Although Latin American church leaders have issued apologies in the past, this
one went further and was much more targeted, the.i..:rr-",-;l:.i..:,:r l.';..:-. reported.
Previous apologies had not been directed at Indigenous Peoples ofthe Americas,
AP said.
The catholic church was 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 tlrem in
the wa1,s of the European-minded settlers. The Caladian Truth and
Reconciliation Commission on June 2 came out r,r.ith a report calling such
practices "cultural genocide" and recommending that Prime l\{inister Stephen
Harper ask the Pope for al apology. Though Harper met wi& pope Fralcis and
mentioned the report, he did not specifically request the apology, and the pontiffs
words in Bolivia did not reference the TRC document.

XLVIII World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, blrt brothers and sisters I Francis

8/16t2016

MESSAGE OF HIS HOUNESS

POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE

WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 ]ANUARY 2015

NO LONGER SIAVES, BUT BROTHERSAND STSTERS

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 wodd's 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 agenc% by epidemics past and present, and by the
devastat'on wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of
our common calling to cooperate with God and all pepple of good will for the
advancement of harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the temptation
to act in a manner unwofthy of our humanity.
1. At

In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of "the desire for a full tife... which
includes a longing for fratemity which draws us to fellowship with others and
enables us to see them not as enemies or riuals, 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 digniLy, 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
consider all men and women "no longer slaves, but brothers and sisters".
Listening to God's plan for humanity
2. The theme I have chosen for this year'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, worthy of being considered a brother'. The Assstle of the Gentiles

writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted frrtrn you for a while, that. y,ou might
have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but more tharr a sla've, as a

OF TIiE. SUPREN{E PONTIFF
F-RANCIS

ON T}{E JUR.ISDICTION OF' JUDICIAI- AUTHOzuTIES OF V,{TICAN CITY STAIE

iN CITIN4NAL MATTEI{S

In our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, tlie inproper
use of the markets and of the econom\/. as \vell as by terrorisrl.

It is therefore necessary for"the intemational community to adopt adequate legai instruments to prevent
and counter criminal activities, by promoting intemational judicial cooperation on criminal matters.
In ratifuing nr,lmerous intenrational conventrons in these areas, and acting also on behalf of Vatican City
State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreernents are effective means to prevent
criminal actirrities that threateu human dignity, the common good and peace.

With a rrtew to renerving the Apostolic See's comrlitment to cooperate to these ends, by lneans of this
Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio.I establish that:
1. The cotnpetent Judicial

Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penal jurisdiction over:

a) crirnes comn-ritted against the security, the ftrndamental interests or the patrimony of the

Holy

See;

b) crimes refened to:

- in Vaticair City State Law No. VIII, of 11 July 201.3, containing Supplententaryt
Nonns on Criminal Latv Matters'.
- in Vatican City State Law No. IX. of 11 July 2013, containing Amendments to
