Talking about
the "things that matter most" on Mar. 5
Papal Transition Special
After completing their third pre-conclave
meeting, the College of Cardinals still has not announced a date for the
conclave. Instead, they used the meetings yesterday and today to discuss needs
of the church. Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, could
not give specific details of the discussions because he is bound by an oath of
secrecy to give only general information. He said March 5 the subjects were
"broad and varied," and included "the activity of the Holy See
and its various dicasteries, their relationships with the bishops, the renewal
of the church in the light of the Second Vatican Council, the situation of the
church and the needs for new evangelization in the world, including in different
cultural situations." In this papal transition period we talk to some
friends and regular guests, getting a sense of what they are thinking about the
papal transition, the needs of the Church and how the laity will continue it
co-responsibility for the Church. Guest will include Fr. Joseph Fessio, Deal
Hudson, Phil Lawler
and Sam Gregg.
