Vatican Decree Clarifies Role for Archbishop De Paolis
ROME, JULY 25, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI has given the papal delegate for the Legion of Christ full faculties to govern the congregation for as long as is needed to complete the path of renewal, revise the constitutions and convoke an extraordinary general chapter.
These faculties for Archbishop Velasio De Paolis are described in a decree from Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope’s secretary of state. Archbishop De Paolis presented the decree last Wednesday during his second meeting with the general council of the congregation. The Legion published the decree on its Web site on Friday.
It also published the June 16 letter of Benedict XVI to Archishop De Paolis, in which he named him the papal delegate following the recently completed apostolic visit to the congregation. The letter affirms that the visitation, “besides the sincere zeal and fervent religious life of a great number of the congregation’s members, [made clear] the need and urgency to undertake a path of in-depth revision of the institute’s charism.”
