resumed his general
audiences in the Vatican, having held them at Castelgandolfo during the month of
August. Meeting with faithful in the Paul VI Hall he turned his attention to
prayer in the Book of Revelation which, he explained, "presents us with the
living breathing prayer of the Christian assembly, gathered together 'on the
Lord's day'".

Revelation, Pope Benedict went on, "is a difficult book, but one of great
richness. ... In it a reader presents the assembly with a message entrusted by
God to John the Evangelist. ... From the dialogue between them a symphony of
prayer arises which is then developed in many different forms up until the
conclusion".

The first part of Revelation presents us with the assembly in prayer in three
successive phases. The first of these highlights how "prayer is, above all, a
listening to God Who speaks. Engulfed as we are by so many words we are little
used to listening, and especially to adopting an interior and exterior attitude
of silence so as to attend to what the Lord wishes to say to us. These verses
also teach us that our prayers, often merely prayers of request, must in fact be
first and foremost prayers of praise to God for His love, for the gift of Jesus
Christ which brought us strength, hope and salvation. ... God, Who reveals
Himself as the beginning and the end of the story, welcomes and takes to heart
the assembly's request".
This first phase also includes another important element. "Constant prayer
revives in us a sense of the Lord's presence in our life and history. His
presence supports us, guides us and gives us great hope. ... Prayer, even that
pronounced in the most extreme solitude, is never a form of isolation and it is
never sterile, it is a vital lymph which nourishes an increasingly committed and
coherent Christian existence".

In the second phase of the prayer of the assembly "the relationship with Jesus
Christ is developed further. The Lord makes Himself visible, He speaks and acts,
and the community, increasingly close to Him, listens, reacts and accepts".

In the third phase "the Church in prayer, accepting the word of the Lord, is
transformed. ... The assembly listens to the message, and receives a stimulus
for repentance, conversion, perseverance, growth in love and guidance for the
journey".

"The Revelation", Benedict XVI concluded, "presents us with a community gathered
in prayer, because it is in prayer that we gain an increasing awareness of
Jesus' presence with us and within us. The more and the better we prayer with
constancy and intensity, the more we are assimilated to Him, and the more He
enters into our lives to guide them and give them joy and peace. And the more we
know, love and follow Jesus, the more we feel the need to dwell in prayer with
Him, receiving serenity, hope and strength for our lives".

. IRREPLACEABLE ROLE OF THE LAY FAITHFUL IN MAKING AFRICA THE CONTINENT OF HOPE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 5 September 2012 (VIS) - Africa is called to be the "continent of
hope" says Benedict XVI in a letter written to Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko,
president of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, for the occasion of the Pan
African Congress for Catholic Laity. The congress is taking place in Yaounde,
Cameroon, from 4 to 9 September on the theme: "Being witnesses of Jesus Christ
in Africa today. 'Salt of the earth ... light of the World".

Hope, the Holy Father writes, "indicates the bright horizon which opens up
before the eyes of faith" despite the many spiritual and material problems
facing the African continent and the African Church. "Even the best traditional
values of African culture are today threatened by secularisation, which gives
rise to disorientation, rends the fibre of personal and social life, exacerbates
tribalism, violence and corruption in public life, leads to the humiliation and
exploitation of women and children, and increases poverty and hunger. To this
must be added the threat of fundamentalist terrorism which has recently targeted
Christian communities in a number of African countries".

In spite of all this, the people of Africa possess "a great wealth of spiritual
resources, which are very valuable in our time: love for life and the family, a
sense of joy and of sharing, enthusiasm in living their faith in the Lord. ...
Never let the dark mentality of relativism and nihilism, which affects various
parts of your world, open a breach in your lives", the Pope says. "With renewed
energy accept and spread the message of joy and of hope which Christ brings, a
message capable of purifying and strengthening the great values of your culture.
... Making Africa the 'continent of hope' must be the goal that guides the
mission of African lay faithful today, just as it must guide the congress you
are celebrating".

This mission "arises from the faith, a gift of God which must be welcomed,
nourished and developed, because 'we cannot accept that salt should become
tasteless or the light be kept hidden'. ... In this transformation of all
society, which is so urgent for Africa today, the lay faithful have an
irreplaceable role to play. ... Women and men, young and old, children, families
and all of society: today all of Africa awaits the 'ambassadors' of the Good
News". These ambassadors are "the lay faithful in parishes, ... ecclesial
movements and new communities, enamoured of Christ and the Church, full of joy
and gratitude for the Baptism they have received, courageous workers for peace
and announcers of authentic hope".

. MAN, THE CUSTODIAN OF CREATION
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - "Man, the Custodian of Creation" is the theme of the
twentieth International Ecumenical Congress of Orthodox Spirituality, which
began yesterday in the Italian monastery of Bose. The event is due to conclude
on 8 September.

