Pontifical status summary

In July 2012, after an apostolic visitation, begun earlier, in 2011, by Peter Erdo, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest, Hungary, the Holy See withdrew from the university the right under canon law to use the titles Catholic and Pontifical in its name. Archbishop of Lima, Juan Luis Cipriani, was the main advocate of the Vatican interests. Titles like "Catholic" and "Pontifical" are granted by the Vatican only after meeting legal requirements.

In 2014 Pope Francis formed a Commission of Cardinals to find a 'final, consensual solution between the Vatican and the university, comprising Cardinal Erdo, Gérald Lacroix, archbishop of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and Ricardo Ezzati Andrello, archbishop of Santiago de Chile, Chile.[1] In 2016, the Vatican restored the lost titles and determined that the archbishop of Lima would not assume the position of Chancellor of the university.[2]

As of December 2018 the rector and vicerectors faced charges due to mismanagement issues, and Rector Marcial Rubio had to resign after a scandal of fraud, usury, and keeping two sets of accounts.[3] The subsequent administration initiated the return of overcharged fees, and introduced corresponding internal reforms.

Designation as Pontifical and Catholic

The PUCP had used the words "pontifical" and "Catholic" in its name since Pope Pius XII granted that privilege on 30 September 1942.[4]

In 1991, with the exhortation "Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope John Paul II decreed what is required for an institution of higher education to call itself "Catholic." One requirement was that all its teachers of theology and canon law have the mandate of the local ecclesiastical authority, normally the local bishop.

Catholic authorities claimed that the PUCP had not taken the steps necessary to meet those norms WHEN

and that the university was denying the Peruvian bishops an official seat on its board of governance

access ?? by the bishops or who?? to the administration of bequests and other sources of funding.

note that Cipriani becomes archbishop in 1999.

essence of dispute: "The PUCP, in Lima, has been involved in a conflict with its chancellor, the Cardinal-Archbishop of Lima, Juan Luis Cipriano, who is a member of Opus Dei, since 2007 over who has the right to appoint the rector, supervision of its teaching and learning content and control of its not inconsiderable assets."[5]


In October 2011, Pope Benedict XVI or a vatican official under him, organized an apostolic visitation of the university led by Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest.

In December he tried to broker a settlement between Rubio and Cipriani without success.[5]

Archbishop of Lima, Juan Luis Cipriani, was the main advocate of the Vatican interests.

"The university had been mired in a long-standing dispute with the Archdiocese of Lima over property willed to the university more than half a century ago. Lima Cardinal Juan Cipriani Thorne has publicly questioned the way the university manages the inheritance and has insisted on more transparency and accountability to the archdiocese."[6]and [7]

Erdő asked the PUCP to implement the norms by Easter 2012 (8 April).

Under canon law, the title "pontifical" title allows a Catholic university to award certain ecclesiastical degrees. ??? and can't be pontifical if not Catholic [a]

The attorney for the Archdiocese of Lima, Natale Amprimo,

issued a press statement

UNCLEAR DIFF ISSUE Amprimo cited article 83 of the P.U.C.P. University Act, i.e. "goods coming from donations, legacies and bequests are subject to the regime established by the donor".[9]

Rubio and Bertone discuss results of visitation in the Vatican in February 2012. Followed by Rubio has sent the cardinal two letters asserting "the impossibility of enacting what was requested" and stating that the university would not modify its statutes unless the Archdiocese of Lima "renounced control" over the university's assets, the Vatican said.[7]

On 11 July 2012, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of State of the Holy See, withdrew the titles of "Pontifical" and "Catholic" from the university, citing disagreements with the current governing body. Rubio called it "not the best example of tolerance and respect".[7][10][11]

The communique said that since 1967, the university's governing body repeatedly and "unilaterally modified its statutes with serious prejudice to the interests of the church."

