The Holy See Press Office announced on November 8 that Pope Francis has named Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vatican’s Secretary for Relations with States, as the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura.
Archbishop Mamberti replaces Cardinal Raymond Burke, who has served as prefect since 2008.
Born in Morocco in 1952, Archbishop Mamberti was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Ajaccio (France) in 1981. He earned degrees in civil and canon law and represented the Holy See as apostolic nuncio to Sudan (2002-06), apostolic delegate to Somalia (2002-04), and apostolic nuncio to Eritrea (2004-06). In 2006, Pope Benedict appointed him the Secretary for Relations with States, and thus the Vatican’s “foreign minister.”
As expected, Cardinal Burke, 66, has been named patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, succeeding Cardinal Paolo Sardi, who is 80.

There are good things that we can see and there are good things that we don’t necessarily see. One of the BEST ways we can be prepared for all that is happening and that will still happen is to consecrate ourselves to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish to encourage everyone on this thread to do so via the book, 33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley. You will see a wonderful growth in your spiritual life after doing this...and that is something VERY good for all of us. ;-)
It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Days-Morning-Glory-Do-—Yourself/dp/1596142448/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415482047&sr=8-1&keywords=33+days+to+morning+glory
Again, thank you for your post.
It was just about 40 years ago that I made my first DeMontfort Consecration to Mary. I just recently renewed it using Fr. Gaitley’s book.
St. Maximilian Kolbe made the deMontfort Consecration and made it his apostolate to draw others to do the same.
St. Pope John Paul II made the deMontfort consecration and encouraged all Catholics to do the same.
We are safe in her hands, she is our Mother from the Cross, our gift from her dying Son.
One of my sons is a priest in a Marian Congregation.

So true.
I’ve been busy reading the reviews over on Amazon. 233 five-star reviews out of 249 total comments. Can’t get much better than that! If I can’t find the book at our adoration chapel (we have tons of books), I’ll pick it up with our next order. Thanks for the heads-up.
Imagine a pope who is popular with everyone but Catholics. Or don’t imagine. That’s what we have in Pope Liberal.

I agree. And the chaff are in high places.