"In the Christian tradition of both East and West, dwelling on the earth is a
task entrusted to mankind as custodians but also as guests of creation", reads a
communique on the event. This topic will be developed on the first day of the
congress in talks by Fr. Enzo Bianchi, prior of the monastic community of Bose,
and by His Eminence Metropolitan Ioannis (Zizioulas) of Pergamo, representative
of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. The Holy Father, through Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., has sent a telegram to participants,
expressing the hope that "the fraternal encounter and discussions of these days
may favour mutual knowledge and the sharing of faith, arousing and renewing a
joint commitment to protect God's gift of the creation".

The congress is being attended by representatives from the Orthodox Churches and
from the Catholic Church. Catholic representatives include Cardinal Roger
Etchegaray, vice dean of the College of Cardinals; Archbishop Antonio Mennini,
apostolic nuncio to Great Britain, and Bishop Mansueto Bianchi of Pistoia,
Italy, president of the Commission for Ecumenism and Inter-religious Dialogue of
the Italian Episcopal Conference. Also present will be representatives from the
Church of England and from the Reform Churches, the World Council of Churches
and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, as well as theologians
and academics from all over the world.

The communique continues: "During the four days of meetings and debates, which
are open to the public, speakers will examine the theological and spiritual
dimensions of man's relationship with his environment, seeking values capable of
inspiring responsible choices in the face of the ecological crisis, which has
been provoked by man himself and is causing irreversible damage to life on our
planet".

Orthodox Church teaching on ecological matters will be presented by Bishop
Amvrosij, rector of the Theological Academy of Saint Petersburg, while the
scholars John Behr of New York, Nestor Kavvadas of Tubingen and Assaad Elias
Kattan of Munster will speak on such subjects as: the goodness of creation
according to biblical narrative, the relationship between wounded and healed
nature and the history of salvation, and the understanding of the relationship
between human beings and the creation in the Fathers of the Church from Irenaeus
of Lyons to Maximus the Confessor.

Vatican City,  (VIS) - This morning in Castelgandolfo Benedict XVI received a

mission territories. The prelates are currently participating in a congress
organised by the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples.

In his remarks to them the Pope observed that all the communities they serve as
pastors - although in different situations in Africa, Asia, America or Oceania -
are "committed to initial evangelisation and the consolidation of the faith. ...
Your communities are almost all of recent foundation, and possess the merits and
defects associated with their brief history", he said. "The faith attracts high
levels of participation and joy, it is vivacious and creative but often not yet
well rooted. Enthusiasm and apostolic zeal alternate with episodes of
instability and incoherence. ... Nonetheless these Churches are maturing, thanks
to pastoral activity but thanks also to that gift of 'communio sanctorum' which
opens the way to an authentic osmosis of grace between ancient and recently
founded Churches, as well as between the Church in heaven and the pilgrim Church
on earth".

The Holy Father also turned his attention to the falling numbers of missionaries
which, he noted, is compensated by an increase in diocesan and regular clergy.
Thus the growing numbers of local priests produces "a new form of missionary
cooperation as some young Churches have begun sending their priests to sister
Churches who lack clergy, either within the same country or to other countries
on the same continent. This communion must always animate the work of
evangelisation", he said.

"The young Churches, then, represent a sign of hope for the future of the
universal Church. It is in this context, dear brethren, that I encourage you to
spare no efforts or courage in your pastoral activities. ... The Church is born
of the mission and grows with the mission. ... A correct inculturation of the
faith will help you to incarnate the Gospel in the cultures of peoples, and to
take from them what is good. This is a long and difficult process which must not
in any way compromise the specific nature and integrity of the Christian faith".

The Holy Father told the new bishops to "observe the world with the eyes of
faith, in order to understand it deeply; and have a generous heart, ready to
enter into communion with the women and men of our time. Do not fail in your
primary responsibility as men of God, called to prayer and to the service of the
Word for the benefit of the flock. ... The world today needs people who speak to
God in order to be able to speak of God. Only in this way will the Word of
salvation produce fruit".

"Your Churches well know the context of social instability which so worryingly
affects people's daily lives. Food, health and educational emergencies raise
questions before ecclesial communities and affect them directly. ... As well as
natural calamities, we see cultural and religious discrimination, ... the fruit
of fundamentalisms which are based on an incorrect view of man and which lead us
to undervalue, or ignore outright, the right to religious freedom and respect
for the weakest, especially children, women and people with disabilities.
Finally, mention must be made of re-emerging contrasts between ethnic groups and
castes, which lead to unjustifiable violence. Have faith in the Gospel, in its
power to renew, in its capacity to reawaken consciences and to work from within
to redeem people and create a new fraternity. Spreading the Word of the Lord
will cause the gift of reconciliation to flourish and favour the unity of
peoples".

