Vatican
City, 4 December 2013 (VIS) – The meetings of the Council of
Cardinals continued, as planned, yesterday afternoon with the
participation of the Holy Father.
“The
work of the Council took place in an environment of great serenity,
with an open and cordial exchange between all participants”,
communicated the director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico
Lombardi S.J.
“As
mentioned yesterday morning, the new secretary of State Archbishop
Pietro Parolin was invited to the afternoon session to greet the
members who wished him well in his new role, and in to establish
contract in the hope of fruitful collaboration in the service of the
Holy Father for the governance of the Church.
“This
morning the Holy Father was not present due to the regular Wednesday
general audience, but work continued as usual. The council considered
the various dicasteries of the Roman Curia in turn (for example, the
Causes of Saints, Catholic Education, Evangelisation of Peoples and
so on).
“It
is possible that during the meetings scheduled for these days, a
first round of considerations on the Congregations may be completed,
to be followed by an examination of the Pontifical Councils and the
other dicasteries.
“It
is important to note that these are first considerations which will
naturally be reviewed in the framework of a subsequent overall
examination”, concluded Fr. Lombardi.
