ANNUAL PLENARY OF THE PONTIFICAL BIBLICAL COMMISSION
Vatican City, 12 April 2012 (VIS) - The annual plenary session of the
Pontifical Biblical Commission is to be held from 16 to 20 April at the "Domus
Sanctae Marthae" inside Vatican City under the presidency of Cardinal William
Joseph Levada, prefect of
the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, according to a communique made
public today.
The meeting will be chaired by Fr. Klemens Stock S.J., secretary general of
the commission, and the participants will continue their reflections on the
theme of "Inspiration and Truth in the Bible". As a first stage in its
examination of this subject,
the commission has chosen to focus attention on the way in which inspiration
and truth appear in Sacred Scripture. On the basis of their individual
competencies, each participant will present a report which will then be
discussed by the assembly as a
whole.

FAMOUS FIGURES WRITE ABOUT THE POPE
Vatican City, 12 April 2012 (VIS) - On Monday 9 April, Edmund Stoiber, former
minister-president of Bavaria, Germany, presented the Holy Father with a
German-language book entitled: "Benedikt XVI - Prominente uber den Papst" in
which twenty leading
figures in the Church and from the worlds of politics, culture, the economy
and sport have written their individual view on the person and works of the
current Pontiff. Contributors include Cardinal Kurt Koch; Cardinal Joachim
Meisner; German finance
minister Wolfgang Schauble, Olympic sportswoman Maria Hofl-Riesch, and
footballer Franz Beckenbauer.
The book, which is being published by "Media Maria Verlag", has a prologue by
Msgr. Georg Gaenswein, private secretary to Benedict XVI, who also contributed
one of the articles. In his preface Msgr. Gaenswein notes that "the opinions
are not only those
of Catholics but also of Evangelical Christians. They do not hide their
Christian faith and are not afraid to give voice to a number of 'desiderata'.
Each contribution is like the tile of a mosaic which helps to create a
chromatic image in which the
essential aspects of Benedict XVI's pontificate become clear".
