aus Liebe zur Synode ?: Papst Leo falsch zitiert?

FAR:

This text is difficult to understand even for experienced Vatican scholars. We are posting it online because it indirectly forms the basis for a variety show and, in the long term, is also intended to serve as a resource for Judeo-Spanish for Sephardic Jews.

It is a concluding text about the consistory.

The original text is in Italian. The official language of the Church is Latin. Since Latin was abolished after the Second Vatican Council, Italian has been the language of the Church.

It is rare for a pope to summarize something himself; therefore, I have taken the liberty of highlighting the pope's words in green.

From here on, the original text is from Vatican News.

Leo XIV: In cases of reserved crimes, respect the requirements of justice, truth, and charity.
The Pope received the participants of the plenary session of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, thanking them for their service to the Church and for the documents of the last two years that provide clarifications on sensitive issues. Among these was "Dignitas infinita" on the subject of human dignity, which he said is threatened today by wars and by an economy that prioritizes profit. He then encouraged evangelization, especially among young people: "Many live without any connection to God."

It is of crucial importance to ensure that the requirements of justice, truth, and charity are always upheld and respected.

The documents of the last two years
The Pope also expressed his gratitude for the numerous documents the Dicastery had produced in the last two years, which aim to "offer clarifications on Church teaching through pastoral and theological guidance on often very sensitive issues." Leo XIV quoted the note *Gestis verbisque* on the validity of the sacraments and doubts about their administration, and the declaration *Dignitas infinita* on human dignity, which—as emphasized—is "gravely threatened" in this time by the ongoing wars and by "an economy that prioritizes profit."

The documents of the last two years: Then the norms that regulate the procedure for recognizing alleged supernatural phenomena, which, among other things, analyze the spiritual experience of Medjugorje, to which the note La Regina della Pace (The Queen of Peace) is specifically dedicated. Furthermore, the Pope recalls Antiqua et nova, a document in collaboration with the Dicastery for Culture and Education on the relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence; the doctrinal note Mater Populi fidelis (My Faithful Father of the People), on some Marian titles, which “promotes popular Marian piety by deepening its biblical and theological foundations” while also “offering precise and important clarifications for Mariology.” And finally, the doctrinal note Una caro (My Beloved One): In Praise of Monogamy, published in November 2025, which “deepens in an original way the characteristic of the unity of marriage between one man and one woman.”

The attraction
"We", Leo XIV says, quoting Benedict XVI and Francis as well as his own words on the occasion of the recent Extraordinary General Assembly. Consistory, "We want to be a church that doesn't just look out for itself, but is missionary, that looks beyond others; a church that proclaims the Gospel, above all through the power of attraction." "It is not the church that attracts, but Christ." says the Pope. And he concludes with a quote from Benedict XVI and his unforgettable words from the Loggia of Blessings on the day of his election to the 2005 conclave.

The Church proclaims Christ without protagonistism or particularism, and within it everyone is and must always and only recognize themselves as a simple and humble worker in the Lord's vineyard.

From here, I thanked LEO again the doctrine "for the valuable contribution it makes to the life and work of the Dicastery and the entire Church, especially when this contribution is made in a modest and unobtrusive way."
