POPE'S FINAL ACTIVITIES, POSSIBILITY OF A MOTU PROPRIO, RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
SOCIETY OF ST. PIUS X
Vatican City, 21 February 2013 (VIS) – This morning Fr. Federico
Lombardi, director of the Holy See Press Office, presented information related
to the Holy Father's calendar and clarified some issues that have been raised
in the past few days.
At 9:00am on Saturday, 23 February, the Holy Father and the Roman Curia will
conclude their spiritual exercises. Traditionally, the Pope addresses those
present briefly. That same day, at 11:30am, he will meet with the President of
the Italian Republic
Giorgio Napolitano. On Sunday, 24 February, Benedict XVI will pray the last
Angelus of his pontificate with the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square.
On Wednesday, 27 February, Benedict XVI's final general audience will take
place in St. Peter's
Square in the usual fashion, except for his re-entry to the Apostolic Palace,
the path of which will wind around the square in the popemobile so that he may
greet the many participants who are expected (to date, over 30,000 people have
requested
tickets). On 28 February, as announced in a notice from the Papal Household,
he will personally greet all the cardinals present in Rome, that is, both
those who are resident here and those who have come to the capitol in recent
days. There wi
ll be
no speech.
Regarding his departure from the Vatican, shortly before 5:00pm, the Pope will
greet Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., in the San Damaso
Courtyard and, upon reaching the Vatican heliport, will bid farewell to
Cardinal Angelo Sodano,
dean of the College of Cardinals. On arrival at Castel Gandolfo he will be
received by the president and secretary of the Governorate of Vatican City,
the mayor of the town, and other civil authorities and will appear at the
balcony of the Apostolic
Palace to greet the faithful present.
On a different topic, the director of the Holy See Press Office has stated
that the date of the conclave is established by the congregation of cardinals
during the Sede vacante, independently of a possible Motu Proprio from the
Holy Father that could
specify some details of the Apostolic Constitution "Universi Dominici Gregis".
Regarding the issue of the Society of St. Pius X, he reaffirmed that the date
of 22 February to decide the issue is pure hypothesis and that Benedict XVI
has decided to entrust the matter to the next Pope, therefore, a definition of
relations with that
society should not be expected by the end of this pontificate.
In conclusion, he confirmed that the Commission of Cardinals (Julian Herranz,
Jozef Tomko, and Salvatore De Giorgi) set up by the Holy Father to prepare a
report on the Holy See has made its results known exclusively to the Pope. The
cardinals will not
grant interviews or otherwise comment on the results.