In closing Benedict XVI highlighted the fact that "the faith is a gift to be
welcomed into our hearts and lives, one for which we must always thank the Lord.
But faith is donated in order to be shared; it is a talent given that it may
bear fruit, a light that must not remain hidden". And he concluded by calling on
the bishops "to be aware of the absolute priority of the task of
evangelisation".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. COLOMBIA: SOW THE GOSPEL TO REAP RECONCILIATION
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - "The history of Colombia is indelibly marked by the
profound Catholic faith of its its people, by their love for the Eucharist,
their devotion to the Virgin Mary and the witness of charity of outstanding
pastors and lay people. The announcement of the Gospel has produced fruit among
you", said the Holy Father to a second group of prelates from the Episcopal
Conference of Colombia, who have just completed their "ad limina" visit

Yet the Pope also noted how, in their reports, the bishops had drawn attention
to "the devastating effects of increasing secularisation, which is affecting
people's lifestyles and upsetting their scale of values, undermining the very
foundation of Catholic faith, of marriage, the family and Christian morals". In
this context, "tireless defence and promotion of the institution of the family
continues to be a pastoral priority for you", he said. "Therefore, amidst the
difficulties, I invite you not to lessen your efforts but to continue to
proclaim the integral truth about the family, founded on marriage as a domestic
Church and a shrine of life".

Benedict XVI then turned to focus on the Episcopal Conference of Colombia's
Global Plan (2012-2020) and its overall objective of "promoting the processes of
new evangelisation in order to form missionary disciples, encourage ecclesial
communion and modify society on the basis of Gospel values. ... I accompany this
intention with my prayers, asking God that, in putting it into effect, ministers
of the Church may never cease to identify themselves with the sentiments of
Christ, the Good Shepherd, going out to meet all people ... so as to offer them
the light of His Word. Thus the dynamism of interior renewal will lead your
compatriots to revitalise their love for the Lord, a source capable of infusing
steadfast hope to live the faith responsibly and joyfully, and irradiate it on
all sides".

The Pope went on to invite the bishops to consecrate "your best ministry to the
priests, deacons and religious under your care, ... helping them to discern the
truth of God's call that they may respond thereto with generosity and right
intention. In this context, it would be appropriate for you, following to
guidance of the Magisterium, to favour a revision of the content and methodology
of their formation, seeking to ensure that it responds to the challenges of the
present time and the urgent needs and requirements of the People of God".

Notwithstanding a number of hopeful signs, "violence continues to bring
suffering, solitude, death and injustice to many of our brothers and sisters in
Colombia", said the Holy Father. and he expressed his appreciation for "the
pastoral mission which, often in places beset with difficulties and dangers, is
being carried out in support of so many people who are unjustly suffering in
your beloved nation". Finally he exhorted the episcopate to continue "to defend
human life and cultivate peace, drawing inspiration from the example of our
Saviour and humbly entreating His grace. Sow the Gospel and you will reap
reconciliation, knowing that, wherever Christ reaches, harmony opens a way.
hatred gives place to forgiveness and rivalry is transformed into fraternity".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. POPE WRITES TO THE TWENTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL MEETING FOR PEACE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B. has
sent a message, in the name of the Holy Father, to Cardinal Vinko Puljic,
archbishop of Vrhbosna-Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which he greets
representatives of Churches, Christian communities and the great world
religions, "as well as the population of Sarajevo who are particularly dear to
him", and participants in the twenty-sixth International Meeting for Peace which
has been organised by the Sant'Egidio Community and its currently taking place
in that city.

"It is a source of joy and comfort to see that this pilgrimage for peace, which
was begun at Assisi in October 1986 by Blessed John Paul II, continues to bear
fruit", the cardinal writes. He likewise recalls how Benedict XVI relaunched,
also from Assisi, "the alliance between people of religion and others who feel
no sense of belonging to any religious tradition but who are sincerely seeking
the truth. He did so in the conviction that profound and sincere dialogue can
lead, for the former, to commitment to an ever necessary purification of the
religion they profess and, for the latter, to openness to the great questions
facing humankind and the Mystery which surrounds the life of man. In this way,
the joint pilgrimage towards truth can be translated into a joint pilgrimage
towards peace".

"The Holy Father", Cardinal Bertone concludes, "in the hope that the meeting
will prove fruitful, spiritually unities himself to all those present, in the
certainty that the Lord, Father of all mankind, will continue to guide us along
the paths of peace and of peaceful encounter between peoples".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. ANGELUS: JESUS CAME TO OPEN THE HEART OF MAN
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City, 9 September 2012 (VIS) - Before praying the Angelus at midday
today. Benedict XVI focused some remarks on what he described as "a word which,
in its most profound meaning, sums up the whole message and work of Christ. ...
That word is 'ephphatha', which means 'be opened'".

