Latin-Caribbean Conference Scheduled for 2007

The decision was made May 27 when the Pope received in audience Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa and Bishop Andres Stanovnik, president and interim secretary-general of CELAM, respectively.

CELAM’s statement did not reveal the specific theme of the conference.

The last conference was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1992.

Pope Francis

He did so by sending a video message to the fifty young people participating in MED 24 Tirana, a new edition of the Mediterranean Encounters

The Pope at MED24 asked the young people of the Mediterranean to help the region “recover its expression of fraternity and peace” and stop being “a graveyard”

He did so through a message he sent to the young people participating in Albania at MED 24 in Tirana. Inspired by the previous Mediterranean Meetings, the event aims to create a spirit of fraternity following Francis’ call to build bridges of dialogue between the different religions and cultures of the Mediterranean.

Vatican’s dialogue with China and Pope Francis’ realism

In the last six years, also marked by a period of rare contact in relations between the parties during the pandemic, nine new Catholic bishops have been ordained in China. In the same period, eight so-called «non-official» bishops, ordained in the past outside the procedures imposed by the Chinese apparatus, have asked for and obtained public recognition of their function also from the political authorities in Beijing
