Intervento della Delegazione della Santa Sede al Forum Internazionale dell'Aia sulla popolazione e lo sviluppo The Holy See takes this opportunity to thank the organizers of the Forum for the invitation and the Dutch Government for its kind hospitality. In the five years since Cairo, the world has attempted to move from insights and visions to reality. In this context, the Holy See continues to insist that human beings are at the centre of concerns for development. The dignity of the human person must be respected in all its aspects. As the Cairo Document states, this is to be done with full respect for the various religious and ethical values and cultural background of each woman and man. Following this statement, Principle One of the Cairo Document states that everyone has the right to life. In the follow-up process, the Holy See calls for a priority treatment of issues regarding development and insists on two important components: education and the reduction of poverty. However, the disproportion between the funds allocated for reproductive health and those allocated for the elimination of widespread endemic diseases or for education is noted. The Holy See underlines that true development can never be reduced to a merely physical dimension. Sexual and reproductive health must be integrated within an overall concern for the education and well-being of the total person. The ability of a woman to make decisions is not dependent on the reduction of her fertility but on the level of her education.

INSTRUMENT OF RATIFICATION, DATED 19 AUGUST 1976 OF THE AGREEMENT OF 28 JULY 1976 BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND THE SPANISH STATE (BOE Ns 230, 24 September) On the other hand, taking into account that the free naming of Bishops and the equality of all citizens in the administration of justice has priority and special urgency in the revision of the provisions of the present Concordat, both contracting Parties conclude, as a first step in said revision, the following: AGREEMENT I. 1.

It shall be understood that there are no objections if the Government has not expressed these within fifteen days.

You could also participate to the Catholics for a Free Choice's SEE Change Campaign Secretary General Kofi Annan United Nations Headquarters 2 United Nations Plaza New York, New York USA 10017 Dear Secretary-General Annan, As a UN Non-Member State Permanent Observer, the Holy See (the government of the Roman Catholic Church) exercises a presence equal to that of any UN member state including some power to block consensus. We saw this at recent conferences such as the 1992 Conference on the Environment and Development, in Rio de Janeiro; the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, in Cairo; and the 1995 World Summit for Social Development, in Copenhagen. The same was the case at the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, in Beijing. We call on the UN to immediately review and revoke the permanent observer status of the Holy See. As we have witnessed the ratification of the Optional Protocol on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women this year, and as the five-year review of the Beijing Platform for Action is scheduled for the year 2000, the removal of the Holy See as permanent observer will be a step forward for women's international equality rights and a demonstration of the United Nations commitment to women's human rights.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Golden Rose A precious and sacred ornament made of pure gold by skilled artificers, which the popes have been accustomed for centuries to bless each year, and occasionally confer upon illustrious churches and sanctuaries as a token of special reverence and devotion, upon Catholic kings or queens, princes or princesses, renowned generals or other distinguished personages, upon governments or cities conspicuous for their Catholic spirit and loyalty to the holy see, as a mark of esteem and paternal affection. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06629a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... G > Golden Rose A B C D ... Z Golden Rose A precious and sacred ornament made of pure gold by skilled artificers, which the popes have been accustomed for centuries to bless each year, and occasionally confer upon illustrious churches and sanctuaries as a token of special reverence and devotion, upon Catholic kings or queens, princes or princesses, renowned generals or other distinguished personages, upon governments or cities conspicuous for their Catholic spirit and loyalty to the Holy See , as a mark of esteem and paternal affection. The significations of the rose and (fourth of Lent ), the day on which it is blessed, so blend that the Sunday is oftentimes called Rose Sunday, and rose-coloured vestments, altar and throne and chapel draperies (signs of hope and joy) are substituted for the penitential purple during the solemn function. The Church on this Sunday bids her children who have been so far engaged in prayer, fasting and other penitential works, as also in serious meditation upon the malice of sin and the terrible punishment exacted on account of it, to look up and beyond Calvary and see in the first rays of the Easter sun, the risen Christ, Who brings them redemption, and "Rejoice". The golden flower and its shining splendour show forth Christ and His Kingly Majesty, Who is heralded by the prophet as "the flower of the field and the lily of the valleys"; its fragrance shows the sweet odour of Christ which should be widely diffused by His faithful followers (Pope Leo XIII, Acta, vol. VI, 104); and the thorns and red tint tell of His Passion according to Isaias (lxiii, 2): "Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?"

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Holy See Not many religions actually own a country, but Catholicism isn't just any religion. The Vatican is probably per square foot the richest country in the world, making up for its total lack of natural resources with an astonishing collection of priceless art treasures. Headed up by His Holiness, the tiny enclave in the heart of Rome is the administrative and spiritual capital of Roman Catholicism, and the world's smallest independent state. During the working week, the population increases fivefold as residents of Rome cross the 'border' to do the Lord's work. Despite its importance to the devout - there are an estimated one billion Catholics worldwide - it's not all bells and smells at the Pope's house. Scandal and intrigue have accompanied the office of the papacy for almost two millennia, and plenty of that scandal occurred within the Vatican buildings. But even without a dubious relationship with the Nazis, corruption and rumours of Mafia murders, the Vatican would remain a spectacular destination for history buffs, religious types and art lovers alike.

It may also be defined as the head of the Roman Catholic church, including the Pope. By this latter definition, the Holy See continues to exist when the papacy is vacant after the death or resignation of the Pope. During such vacancies the Catholic Church and the Vatican City are governed oligarchically by the College of Cardinals . The Holy See is recognized as having legal personality under international law The Holy See is legally distinguishable from the Vatican City , which is a territory over which the Holy See has sovereignty: some treaties the Holy See is a party to in itself, other treaties it is a party to in respect of the Vatican City. However, the foreign embassies are credited to the Holy See and not to the Vatican State. Generally, the Holy See as a party to a treaty reflects the interests of the Roman Catholic church, while Vatican City is generally only party to treaties which are not of general significance, e.g., treaties regarding co-operation with

You are visitor: In Scotland the time is: Christian Network The Holy See and the Third Reich Adolf Hitler ascended to power in Germany in 1933. Shortly after, the Church became concerned for the welfare of Catholics there both spiritually and materially. In an attempt to ensure the welfare of souls within the German Reich, and to put a check on contemporary abuses and potential dangers, Pope Pius XI signed an agreement with the government of Germany. Such a treaty is called a "Concordat". One historically famous Concordat was that of 1801 between Pope Pius VII and Napoleon Bonaparte, which re-established the Church in France (repudiated by the French government in its Law of the Separation of Church and State in 1905). The Concordat between the Holy See and the German Reich is often mentioned but rarely quoted (and even more difficult to find.) Unfortunately it is "often mentioned" by the enemies of the Church in order to accuse the Church of favoring the German Reich under Hitler. In searching for this Concordat on the Internet, without success, we even come