The Pope recalled how Jesus was crossing the region known as the "Decapolis",
between the coastal area of Tyre and Sidon and Galilee, when He was presented
with a deaf man to heal. Christ touched his ears and tongue and, looking up to
heaven, pronounced the word 'ephphatha'. Immediately the man was able to hear
and speak. "This deaf man, thanks to Jesus’ intervention, 'was opened'", the
Holy Father explained. "Before he had been closed, insulated, it was very
difficult for him to communicate; his healing was an 'opening' to others and the
world, an opening that, starting from the organs of hearing and speech, involved
his entire person and life: Finally he was able to communicate, and thus to
relate to others in a new way".

"Yet", the Pope added, "we all know that man's closure and isolation do not
depend solely on the organs of sense. There is an inner closure which concerns
the deepest core of the person, what the Bible calls the 'heart'. This is what
Jesus came to 'open', to liberate, so as to enable us to live our relationship
with God and with others to the full.

"That is why I said that this little word, 'ephphatha' - be opened, sums up
Christ’s entire mission. He became man so that man, made inwardly deaf and dumb
by sin, would become able to hear the voice of God, the voice of love speaking
to his heart, and so he would learn to speak in the language of love, to
communicate with God and with others".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. LEBANON WE MUST NOT RESIGN OURSELVES TO VIOLENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 9 September 2012 (VIS) - After praying the Angelus today the Pope,
speaking French and Arabic, spoke of his imminent apostolic trip to Lebanon,
where he is due to sign the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of the Special
Assembly for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops, which took place in the
Vatican in October 2010.

"I will have the happy opportunity to meet the people and the authorities of
Lebanon, as well as the Christians of that dear country, and those who have come
from nearby States", he said. "I am not unaware of the often dramatic situation
being experienced by the peoples of that region which, for too long, has been
rent by incessant conflict. I understand the anguish of many inhabitants of the
Middle East, who are daily immersed in suffering of all kinds which sadly and
sometimes fatally affects their individual and family lives. My thoughts go to
those who, in search of safe refuge, abandon their family and professional lives
to experience the precarious existence of the refugee. Although it seems
difficult to find solutions to the various problems affecting the region, we
must not resign ourselves to the violence and kindling of tensions. Commitment
to dialogue and reconciliation must be be the priority for all sides involved,
and it must be supported by the international community which is becoming
increasingly aware of the importance that stable and lasting peace in the region
has for the whole world. My apostolic trip to Lebanon, and by extension to the
entire Middle East, comes about under the sign of peace and with reference to
Christ's words: 'My peace I give to you'. May God bless Lebanon and the Middle
East".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. TEN CITY SQUARES FOR TEN COMMANDMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 9 September 2012 (VIS) - "Ten City Squares for Ten Commandments"
is the title of an initiative, which is being promoted by the Renewal in the
Holy Spirit Association and was inaugurated this evening in Rome's Piazza del
Popolo. The initiative involves a series of evangelisation meetings which will
take place throughout the year in various Italian cities. The Pope sent
participants a video message which was projected on giant screens set up in
Piazza del Popolo.

"What significance do these Ten Words have for us in our current cultural
context, in which secularism and relativism risk becoming the criteria for all
choices, and in our society which seems to live as if God did not exist?", the
Holy Father asked. "Our answer is that God gave us the Commandments to educate
us in true freedom and authentic love, that we might be truly happy. They are a
sign of love of God the Father, of his desire to teach us true discernment of
good from evil, of truth from falsehood, of justice from injustice. They can be
understood by everyone, precisely because they translate fundamental values into
concrete norms and rules; and by practising them man is able to follow the path
of true freedom, ... which leads to life and happiness.

"When he fails to do this", Benedict XVI added, "when in his life man ignores
the Commandments, not only does he alienate himself from God and abandon the
covenant with Him, but he also abandons life and lasting happiness. Man left to
himself, indifferent to God, proud of his own absolute autonomy, ends up
pursuing the idols of selfishness, power and domination, poisoning his
relationship with himself and others, and following not the path of life but the
path of death. The sad experience of history, especially last century, stands as
a warning for all humankind. ... With His cross and resurrection Jesus brought
the Commandments to fullness, radically overcoming selfishness, sin and death
with the gift of Himself for love. Accepting the infinite love of God, having
faith in Him and following the path He has laid down is the only thing that
gives profound meaning to life and opens the way to a future of hope".

---------------------------------------------------------------
. MARIOLOGY SINCE VATICAN COUNCIL II
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - "Mariology since Vatican Council II: reception, outcomes
and prospects" is the theme of the twenty-third International Mariological
Congress. Receiving the participants this morning at Castelgandolfo, the Holy
Father highlighted the appropriateness of the theme in light of the fact that 11
October this year will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the
Council.