Beginning in 1990, the Vatican said, it repeatedly asked the university to rewrite its statutes in accordance with the principles outlined in "Ex Corde Ecclesiae," the 1990 apostolic constitution on guaranteeing the identity and mission of Catholic colleges. The Vatican said the university had a "legal obligation" to adopt the norms prescribed by the Vatican while Rubio .[7]

On 22 July 2012, the rector of the university, Marcial Rubio, released a press statement called the dispute "regrettable" and said the PUCP would continue to use the disputed terms in its official name as determined by its governing body.[12]

Rubio also asserted that the university is governed by the civil laws of Peru, not by ecclesiastical canon law.[13]

Article 5 includes:

"Each Bishop has a responsibility to promote the welfare of the Catholic Universities in his diocese and has the right and duty to watch over the preservation and strengthening of their Catholic character. If problems should arise conceming this Catholic character, the local Bishop is to take the initiatives necessary to resolve the matter, working with the competent university authorities in accordance with established procedures(52) and, if necessary, with the help of the Holy See."

Extending the jurisdiction of the Syro-Malabar Church

By the second half of twentieth century, Syro-Malabar communities had been established outside of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the SM church.

According to the Second Vatican Council and subsequent documents, their pastoral needs must be met by the priests of their own rite and in their own rite.

Large cities of India like Delhi, Bangalore, Madras, Calcutta have many Syro-Malabar Catholics.[1]

In 2011, Alencherry called for the erection of "a territorial jurisdiction covering the whole territory of India", calling it "one of our appeals to the Holy Father". He said:[2]

We believe it is our right. Before the arrival of Western missionaries – the Portuguese arrived in the sixteenth century – the jurisdiction of us 'Catholic Christians among St Thomas' was extended to all of India. Then the Western missionaries, because of the influence of European monarchs, took jurisdiction of India, restricting ours to the areas where we were more concentrated.

Pope Francis responded in October 2017 with the creation of the Eparchy of Shamshabad to encompass all the areas of India not otherwise included within the jurisdiction of an existing eparchy.[3] The new eparchy's inauguration in 2018 was greeted as "a historic victory"[4] and in December 2020 it was made a suffragan of Alencherry's archeparchy.[5]

By contrast, author Jesús María López Sotillo wrote on Religión Digital that Cobo knows Madrid far better than most of his predecessors, that Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela led the archdiocese for twenty years from 1994 to 2014, and that Cobo's age means "he has time to try to put into practice ... whatever idea he has of what it means to be a bishop today".[1]

José Cobo Cano (born 20 September 1965) is a Spanish prelate of the Catholic Church. He has been serving as the archbishop of Madrid since his installation on 8 July 2023. He was an auxiliary bishop of that archdiocese from 2017 to 2023.

Pope Francis made him a cardinal on 30 September 2023.

Early life

José Cobo was born on 20 September 1965 in the municipality of Sabiote, Jaén, Andalusia, where he was baptized in the Parochial Church of San Pedro [es].[2] At 7 years old he went with his parents, Agustín and Pauli, to Madrid.[3][4]

He earned a licentiate degree in civil law from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1988. The same year, he entered both the Madrid Conciliary Seminary [es] and the San Damaso Ecclesiastical University, where he completed his ecclesiastical studies.[2][5] He pursued moral science at the Comillas Pontifical University from 1994 to 1996.[5][6]

Priest

Cobo was ordained a priest of the archdiocese of Madrid on 23 April 1994 by Cardinal Ángel Suquía Goicoechea, Archbishop of Madrid.[7]

