Summary:
- SECOND DAY OF THE C8 MEETING: REPORT OF THE COMMISSION FOR THE IOR
___________________________________________________________
SECOND DAY OF THE C8 MEETING: REPORT OF THE COMMISSION FOR THE IOR
Vatican City, 18 February 2014 (VIS) -; This morning a press conference was
held during which Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., director of the Holy See Press
Office, gave a briefing on the second meeting of the Holy Father and the
Council of Cardinals
(C8). The meeting was also attended by Archbishop Pietro Parolin, secretary of
State, who will participate at all times, although he will be absent from this
afternoon's session due to an official appointment at the Italian embassy to
the Holy See.
Fr. Lombardi communicated that yesterday afternoon the Council reflected on
the results of the Commission for Reference on the the Organisation of the
Economic-Administrative Structure of the Holy See (COSEA), presented during
the preceding morning
session. The president of the Commission, Joseph F.X. Zahra, was the only
member of the Commission present. Msgr. Alfred Xuereb also attended today's
meeting in his role as the papal delegate to the Pontifical Commission for
Reference on the Institute
of Works of Religion.
The day's events began, as usual, at 7 a.m. with the celebration of Holy Mass
in the Domus Sanctae Marthae chapel; the meeting started at 9.30 a.m. in the
same room where yesterday's gathering was held. The morning was spent hearing
the representatives
of the Pontifical Commission for Reference on the Institute for Works of
Religion (IOR), instituted by chirograph on 24 June 2013. This Commission was
the result of the Holy Father's wish to acquire a better knowledge of the
legal position and the
activities of the Institute to enable greater harmonisation of the latter with
the mission of the Universal Church and the Apostolic See, within the broader
context of reforms involving some of the Institutions which offer support to
the Apostolic See.
Its task is to gather information on the functioning of the Institute and to
report the results to the Pontiff.
The session was attended by Cardinal Raffaele Farina, president; Cardinal
Jean-Louis Tauran, member; Bishop Juan Ignacio Arrieta Ochoa de Chinchetru,
coordinator; and Msgr. Peter Bryan Wells, secretary. Professor Mary Ann
Glendon was not present as she
does not reside in Rome.
The Commission presented the work carried out during these months, which was
received with great interest by the cardinals, and provided information on the
current situation of the Institute and the problems that it must face.
Suggestions were offered
for future changes, although no decisions were made following the hearing. One
of the key points was the mission of the IOR in relation to the action of the
Church in the world and not only from the perspective of economic performance.
Fr. Lombardi commented that it is important to bear in mind, considering the
work of the two Commissions, that their aims are different but that they both
fit into the contextual reality of the Holy See; for this reason the Holy
Father wishes to obtain
an overall view with regard to the reorganisation of its governance and
structures.
The meeting will continue this afternoon, and tomorrow the C8 Council of
Cardinals will with the Council of Fifteen. Due to the large number of
attendees, the Wednesday meeting will not be held in the room in the Domus
Sanctae Marthae, but is instead
likely to be held in the Apostolic Palace.
