Meeting of the Council of Cardinals: "Free, frank, and friendly"
Vatican
City, 4 July 2014 (VIS) – The Council of Cardinals, gathered at the
Domus Sanctae Marthae, will conclude its meetings this evening. The next
sessions have been scheduled for 15-17 September, 9-11 December and
9-11 February 2015.
With
regard to the themes considered, as well as those indicated in recent
days (the Governorate, the Secretariat of State and the Institute for
the Works of Religion), the Council resumed its reflections on the
dicasteries of the Curia. The Laity and Family were studied in
particular depth, especially in terms of the contributions and roles
that should be assumed by laypeople, married couples and women.
Decisions
were not made, but more detailed proposals were offered that will
subsequently be inserted into the overall framework of the new
configuration of the Curia.
This
afternoon the Council will continue its meeting, turning its attention
to the dicasteries that have so far been studied less thoroughly.
Other
themes on which there has been an exchange of opinions during the
meetings include the nunciatures and their work, and the procedures for
the appointment of bishops.
Aside
from the contribution of the Commission of Cardinals for the
Supervision of the IOR, heard on Tuesday and Wednesday, there was no
further participation from entities external to the Council.
With
regard to the working atmosphere and approach, the participants have
expressed great satisfaction. The overall tone has been described as
“free, frank and friendly” (the “3Fs”). The Pope participates naturally
in the dialogue, promoting a climate of free expression.
There
are still no texts that may be considered as drafts of the new
Constitution, since the work proceeds in the form of partial
contributions, generally presented by individual Cardinals charged with
the task of studying specific matters.
