Vatican City, Dec 24, 2016 / 03:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis noted how the coming of Jesus as an infant is paradoxical to the images of grandeur that had accompanied the prophesies on the coming of the Messiah, saying this should challenges us to go beyond the ephemeral and focus on what really counts.“If we want to celebrate Christmas authentically, we need to contemplate this sign: the fragile simplicity of a small newborn, the meekness of where he lies, the tender affection of the swaddling clothes. God is there,” the Pope said Dec. 24.This is the “enduring sign to find Jesus,” he said. “Not just then, but also today.”He noted how the day’s Gospel reading revealed “a paradox,” speaking of the emperor and mighty people of those times, yet God doesn’t manifest himself there.Jesus “does not appear in the grand hall of a royal palace, but in the poverty of a stable; not in pomp and show, but i...

Vatican City, Dec 24, 2016 / 10:04 am (CNA).- If there's anything Pope Francis' recent 12-point plan for the reform of the Roman Curia shows, it's that while his vision of a simple, less clerical body is clear, it's contingent on one thing: conversion.In a Dec. 22 speech to members of the Curia, the Pope, before outlining his guide to reform, stressed that “the reform will be effective only if it is carried out with men and women who are renewed and not simply new.”Merely changing staff and structures is not enough, he said, calling for the “spiritual, human and professional renewal among the members of the Curia.”Reform, he said, “is in no way implemented with a change of persons – something that certainly is happening and will continue to happen – but with a conversion in persons.”“What we need also and above all is permanent conversion and purification. Without a change of mentality, efforts at practical improv...
Vatican City, Dec 24, 2016 / 10:41 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Two days after the announcement that Pope Francis has established a group to look into the circumstances regarding the recent dismissal of the Order of Malta's former Grand Chancellor, the Knights responded – saying the decision was an internal matter.The response follows the forced resignation of leader Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager, which some attribute to controversy regarding the order's charity branch being allegedly involved in distributing condoms in Myanmar to prevent HIV.On Dec. 22 the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had formed a group of five “senior officials” tasked with “gathering any liable factors” and to “fully and quickly inform the Holy See on the matter that has recently affected the Grand Chancellor of the Order, Mr. Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager.”Members of the group include Archbishop Silvestro Tomasi, Fr. Gianfranco Ghirlanda S.J., Belgian lawyer...