He was deputy at Hermandades del Trabajo de Madrid, a Catholic evangelist and social work organization from 1994 to 1996.[8][9] He was a vicar from 1995 yo 2000 and archpriest in 2000 at San Leopold parish.[9][10] From 2000 to 2015, he was the parish priest of St. Alfonso María de Ligorio.[9] He served as a member of the Presbyteral Council, a group of priests that advises the archbishop from 2000 to 2012 and again from 2015 to 2017.[9] In 2001, he was nominated as archpriest of Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Campamento and served until 2015.[10] He was a permanent member in the II Diocesan Synod of Madrid, a meeting focused on legislative matters, from 2002 to 2005.[10][11][12] He episcopal vicar of the II Northeast vicariate from 2015 to 2017.[6] He was a lecturer at Escuela de Agentes de Pastoral de Madrid from 1996 to 2000 and Centro de Estudios Sociales de Cáritas Diocesana de Madrid from 2000 to 2012.[6][9][12]

Auxiliary bishop

On 29 December 2017, Pope Francis named Cobo one of three new auxiliary bishops of Madrid and titular bishop of Baeza.[6] He received his episcopal consecration on 17 February 2018.[6]

He chose as his episcopal motto In misericordia Tua, confidere et servire ("In Your mercy, trust and serve") to reflect his belief that entrusting all to God and serving are the core principles of his life. He says that these traits define his strengths and underscore his contributions to the Church and community.[13][14]

Cobo wanted his ecclesiastical coat of arms to symbolize four aspects of his personal and priestly life: the Cross with the Five Holy Wounds, a representation of his faith; a bell, reflecting his role in guiding the people of God through various situations; a wash-basin, reflecting his servitude to others; and a broken wall with a star in the background, referencing the discovery of the Virgin of Almudena and his home town's patron saint, the Virgin of the Star [es].[13][14]

While auxiliary bishop, he worked for the Spanish Episcopal Conference, responsible for the Prison Pastoral Care Department from 2018 to 2021[11] and a member of the Migration Department since 2019 and of the Episcopal Commission for Social Pastoral and Human Promotion since 2020.[12]

In November 2018, a teacher at an Opus Dei school in Bilbao was discovered to have sexually abused a child from 2008 to 2010.[15][16][17] Following the case's revelation, Cobo talked with the victim's priest, subsequently reporting the incident to the school. The school trusted his account and indicated plans to relocate the teacher abroad; Cobo strongly objected to and criticized this decision, stating that school officials lacked compassion toward the victim or their parents. Cobo also called the bishop of Bilbao's handling of the situation "shameful".[18] The teacher was ultimately sentenced to 11 years in prison.[15] This high-profile case led to a nationwide meeting addressing sexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church, in which Cobo participated.[18]

Archbishop

On 12 June 2023, Pope Francis named Cobo archbishop of Madrid, replacing Carlos Osoro Sierra.[19][20] He was installed there on 8 July 2023 in the Cathedral of Santa María de Vitoria.[6] On 29 June 2023, Pope Francis, Pope Francis gave him his pallium, the ecclesiastical vestment that represents his role as a metropolitan.[21] He was the first archbishop of Madrid not already an archbishop since Madrid became an archdiocese in 1964.[22][23] He had not been included on the list of candidates (terna) proposed by the apostolic nuncio to Spain for the pope's consideration.[5] Observers attributed his appointment to his work on social issues and his alignment with the the pope's progressive positions.[5][24][25]

As archbishop, he was made member of the Executive Commission and the Permanent Commission of the Spanish Episcopal Conference in July 2023.[6] That same month, Pope Francis announced plans to make him a cardinal at a papal consistory scheduled for 30 September.[26] At that consistory he was made cardinal priest of Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli.[27]

In an interview at World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon, Cobo criticized the church as being manipulated by "ideological interests" and as an instrument to win votes and reaffirm political positions.[28] He told an interviewer that he would not officiate at a same-sex marriage and comparing the concept of sacramental same-sex marriage to celebrating the Eucharist with Coca-Cola.[29][30][31]

Ranjith

[a]

