Cardinal Claudio Hummes, prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, said the initiative would involve dioceses, parishes, monasteries, convents and seminaries in a prayer movement to support priestly holiness. In a particular way, the initiative will ask reparation "for the victims of grave situations of moral and sexual conduct of a very small percentage of clergy," Cardinal Hummes said in an interview Jan. 4 with the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano. "We are asking everyone to participate in eucharistic adoration to repair before God the damage that was done and to uphold once again the dignity of the victims," the cardinal said. "Yes, we wanted to think of the victims so that they feel that we are close to them. We are concerned above all with them, and it's important to say so," he said. The cardinal said that only a small minority of priests has been involved in sexual abuse cases.tdunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692665750427668367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074361.post-44961209798609977342008-01-08T21:36:00.000+01:002008-01-08T21:36:00.000+01:00CNS has a piece on it.... in there briefsCNS has a piece on it.... in there briefsMattheus Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629195495902678804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074361.post-64139650255960361412008-01-07T22:21:00.000+01:002008-01-07T22:21:00.000+01:00This was an interview with Osservatore Romano foll...This was an interview with Osservatore Romano following the publication on 8 December 2007 of the Congregation for the Clergy's document on Eucharistic Adoration. <BR/>Cardinal Hummes' interview can be read (in Italian) on Papa Ratzinger Blog<BR/><BR/>http://paparatzinger-blograffaella.blogspot.com/2008/01/<BR/>card-hummes-adorazione-perpetua-per-le.htmlFr PFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457491150852082652noreply@blogger.com
