Esterhazy Prize: Cardinal Duka honored-a commitment to the Christian strength!
St. Gallen, Schweiz - in Hungary was awarded a significant honor for Cardinal Dominik Jaroslav Duka in parliament on Friday. The emeritus Archbishop of Prague received the Esterhazy Prize, awarded by the Rakoczi Association, which is committed to strengthening Hungarian communities in the Carpathian Basin. At the award ceremony, Cardinal Peter Erdö praised the winner's commitment to the persecuted of communism and emphasized the importance of keeping the Christian faith alive in Central Europe. Duka thanked him and underlined the continued necessity of the beatification of Janos Esterhazy, whose life and work still have an impact during turbulent times. Esterhazy, a political leader of the Hungarian in Slovakia, was arrested by the Czechoslovak authorities after the Second World War and ultimately sentenced to forced labor before he had to serve a partially pardoned prison sentence, such as Cape reported .
demand for more autonomy for bishops
At the opening of the European Bishops 'Conference in St. Gallen, Bishop Norbert Brunner demanded greater autonomy for the bishops at the opening of the European Bishops' Conference. He found that many decisions, especially in relation to lack of priests and admission conditions, should be treated directly at the level of the bishops. In a speech, Brunner pointed out that the Roman curia often looked at the establishment of bishops conferences and advocated respectful recognition of diversity and independence within the Catholic Church. Such structural changes could make it possible for the bishops to take over more decisive roles in the design of their church life, according to Brunner, as BZ Basel reported .| Details | |