  1. ^ Ranjith's biography on the website of his archdiocese offers two versions in the style the places his title "Cardinal" immediately before his surname:
    • Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith
    • Archbishop Patabendige Don Albert Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith
    In both forms, the surname is Ranjith. "Patabendige" is an honorific used by the descendants of someone once granted the use of this name in return for service to a monarch. It is not a surname. Vatican usage is idiosyncratic in using the most traditional form of the name, Patabendige Albert Malcolm Ranjith, but alphabetizing the name under "p":
    • Patabendige, Albert Malcolm Ranjith.
    "Don" is a contemporary honorific that precedes Ranjith's given name(s), but again the Vatican misplaced it as if it were a post-nominal, resulting in:
    • Patabendige Don, Cardinal Albert Malcolm Ranjith

Franco Mulakkal is an Indian prelate of the Latin Catholic Church. He was the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jalandhar from 2013 to 2023 and before that an auxiliary bishop of Delhi from 2009 to 2013.

In September 2018 a nun accused him of multiple rapes. He was acquitted at trial in January 2022, though an appeal of that verdict continues. He was relieved of his duties as bishop in September 2018 while under investigation and he remained in that status until, at the request of the Holy See, he offered his resignation as bishop of Jalandhar and it was accepted in June 2023.

Biography

Early years and career

Franco Mulakkal was born in Mattam, Thrissur, Kerala, India, on 25 March 1964.[1] His father was a schoolmaster.[2] He attended St. Francis Boy's School in Mattam from 1970 to 1979 and the minor seminary of St. Mary's in Thrissur from 1979 to 1982. He studied philosophy and theology at the major inter-diocesan seminary of St. Charles in Nagpur, in the Archdiocese of Bombay.[1] He also has a bachelor's degree in education from Annamalai University in Tamil Nadu, as well as master's degrees in both English literature and sociology from Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar.[2][3]

He was ordained a priest at St. Thomas Forane Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Mattom, Thrissur, Kerala, on 21 April 1990 by Symphorian Keeprath, Bishop Emeritus of that diocese,[1][3] having chosen to be a priest of the Diocese of Jalandhar out of admiration for Keeprath.[2]

He worked as parish vicar in Dhariwal in 1990-1991; parish priest in St. Joseph's parish in Kahnuwan from 1991 to 1996; and taught at the St. John Vianney Minor Seminary, Amritsar, in 1996-1997. He earned a degree in moral theology, studying in Rome at the Alfonsianum, part of the Pontifical Lateran University, from 1997 to 2001,[1] with a dissertation: "A Theological Investigation into the Moral Teachings of Guru Nanak[a] from a Catholic perspective".[3] He was professor of moral theology at Holy Trinity Regional Seminary in Jalandhar and dean of the Faculty of Theology there from 2001 to 2008. He was international treasurer of the Apostolic Union of the Clergy, based in Rome, for the year 2008-2009 and became a consultor of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.[1]

He founded the Charismatic Apostolate of the Diocese of Jalandhar in 2001 and served as its director until 2009. He was director of the Diocesan Pastoral Center from 2002 to 2006; editor of the diocesan magazine Sada Zamana from 2006 to 2009; national president of the Apostolic Union of the Clergy from 2003 to 2007; and international councillor of the Apostolic Union of the Clergy from 2004 to 2007. He also became public relations manager for the Jalandhar district.[1]

Bishop

Pope Benedict XVI appointed him auxiliary bishop of the Latin rite Archdiocese of Delhi and titular bishop of Chullu on 17 January 2009.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on 21 February 2009[4] from Archbishop Vincent Concessao, Archbishop of Delhi, with Archbishop Andrews Thazhath, Syro-Malabar Archbishop of Trichur, and Anil Joseph Thomas Couto, Bishop of Jalandhar, as co-consecrators.[5] He chose as his episcopal motto "So that in Everything God may be Glorified".[3]

Pope Francis named him bishop of the Latin rite Diocese of Jalandhar in the Indian state of Punjab on 13 June 2013.[4][6] He was installed as bishop there in a ceremony held at Trinity College in Jalandhar on 4 August 2013.[7] He became secretary of the Regional Bishops Conference of North India.[8]

