Vatican
City, 6 May 2013
(VIS) – This morning in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy
Father received His excellency, Mr. Ueli Maurer, president of the
Swiss Confederation. President Maurer then went on to meet with
Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., accompanied by
Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with States.
During
the cordial discussions—recalling the centuries-old, commendable
service of the Pontifical Swiss Guards on the annual swearing-in
ceremony of the new recruits—the common desire to further reinforce
the good relations that exist between the Holy See and the Swiss
Confederation was emphasized as well as intensifying the
collaboration between the Catholic Church and the State.
Then
issues of common interest were covered, such as the safeguarding of
human rights, the formation of youth, and the international
collaboration in promoting justice and peace.