The Pope, who himself participated in Vatican Council II as a young theologian,
turned his attention to chapter eight of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church
"Lumen Gentium", entitled: "The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in the
Mystery of Christ and the Church". Therein "the figure of Mary - re-examined and
reinterpreted from the point of view of the Word of God, the texts of patristic
and liturgical tradition, and a broad-ranging theological and spiritual
reflection - emerges in all her beauty and uniqueness, closely enclosed within
the fundamental mysteries of the Christian faith.

"Mary, whose faith is emphasised above all else, is part of the mystery of love
and communion of the Blessed Trinity", Benedict XVI added. "Her participation in
the divine plan of salvation and the unique mediation of Christ is clearly
affirmed and given its correct import, thus making it a model and a point of
reference for the Church which, in her, recognises herself, her vocation and her
mission. Popular piety, which has always looked to Mary, is likewise nourished
by biblical and patristic references.

"Of course the conciliar text was not able to cover all the questions concerning
the Mother of God, but it does provide an essential interpretative horizon for
all subsequent reflection, both the theological and the purely spiritual and
pastoral. Moreover, it represents a valuable and highly necessary point of
equilibrium between theological rationality and the emotion of belief".

The Pope concluded: "The unique figure of the Mother of God must be understood
and studied from different and complementary standpoints. While the 'via
veritas' remains valid and necessary, we cannot but also follow the 'via
pulchritudinis' and the 'via amoris', in order to discover and contemplate ever
more profoundly Mary's firm and crystalline faith, her love for God and her
unshakeable hope".

. PASTORAL CARE OF THE ROAD/STREET IN AFRICA
---------------------------------------------------------------


Vatican City,  (VIS) - "The Pastoral Care of the Road/Street: A walk together"
is to be the theme of the first Integrated Meeting for the Pastoral Care of the
Road/Street for the Continent of Africa and Madagascar, due to take place in
Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania from 11 to 15 September. The event has been organised by
the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant Peoples,
in collaboration with Tanzania's Episcopal Commission for Migrants and Itinerant
Peoples.

The aim of the meeting is to promote pastoral initiatives and programmes in
local Churches for the benefit for people who live on or from the road/street.
This includes street women and children, people of no fixed abode, transport
workers and those responsible for road safety.

Opening addresses will be made by Cardinal Polycarp Pengo, archbishop of
Dar-es-Salaam, and Archbishop Francisco Padilla, apostolic nuncio to Tanzania

. MAN, THE CUSTODIAN OF CREATION
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 6 September 2012 (VIS) - "Man, the Custodian of Creation" is the
theme of the twentieth International Ecumenical Congress of Orthodox
Spirituality, which began yesterday in the Italian monastery of Bose. The event
is due to conclude on 8 September.

"In the Christian tradition of both East and West, dwelling on the earth is a
task entrusted to mankind as custodians but also as guests of creation", reads a
communique on the event. This topic will be developed on the first day of the
congress in talks by Fr. Enzo Bianchi, prior of the monastic community of Bose,
and by His Eminence Metropolitan Ioannis (Zizioulas) of Pergamo, representative
of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. The Holy Father, through Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., has sent a telegram to participants,
expressing the hope that "the fraternal encounter and discussions of these days
may favour mutual knowledge and the sharing of faith, arousing and renewing a
joint commitment to protect God's gift of the creation".

The congress is being attended by representatives from the Orthodox Churches and
from the Catholic Church. Catholic representatives include Cardinal Roger
Etchegaray, vice dean of the College of Cardinals; Archbishop Antonio Mennini,
apostolic nuncio to Great Britain, and Bishop Mansueto Bianchi of Pistoia,
Italy, president of the Commission for Ecumenism and Inter-religious Dialogue of
the Italian Episcopal Conference. Also present will be representatives from the
Church of England and from the Reform Churches, the World Council of Churches
and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, as well as theologians
and academics from all over the world.

The communique continues: "During the four days of meetings and debates, which
are open to the public, speakers will examine the theological and spiritual
dimensions of man's relationship with his environment, seeking values capable of
inspiring responsible choices in the face of the ecological crisis, which has
been provoked by man himself and is causing irreversible damage to life on our
planet".

Orthodox Church teaching on ecological matters will be presented by Bishop
Amvrosij, rector of the Theological Academy of Saint Petersburg, while the
scholars John Behr of New York, Nestor Kavvadas of Tubingen and Assaad Elias
Kattan of Munster will speak on such subjects as: the goodness of creation
according to biblical narrative, the relationship between wounded and healed
nature and the history of salvation, and the understanding of the relationship
between human beings and the creation in the Fathers of the Church from Irenaeus
of Lyons to Maximus the Confessor.



