Rorate Caeli

Important papal nominations

The Holy Father has named today, as mentioned here before, the new Prefect of Bishops (former Archbishop of Québec, Cardinal Ouellet), and the President of the new "Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization (former Rector of the Lateran University and former President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Archbishop Fisichella - indirectly corrected by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for the doctrinal confusion he generated regarding abortion, cf. The Recife Affair).

The Holy Father named the new Presidents of the Pontifical Academy for Life (Mons. Ignacio Carrasco de Paula) and of the Lateran University (Fr. Enrico dal Covolo, SDB), as well as others (see here).

It would seem that, with his novel doctrine on tolerating abortions in situations of "emotional distress", Archbishop Fisichella will have the utmost success in "new evangelization" efforts in cocktail parties and formal dinner events from Berlin to Paris, from London to New York, from Madrid to Buenos Aires. The new Pontifical Council is brought forth with a stain the size of Brazil... Auguri, monsignor Fisichella!
