Vatican City, 30 October 2012 (VIS) - Benedict XVI will preside at the

between 1508 and 1512.

VENICE COMMEMORATES THE CENTENARY OF THE BIRTH OF “THE SMILING
POPE”
Vatican City, 30 October 2012 (VIS) - A Mass is due to be celebrated this
afternoon in Venice to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Pope John
Paul I, Albino Luciani, who was patriarch of that city from 1969 to 1978. The
pontificate of John Paul
I, who became known as "the Smiling Pope", lasted only 33 days from 26 August
to 28 September 1978. The process for his beatification began in 2003.
The Venetian commemoration will consist of a Mass at 6 p.m. in Saint Mark's
Basilica, presided by Patriarch Francesco Moraglia, who will concelebrate with
bishops of the Triveneto Episcopal Conference. This will be followed at 8.30
p.m. by a concert of
religious music organised by the Procurator of Saint Mark's Basilica, the
Polish Institute in Rome and the "Capella Cracoviensis" of Krakow. During the
intervals, there will be readings of texts by John Paul I.
The programme of the concert will be dedicated to two of the most important
exponents of the Venetian school of the seventeenth century: Giovanni
Gabrieli, composer, organist and choir master of Saint Mark's Basilica, the
four-hundredth anniversary of
whose death falls this year, and Mikolak Zielenski, composer, organist and
choir master linked to the Collegiate of Lowicz, see of the Polish primate.

THE HOLY SEE AND CROATIA: TWENTY YEARS OF INTENSE RELATIONS
Vatican City, 30 October 2012 (VIS) - "The Holy See and Croatia: twenty years
of intense relations” was the theme of a conference held yesterday in
the Vatican to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of
diplomatic relations
between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia.
Speaking at the event Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations
with States, recalled that “in the year 879, in the same month of June
in which modern Croatia annually celebrates its independence, Pope John VIII
addressed a letter to
Prince Branimir informing him that he had raised prayers to the Lord in order
that 'principatum terrenum, quem habes, prospere et securiter reggere possis'.
… These strong ties between Croatia and the Holy See have not
diminished over the
centuries. On several occasions throughout history, and in difficult
circumstances, Croatians have demonstrated their fidelity to the Gospel and to
Peter's Successor”.
He remarked, “During Croatia's millennium-long history, the last twenty
years have been among the most difficult and, at the same time, crucial for
its future, especially those immediately following its independence. However
the challenges
persist, and today Croatians must ask themselves about the values upon which
they intend to build their lives as individuals, and the life of the nation as
a whole”.
“Although the Church and the political community work at different
levels and are independent from one other, both serve the same people who are,
at one and the same time, faithful members of the Church and citizens of the
State. This means that
there is ample space for dialogue and co-operation, in the service of the
dignity of all men and women. At the heart of mutual co-operation, in fact,
lies our shared commitment to the common good and to the promotion of
spiritual and moral values, which
give Croatian society its solid foundations.
"I wish to conclude by expressing the hope that the Republic of Croatia will
continue to progress in both material and, above all, spiritual terms”,
said the archbishop. "In particular I hope that, when Croatia's aspiration to
full integration
into the European Union is achieved, the country will reinforce its identity
and thus act as leaven bringing good to other States”.