* * *

---------------------------------------------------------------
. AUDIENCES
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City, 6 September 2012 (VIS) - The Holy Father today received in
audience:
- Irena Vaisvilaite, the new ambassador of Lithuania to the Holy See, for the
presentation of her Letters of Credence.

.  ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF ROMAN CATHOLIC NEWS
---------------------------------------------------------------


Beloved

Eleven years ago Roman Catholic News was founded to provide greater visibility
of the Roman Catholic Church on the internet and give undistorted news and
information to our readers and the public. It was founded on the birthday of Our
Lady, three days before the day of infamy of the disaster of the World Trade
Center in New York City, New York.

Historically, Roman Catholic News is inextricably linked to monumental events in
world history. This is a fate bestowed on it through the natural flow of human
events and divine providence. With this backdrop of our humble origin it allows
us to realize that the most monumental events of human history are those of Our
Lord Jesus Christ and His operations to this day through His Holy Catholic and
Apostolic Church.

On the seventh day of Roman Catholic News we celebrate the Triumph of the Cross,
September 14th. This year our Holy Father, Benedict XVI will be in Lebanon, a
country which this editor calls home. Currently, I am not in Lebanon but in
another country, wishing I could be there when Pope Benedict XVI makes his
pilgrimage to the Holy Land of Lebanon where Jesus also lived, preached, healed
the sick and called the twelve apostles in the area around Tyre and Sidon. Let
us all pray for the success of the Pope's sojourn to Lebanon, and keep him daily
in our prayers.

Thank you for your subscription and readership. We are here to help spread the
mission of the Catholic Church and bring the light of Christ to a world darkened
by sin.

In Jesus and Mary,
John N. Lupia, III,  Editor

. NO PRAYER IS EVER LOST
---------------------------------------------------------------


Vatican City,  (VIS) - During his general audience, held this morning in the
Paul VI Hall, Benedict XVI focused his catechesis on prayer in the second part
of the Book of Revelation in which, he noted, attention moves from the interior
life of the Church "to the entire world, because the Church advances through
history and is a part thereof".

In this second part of Revelation, the Christian assembly is called "to
undertake a profound interpretation of the history in which it lives, learning
to discern events with faith so that, through its actions, it may collaborate in
the advancement of the kingdom of God. Such interpretation, discernment and
action are closely associated with prayer".

The assembly is invited to ascend unto heaven "in order to see reality with the
eyes of God". There, according to St. John's narrative, we find three symbols
with which to interpret history: the throne, the scroll and the Lamb. On the
throne sits Almighty God "Who has not remained isolated in heaven but has
approached man and entered into a covenant with him". The scroll "contains God's
plan for history and mankind, but it is hermetically sealed with seven seals and
no one can read it. ... Yet there is a remedy to man's confusion before the
mystery of history. Someone is able to open the scroll and illuminate him".

That someone appears in the third symbol: "Christ, the Lamb, Who was immolated
in the sacrifice of the cross but stands in sign of His resurrection. The Lamb,
Christ, Who died and rose again, will progressively open the seals so as to
reveal the plan of God, the profound meaning of history".

These symbols, the Pope explained, "remind us of the path we must follow to
interpret the events of history and of our own lives. Raising our gaze to God's
heaven in an unbroken relationship with Christ, ... in individual and community
prayer, we learn to see things in a new way and to grasp their most authentic
significance". The Lord invites the Christian community "to a realistic
examination of the present time in which they are living. The Lamb then opens
the first four seals of the scroll and the Church sees the world of which she is
part; a world containing ... the evils accomplished by man, such as violence ...
and injustice, ... to which must be added the evils man suffers such as death,
hunger, and sickness".

"In the face of these often dramatic issues the ecclesial community is invited
never to lose hope, but to remain firm in the belief that the apparent
omnipotence of the Evil One in fact comes up against true omnipotence, that of
God". St. John speaks of the white horse, which symbolises that "the power of
God has entered man's history, a power capable not only of counterbalancing
evil, but also of overcoming it. ... God became so close as to descend into the
darkness of death and illuminate it with the splendour of divine life. He took
the evil of the world upon Himself to purify it with the fire of His love".

The Holy Father went on: "How can we progress in this Christian interpretation
of reality? The Book of Revelation tells us that prayer nourishes this vision of
light and profound hope in each one of us and in our communities. ... The Church
lives in history, she is not closed in herself but courageously faces her
journey amidst difficulties and sufferings, forcefully affirming that evil does
not defeat good, that darkness does not shade God's splendour. This is an
important point for us too: as Christians we can never be pessimists. ...
Prayer, above all, educates us to see the signs of God, His presence and His
action; or rather, it educates us to become lights of goodness, spreading hope
and indicating that the victory is God's".

