UNLAWFUL USE OF POPE'S IMAGE: BENETTON RETRACTION
Vatican City, 15 May 2012 (VIS) - This morning a note from the Director of the
Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., was issued on the
conclusion of the legal conflict between the Holy See and the Benetton Group,
due to its unlawful use of
Pope Benedict XVI's image in the "Unhate" ad campaign.
"Last Friday," reads the communique, "the Benetton Group published a note ...
reaffirming its 'regret for having offended His Holiness Benedict XVI and
believers', and assuring that it 'guarantees and maintains that all
photographic images of the Holy
Father have been retracted from commercial distribution and promises not to
use the image of the Holy Father in the future without authorization from the
Holy See'". It ends with stating that "the Benetton Group will use its
resources to stop the
further use of the image by third parties on internet sites and in other
places".
"The communique of the Benetton Group," emphasizes Fr. Lombardi, "represents
the conclusion, based on an agreed settlement, of the conflict between the
lawyers of the Holy See ... and those of the Benetton Group, a conflict that
took place, as
announced, and has been open until now. The Benetton Group recognizes
therefore ... that the Pope's image must be respected".
"The Holy See did not seek monetary compensation. Nevertheless, moral
compensation in recognition of the abuse committed has been sought as well as
affirming the desire to defend, even by legal means, the Pope's image. In
place of monetary compensation
it has asked and received from the Benetton Group an act of generosity,
effective even if limited, toward one of the Church's charitable activities".

CARITAS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: DIALOGUE BETWEEN TWO SHORES
Vatican City, 15 May 2012 (VIS) - The 2012 meeting of MigraMed for all the
Caritas organizations that operate in the Mediterranean countries will open in
Cagliari, Italy tomorrow, 16 May. This year's forum is dedicated to the
dialogue between the two
shores of "Mare Nostrum" and will touch on, among other themes, the conflict
in the Middle East and North Africa as well as the reception of emigrants and
perspectives of emigration.
"A year after the Arab Spring and during the financial, economic, and social
crisis that Europe is undergoing, Caritas in the Mediterranean, North African,
Middle Eastern, and European areas will meet with Caritas Italy and the
diocesan Caritas
organizations on the theme of emigrants and the politics of development and
welcome", reads a communique from Caritas Italy.
From 16 to 18 May will see the discussion on, among other themes to be
analysed, Italy's system of welcome to those who have fled Libya: 3,000 of the
20,000 reception points in this country are administered under the umbrella of
diocesan Caritas
throughout the Italian territories.
The topic of interreligious dialogue will also be addressed because the
Caritas organizations on the southern shore of the Mediterranean are found in
countries that are, for the most part, Islamic. In this context, Caritas
organizations from Libya,
Morocco, Algeria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Tunisia will take part. Likewise
Caritas from France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Malta, and Albania as well as
representatives from Caritas in the Middle East will participate.
The meeting will provide the opportunity to evaluate the present and future of
emigration in the Mediterranean in light of the transformation in the Middle
East and North Africa, along with Europe's role during this economic crisis
and the humanitarian
emergency of refugees.
