POPE NOTES 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN XXIII'S "PACEM IN TERRIS"
Vatican City, 11 April 2013 (VIS) - This afternoon in the Clementine Hall of
the Vatican, Pope Francis received members of the "Papal Foundation" during
their annual visit to Rome. The "Papal Foundation" is an organization
based in the United States, with headquarters near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
that was established by Cardinal John Krol (1910-1996) to provide the Holy See
with a stable source of income to finance the needs of the Church in the world.
"In the twenty-five years that have passed since the Foundation was
established," the Holy Father affirmed, "you and your associates have helped
the Successor of Saint Peter by supporting a number of apostolates and
charities
especially close to his heart. In these years, you have contributed
significantly to the growth of local Churches in developing countries by
supporting, among other things, the continuing formation of their clergy and
religious, the provision of
shelter, medical assistance and care to the poor and needy, and the creation
of much-needed educational and employment opportunities."
The Holy Father noted that today is the 50th anniversary of John XXIII's
encyclical "Pacem in Terris" and he asked that this opportunity "serve as an
incentive for your commitment to promoting reconciliation and peace at every
level."

HOLY FATHER'S CONDOLENCES ON DEATH OF CARDINAL LORENZO ANTONETTI
Vatican City, 11 April 2013 (VIS) - Following is the text of the telegram that
the Holy Father Francis has sent to Bishop Franco Giulio Brambilla of Novara,
Italy for the death yesterday at dawn of Cardinal Lorenzo Antonetti, president
emeritus of
the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See and former delegate
to the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Cardinal Antonetti was
90 years old.
"On hearing the sad news of the death of the venerable Cardinal Lorenzo
Antonetti, I wish to express my sentiments of deep sympathy to this diocesan
community, which counted him among its most illustrious sons, as well as to
his nephew Mario, to
his other family members and their respective families, and to all those who
knew and esteemed him. I recall the lamented cardinal who was a zealous
collaborator of the Holy See for many years, in particular as a pontifical
representative in various
countries, then as president of the Administration of the Patrimony of the
Apostolic See, and finally as delegate to the Patriarchal Basilica of St.
Francis of Assisi: everywhere he was an appreciated witness of priestly zeal
and fidelity to the Gospel.
I pray fervently to the Lord Jesus that He, through the Virgin Mary, may give
the late cardinal the eternal reward promised to his faithful disciples. I
send you and all those who share the sorrow of his passing, the comfort of a
spec
 ial
apostolic blessing."
