Pope warns against witchcraft
Pope Benedict XVI received the bishops of Angola and Sao Tomé on Saturday, who are here in Rome for their ad limina visits. In greeting the bishops, the Holy Father recalled his March, 2009 visit to Luanda, during which he said he was able to celebrate Jesus Christ in the midst of a people who never tire of seeking to love and serve with generosity and joy. Pope Benedict also used the occasion to explain that his recent decision to proclaim the Year of Faith from October 2012 to November 2013, was so that the whole Church might demonstrate to all a more beautiful and credible face, that the face of the Lord might show through the Church more clearly.

Nieuwe prefect van de Congregatie voor de Evangelisatie
BRUSSEL (KerkNet/Zenit) – Paus Benedictus XVI benoemde de Italiaanse bisschop Fernando Filoni (65) tot nieuwe prefect van de Congregatie voor de Evangelisatie van de Volkeren. Hij volgt kardinaal Ivan Dias op, die 75 werd. Filoni is in 1946 in Zuid-Italië geboren. Hij was geruime tijd pauselijke nuntius in Irak en bleef er in 2003 als een van de weinige buitenlandse diplomaten op post. De benoeming impliceert dat hij wellicht al tijdens het volgende consistorie kardinaal wordt.