At the end of the vision an angel places grains of incense in a censer then
throws it upon the earth. Those grains represent our prayers, the Pope said.
"and we can be sure that there is no such thing as a superfluous or useless
prayer. No prayer is lost. ... God is not oblivious to our prayers. ... When
faced with evil we often have the sensation that we can do nothing, but our
prayers are in fact the first and most effective response we can give, they
strengthen our daily commitment to goodness. The power of God makes our weakness
strong".

Vatican City,  (VIS) - At the end of his general audience today, the Holy Father
spoke of his forthcoming apostolic trip to Lebanon, where he is due to sign the
Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of the Special Assembly for the Middle East
of the Synod of Bishops.

"At this hour in two days' time", he said, "I will be on a plane bound for
Lebanon. I rejoice at this apostolic trip which will enable me to meet many
members of Lebanese society: the civil and ecclesiastical authorities, Catholic
faithful of various rites, other Christians, and the Muslims and Druze of the
region. I thank the Lord for this rich variety, which will be able to continue
only if people live in permanent peace and reconciliation. For this reason I
exhort all Christians of the Middle East, both those born there and the newly
arrived, to be builders of peace and architects of reconciliation. Let us pray
to God that He may fortify the faith of Christians in Lebanon and the Middle
East, and fill them with hope. I thank God for their presence and call upon the
entire Church to show solidarity, that they may continue to bear witness to
Christ in those blessed lands, seeking communion in unity. I thank God for all
the individuals and institutions who, in many ways, help them to do so. The
history of the Middle East teaches us the important and sometimes primordial
role. played by the various Christian communities in inter-religious and
inter-cultural dialogue Let us ask God to give that region of the world its
longed-for peace, and respect for legitimate differences. May God bless Lebanon
and the Middle East. May God bless you".

. DECLARATION BY HOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE DIRECTOR
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Given below is the text of a declaration made by Holy See
Press Office Director Fr. Federico Lombardi following episodes of violence in
the Libyan city of Benghazi yesterday.

"Profound respect for the beliefs, texts, outstanding figures and symbols of the
various religions is an essential precondition for the peaceful coexistence of
peoples. The serious consequences of unjustified offence and provocations
against the sensibilities of Muslim believers are once again evident in these
days, as we see the reactions they arouse, sometimes with tragic results, which
in their turn nourish tension and hatred, unleashing unacceptable violence.

"The message of dialogue and respect for all believers of different religions,
which the Holy Father is preparing to carry with him on his forthcoming trip to
Lebanon, indicate the path that everyone should follow in order to construct
shared and peaceful coexistence among religions and peoples".

. DEVELOPMENT OF EVERY PERSON AND OF THE WHOLE PERSON IS THE HEART OF
EVANGELISATION
---------------------------------------------------------------



Vatican City,  (VIS) - Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B. has
sent a letter, in the Holy Father's name, to Cardinal Polycarp Pengo, archbishop
of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, for the opening of the first Integrated Meeting for
the Pastoral Care of the Road/Street for the Continent of Africa and Madagascar,
which is currently taking place in that city.

"As the Synod Fathers at the two Special Assemblies for Africa of the Synod of
Bishops prophetically acknowledged, the Church's concern for the development of
every person and the whole person, especially of the poorest and most neglected,
is at the heart of her mission of evangelisation in Africa", the
English-language text reads.

"His Holiness trusts that the present meeting will lead to greater cooperation
and coordinated efforts among the particular Churches for the sake of
safeguarding every life at risk on African streets and roads. He asks that
special attention be paid to the pastoral needs of those women and children who
find themselves on the streets, whether as a result of concrete social, economic
and political factors, or as victims of organised national and international
exploiters. He is likewise confident that the meeting will address situations
affecting the lives of those who travel in their work and, not least, the road
insecurity which threatens the lives of millions on African soil.

"With these sentiments, the Holy Father offers fervent prayers that the meeting
will confirm the Church in Africa and Madagascar in its witness to the Gospel
and its contribution to the building up of civil society and to the forging of a
new Africa".

---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Given below is the text of a declaration made by Holy See
Press Office Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J., concerning the recent attack
against the United States consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi.

"The very serious attack organised against the United States diplomatic mission
in Libya, which led to the death of the ambassador and of other functionaries,
calls for the firmest possible condemnation on the part of the Holy See.
Nothing, in fact, can justify the activity of terrorist organisations and
homicidal violence. Along with our sadness, mourning and prayers for the
victims, we again express the hope that, despite this latest tragedy, the
international community may discover the most favourable ways to continue its
commitment in favour of peace in Libya and the entire Middle East".

