Vatican-watching: December 2005 Archives

New appointment at CDWDS

| 2 Comments

Pope Benedict has appointed Sri Lankan archbishop Malcolm Ranjith to be Secretary of the Congregation of Divine Worship.

After serving as a priest and bishop in his native country, Abp. Ranjith became an official of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Since 2004, he has been nuncio in Indonesia, where he served during the tsunami disaster.

To get a sample of his thinking in general -- though this doesn't give us any indications about his views on the sacred liturgy -- here's a paper he presented to an evangelization conference about "How to Evangelize in Asia". The Church, he indicates, should make it possible for Asians to discover Christ as Savior in personal experience, and show a connection between Revelation and the rooted religious traditions of the Church in Asia.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
