Although Latin American church leaders have issued apologies in the past, this
one went further and was much more targeted, the
reported.
Previous apologies had not been directed at Indigenous Peoples ofthe Americas,
AP said.
The Catholic Church \{as one of many Christian denominations that ran boarding
schools in Canada and the U.S. designed to "kill the Indian in the child" by taking
kids from their families, cutting them offfrom their culture and educating them in
the ways of the European-minded settlers. The Canadian Truth and
Reconciliation Commission on June 2 came out with a report calling such
practices "cultural genocide" and recommending that Prime Minister Stephen
Harper ask the Pope for an apology. Though Harper met with Pope Francis and
mentioned the report, he did not specifically request the apoloSv, and the Pontiffs
words in Bolivia did not reference the TRC document.

they are committing "a grave sin," AP said.

FRANCIS
ON 1'lIIr JUI{ISDiCTION Or"iUDICIAL AUTFIORITIL,S OF VATICA}{ CITY STA|E
IN C] ITIMINAL MAI"TE]{S

In our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the improper
use of the markets and of the economr as well as by terrorism.

It is therefore necessary for the intemational community to adopt adequate legal instruments to prevent
and counter criminal activities, by prornoting international judicial cooperation on criminal matters.
In ratifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of Vatican City
State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective means to prevent
criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.
With a view to renewing the Apostolic See's commitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of this
Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio,I establish that:
1

The competent Jr"rdicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penal jurisdiction over:
a) crirnes committed against the security, the fundamental interests or the patrimony of the

Holy

See;

b) crirnes referred to:

- in Vatican City State Law No. VIII, of 11 July 2013, containing Supplementaryt
Norms on Criminal Law Matters;

- in Vatican City State Law No. IX, of 11 July 2013, containing Amendments to
the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code:

Sl1612016

Apostolic Letter lssued Motu Proprio On the Jurisdiction of Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State in Crim inal

atters (11 July 2013) | Francis

when such crimes are committed by the persons referred to in paragraph

below, in the exercise of their functions;

c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an intemational agreement ratified by

the Holy See, if the perpetrator is physically present in the territory of Vatican City State and
has not been extradited.

2, The crimes referred to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the crirninal law in force in Vatican
City State at the time of their commission, without prejudice to the general principles of the legal system
on the temporal application of criminal 1aws.
3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal law, the following persons are deemed "public

fficials":

a) mernbers, officials and personnel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the
Institutions connected to it.

b) papal legates and diplomatic personnel of the Holy See.

c) those persons who serve as representatives, managers or directors, as well as persons who
even de facto manage or exercise control over the entities directly dependent on the Holy
See and listed in the registry of canonicai juridical persons kept by the Governorate of
Vatican City State;

d) any other person holding an adrninistrative or judicial mandate in the Holy See,
pemanent or temporary, paid or unpaid, irrespective of that person's seniority.
4. The jurisdiction refer:red to in paragraph 1 comprises also the administrative liability ofjuridical
persons arising from crimes, as regulated by Vatican City State laws.
5. When the same matters are prosecuted in other States, the provisions in force in Vatican City State on
concurrent jurisdiction shall apply.
6. The content of arlicle 23 of Law No. CXIX of 21 Novetnber 1987 , which approves the Judicial Order
of Vatican Citlt State remains in force.

This I decide and establish, anything to the contrary notwithstanding.

I establish that this Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio will be promulgated by its publication in
L'Osservatore Rotnano, entering into force on I September 2013.
Given in Rome, at the Apostolic Palace, on 11 July 2013, thefirst of my Pontificate.

XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

a1d2016

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS

POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE CELEBMTION OF THE

WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 JANUARY 2015

M) UINGER S|-AVE+

BUT BROTHERS AND STSTERS

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift

to all humanity, I offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and woman, to
all the worldt peoples and nations, to heads of state and govemment, and to
religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an end to wars, conflicts and the great
suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present, and by the
devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of
our common calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the
advancement of harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the temptation
to act in a manner unwothy of our humanity.
In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of "the desire for a full life... which
includes a longing for fraternity which draws us to fellowship with others and
enables us to see them not as enemies or rivals, but as brothers and sisters to
be accepted and embraced".[1] Since we are by nature relational beings, meant
to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by justice and love,
it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and
autonomy be acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge of
man's exploitation by man gravely damages the life of communion and our
calling to forge interpersonal relations marked by respect, justice and love. This
abominable phenomenon, which leads to contempt for the fundamental rights of
others and to the suppression of their freedom and dignity, takes many forms. I
would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God's word, we can
t'no longer
consider all men and women
slaves, but brothers and sisters".
Listening to God's plan for humanity

have chosen for this yea/s message is drawn from Saint Paul's
letter to Philemon, in which the Apostle asks his co-worker to welcome
Onesimus, formerly Philemon's slave, now a Christian and, therefore, according
to Paul, wofthy of being considered a brother'. The Apostle of ihe Gcrrtiles
writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted frLrrn you for-a r"r;!-1ilc, that,r.'ou rnight
have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but more than a siave. as a
2. The theme