Sexual assault charges and acquittal

In June 2018, a nun accused the Mulakkal of raping her repeatedly between 2014 and 2016 during his visits to St. Francis Mission Home in Kuravilangad, Kottayam, Kerala. She filed a complaint with the Kerala Police.[9][10][b] Press reports detailed complaints the nun had first sent to Church authorities beginning in January 2017 without response.[13][c] Mulakkal said his accuser was retaliating against him for taking disciplinary action against her.[14][d]

In September 2018, when summoned to Kerala to be questioned by police investigators, he appointed an administrator to manage the diocese in his absence. On 16 September he asked Pope Francis to relieve him of his duties as bishop, and the Pope responded on 20 September, appointing Bishop Agnelo Gracias, a retired auxiliary bishop of Bombay, as the temporary administrator of Jalandhar diocese.[15][16][17]

On 21 September 2018, the Kerala police arrested him[18][19] and he was formally charged on 9 April 2019.[20]

The trial began in November 2019. and concluded xxx after xxx witnesses

Mulakkal was acquitted on all charges on 14 January 2022.[21][22] The judge stated that the nun's evidence contained "exaggerations and embellishments" and that "when it is not feasible to separate truth from falsehood ... the only available course is to discard the evidence in toto".[23] It also discredited her veracity for inconsistencies between several accounts she had given.[24] The Kerala High Court agreed to accept appeals of that verdict from the accuser and the prosecution on 5 April 2022.[11]

Bishop emeritus

Mulakkal was never allowed to assume his authority as bishop once more. A year later, on 8 February 2023, he met privately with Pope Francis.[25][e]

On 1 June 2023, Pope Francis accepted his resignation.[26][27] The Apostolic Nunciature to India explained that Mulakkal had been asked to resign for the good of the diocese, to clear the way for the appointment of a new bishop. The Nunciature said that the Holy See respected both Mulakkal's acquittal and the fact that the Kerala High Court had accepted an appeal of that decision.[28][29][f]

Notes

  1. ^ Guru Nanak (1469–1539) was the founder of Sikhism, the majority religion of the state of Punjab.
  2. ^ The accuser is a former superior general of the Missionaries of Jesus, a diocesan congregation based in Mulakkal's diocese in the Punjab. As bishop he is its patron.[11] The Missionaries maintain two convents in Kerala, one at Kuruvilangadu in Kottayam and another in Kannur.[12]
  3. ^ The nun's name has not been made public; Indian law prohibits the identification of a rape victim.
  4. ^ Mulakkal said he had removed her as Mother Superior of the Missionaries, a post she had held for nine years, after a woman complained in 2016 that the nun was having an illicit affair with her husband.[14]
  5. ^ Their meeting did not appear on the pope's schedule and was not reported by Vatican sources.[25]
  6. ^ Upon Mulakkal's retirement, Gracias, previously appointed administrator for an unspecified term, was designated administrator until the post of bishop is filled.[28]

Ravel

compared to Charlie Hebdo shooting in January 2015

Ravel called abortion a "weapon of mass destruction" and called for the return of the abortion debate in French society in the Armed Forces monthly magazine in February 2015. In response, the French Defence Minister asked the Diocese's magazine to stop displaying the Army's logo on the cover so as to distance the Army from its content.[1]

Ranjith

Patabendige" is the name of his "house", "Albert" and "Malcolm" are his given names, and "Ranjith" is his surname; that is the traditional sequence. He follows contemporary Sinhalese practice in eschewing the use of his "house" name. The Holy See at times attempts to adapt his name into a format more familiar to European practice as "Albert Malcolm Ranjith Patabendige", placing the "house" name last and then treating the "house" name as his surname, which results, when following the format last name first name, in "Patabendige Don Card. Albert Malcolm Ranjith". The "Don" in this instance is a Sinhalese honorific that modifies "Cardinal", not part of his name.
