Page 2 The Vine December 2014 Getting into print Turin An ecumenical invitation Bishop Peter has issued a unique invitation to all parishes and all our ecumenical friends to join him in our Cathedral on 21 st Jan. 2015 at 7.30 p.m. to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the Vatican Council’s decree on Christian Unity. Also invited are the local leaders of Christian denominations who have churches in our diocese, as well as Dr. David Cornick, the General Secretary of Churches Together in England. At the Service, Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham will preach. For many years he was the Catholic Ecumenical Officer for England and Wales, and so will speak from his inside knowledge. Catholics are asked to bring their non-Catholic relations, friends, and partners with them to the event. Posters about this are being sent to all parishes, so it is hoped that the whole diocese will be represented. Fr. James Cassidy, C.R.I.C., the Diocesan Ecumenical Offer said that he hopes the event, which has been about a year in the planning, will show clear- ly what strides have been made in Church Unity by all the Churches over the last 50 years, and that the work of bringing the Churches together is still an important one. Pope Francis will visit the Shroud of Turin during its public display in Turin’s cathedral April 19-June 24, 2015, as well as commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of St. John Bosco. According to tradition, the 14-foot-by-4- foot linen cloth is the burial shroud of Jesus. The shroud has a full-length pho- tonegative image of a man, front and back, bearing signs of wounds that cor- respond to the Gospel accounts of the torture Jesus endured in his passion and death. The church has never officially ruled on the shroud’s authenticity, saying judg- ments about its age and origin belonged to scientific investigation. Scientists have debated its authenticity for decades, and studies have led to con- flicting results. The archbishop and other organizers of the exhibition told reporters they expect at least 1 million people from all over the world to visit during the two-month- long public exposition. All donations made by pilgrims during the event will be earmarked for a hos- pice for the terminally ill, officials announced. Your next deadline: January 1 Rome Pope Francis has appointed the first Briton to be the Vatican’s foreign minister – a post regarded as a possible stepping stone to the papacy itself. Paul Gallagher was promoted as part of a reshuffle at senior levels of the Vatican, which Francis used to sideline the main spokesman of a conservative faction at last month’s synod. The 60-year-old, from Liverpool, is currently the Vatican’s nun- cio (ambassador) in Australia. An acquaintance of Gallagher, speaking on condition of anonymity, described him as “a discreet man, but with a calm and engaging personality. He is not over-for- mal and really quite proactive.” Gallagher, who holds the rank of arch- bishop, will head the Vatican section charged with overseeing its worldwide diplomacy. Before being sent to Australia, Gallagher had served as the pope’s envoy in Guatemala and Burundi, both countries that had been torn apart by civil war. In Burundi, he took over from a predecessor who had been assassinated. Archbishop Michael Courtney, from Ireland, died of gun- shot wounds after his car was attacked in 2003 as he was returning to the capital, Bujumbura. Gallagher also spent five years as an offi- cial in the secretariat of state, the Vatican department that doubles as a form of inte- rior ministry, looking after relationships with the various national churches, and as a foreign ministry. He is regarded as well versed in the often Byzantine ways of the Roman curia, the central administration of the Catholic church.