. BEIRUT: A CITY, FIVE DIOCESES AND AN APOSTOLIC VICARIATE
---------------------------------------------------------------




Vatican City,  (VIS) - Tomorrow Benedict XVI is due to begin his twenty-fourth
apostolic trip abroad, taking him to Lebanon where, in the country's capital
city of Beirut on Sunday, he is due to sign the Post-Synodal Apostolic
Exhortation of the Special Assembly for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops,
which took place in the Vatican in October 2010.

The name of Beirut is thought to be Canaanite in origin (bis'rot, the plural of
bir meaning a well, a reference to the water tables under the city). The city is
mentioned in Egyptian chronicles of the second millennium BC and became famous
for the activities of Phonecian sailors and merchants. In the year 14 BC it
obtained the status of Roman colony and took the name of Julia Augusta Felix
Berytus. Destroyed by an earthquake and tidal wave in 551 AD, the city was in
ruins when the Muslims arrived in 635. It was conquered by the Crusaders in 1110
and, following their definitive expulsion in 1229, passed under the control of
the Mameluks, becoming an important regional port for the spice trade with the
Italian Maritime Republics of Venice and Genoa.

The city was occupied by the Ottomans in 1516 and in subsequent centuries its
population grew steadily due to its commercial importance. Following the
massacres in Mount Lebanon in 1860 the city witnessed a massive influx of
Christian refugees. Pacification, brought about by the Great Powers, was
followed by the arrival of Protestant missionaries (from Great Britain, the
United States and Germany) and Catholic missionaries (above all, from France).
The American Protestants founded the American University of Beirut in 1866,
while the Jesuits established the Universite Saint-Joseph in 1881. Thanks to the
development of printing in Arabic, English and French, Beirut became a hub for
journalism and publishing in the Arab world.

At the end of World War I, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Lebanon fell
under the French mandate. It gained independence in 1943 and, thanks to a
prevailing atmosphere of intellectual openness and economic liberalism, became a
regional centre for trade, business, finance and tourism, gaining the sobriquet
of the "Switzerland of the Middle East". The expulsion of the Palestine
Liberation Organisation from Jordan in 1970 was a key moment in the country's
history, as the organisation's political and military centre moved to Lebanon
where it became a catalyst for the tensions between the various religious
communities. The Civil War between 1975 and 1991 wreaked widespread destruction
on the economy and infrastructures.

The scale of the destruction meant that the centre of the city had to be almost
completely rebuilt. In the absence of an official census, it is estimated that
the inhabitants of "Greater Beirut" currently number around 1.5 million,
slightly less than half the population of the entire country.

Beirut has five dioceses: Beirut of the Maronites (episcopal see since 1577), an
archieparchy with some 232,000 faithful under the care of Archbishop Paul
Youssef Matar. Beirut of the Greek-Melkites (dating from the fourth century) and
Jbeil of the Greek-Melkites (suburbicarian 1881), a metropolitan see with
200,000 faithful under Archbishop Cyril Salim Bustros. Beirut of the Armenians
(1928-1929), metropolitan see and patriarchal eparchy of Cilicia of the
Armenians, serving 12,000 faithful and led by His Beatitude Nerses Bedros XIX
Tarmouni, patriarch of Cilicia of the Armenians. Beirut of the Chaldeans (1957)
with 19,000 faithful under Bishop Michel Kassarji. Beirut of the Syrians (1817),
eparchy of the patriarchal church of Antioch of the Syrians with 14.500 faithful
under the care of His Beatitude Ignace Youssif III Younan, patriarch of Antioch
of the Syrians.

The city also has one apostolic vicariate, that of Beirut of the Latins which
has 10,000 faithful and the vicar of which is Archbishop Paul Dahdah O.C.D.

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Roman-Catholic-News/message/117>



. MAMA GILI GUILD

The Mama Gili Guild was established several years ago to gather,
collect, and publish information on Dolores Immacolata Gili
(1892-1985) for an investigation into her cause as a Servant of God,
as well as to promote her cause and to perpetuate her cult by
directing prayer groups assembled in her honor. It has continuously
enjoyed the ecclesiastical approval of Theodore Cardinal McCarrick,
and the Most Reverend John Joseph Myers, Archbishop of Newark, New
Jersey.

Get a copy of the book about Mama Gili written by her eldest daughter
Claudia (now deceased). Claudia Gili Phaneuf, Dolores Immacolata Gili:
Mama Gili (Mama Gili Guild, 1989). The 2005 Edition is available from
the Mama Gili Guild by contacting Fr. Dante: address and phone number
below. The cost of the book, last time I checked, was $5.00 plus
postage.

Call or write today regarding favors granted through the intercession
of Dolores Immacolata "Mama" Gili," or, for more information about the
book and the cause of her investigation for canonization to:

clinging to her robes while walking down a dusty and busy crowded
street and you will always be safe."
