size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Arial'> --
After moving last year to block the re-election of the first laywoman to
head <em><i><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>Caritas
Internationalis</span></font></i></em>, the Rome-based confederation of
Catholic charitable agencies around the world, over an alleged “lack of
coordination” with papal aides, the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region> today imposed sweeping new
rules that effectively tightens its control over Caritas' finances and global operations.<br>
Among other points, the rules require the top officials of Caritas to make
promises of loyalty before a <st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place> official,
including "Christian obedience" to church leaders.<br>
Aside from its direct importance for Catholic charities, today’s Vatican
move is also interesting for the recently decreed overhaul of the Leadership
Conference for Women Religious in the United States, the country’s main
umbrella group for superiors of women’s orders.<br>
Like LCWR, Caritas Internationalis is a juridical person under church law
recognized by the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
The new rules are thus a further indication that the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region> is in earnest about
tightening its grip over groups that enjoy official status and, in some sense,
represent the church.<br>
The rules came in the form of a “General Decree,” released today in
the name of Italian Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s Secretary of State.<br>
Composed of nine articles, the rules specify that:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>The <st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place>
office which oversees Caritas is the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, and it has
the power to approve in advance “any text with doctrinal or moral
content or orientations,” which may also be submitted to the review
of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>Cor Unum will appoint an ecclesiastical
assistant to Caritas, whose role will be to “promote its Catholic
identity.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>Cor Unum must approve any cooperative agreements
between Caritas and non-governmental organizations, except in cases of
dire humanitarian emergencies. (In the past, Caritas had been criticized
for entering into agreements with NGOs whose approach to issues such as
population control differs from that of the Catholic church.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>Caritas officials are required to report any
contact with foreign governments or diplomatic missions to the Secretariat
of State. (Also in the past, Caritas has been criticized for conducting a
sort of "parallel diplomacy" alongside the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s
official diplomatic apparatus.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>

mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:

of State, must approve various sectors of Caritas’ financial operations,
such as wages, contracts and the review of budgets.<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4'><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>Top officials of Caritas Internationalis must
pronounce loyalty oaths before the president of Cor Unum, who is currently
Cardinal Robert Sarah of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Guinea</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
The officials are required to vow “always to conserve communion with
the Catholic church, both in word and in mode of acting,” to
preserve and transmit “faithfully the deposit of faith, rejecting
any doctrine contrary to it,” and to “observe Christian
obedience to what the Sacred Pastors declare as authentic doctors and
teachers of the faith, or stabilize as leaders of the church.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:13.5pt;
font-family:Arial'>The decree was accompanied by a commentary written by Msgr.
Osvaldo Neves de Almeida, an Argentine priest of Opus Dei who serves as an
official in the Secretariat of State. Neves argued that the new rules come out
of a series of meetings with Caritas Internationalis and <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>
officials, and that much of the content is already in place.<br>
Neves wrote that the new rules are “of significant assistance to the
institution, worthy of the human and spiritual quality and professionalism of
its officers,” and that they will enhance “the distinctive identity
of Caritas Internationalis, which is both its strength and the source of its
particular efficacy.”<br>
In January 2011 the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>
denied approval for the then-secretary-general of Caritas, Zimbabwe-born
laywoman Lesley-Anne Knight, to stand for a second term, a move seen as pushing
Caritas to become more evangelical as well as more firmly committed to church
teaching.<br>
Knight's successor at Caritas, French secretary general Michel Roy, welcomed
the new rules.<br>
“Our immense gratitude to Pope Benedict for granting these new Statutes
and Rules and the staff of the Holy See who have worked with us through this
long process," he said. "The new Statutes and Rules clarifies that
Caritas Internationalis is an organisation both at the service of the
confederation members and of the Holy See.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
