Francis X Rocca outlines the global challenges facing the new successor of St Peter


VATICAN CITY – The next pope will be taking the helm of a Church which now has a greater variety of forms of worship.

In his almost eight-year pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI worked to emphasise the liturgy’s continuity with the Church’s millennial traditions. He encouraged a revival of Eucharistic adoration and the use of Gregorian chant.

Most significantly, he lifted almost all restrictions on celebration of the Tridentine Mass, which had fallen practically out of use amid the modernising reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council.

“I do not believe in activities, I do not believe in projects – without prayer,” said Coadjutor Archbishop William Goh during his first Sunday Mass after his episcopal ordination.

“If you ask me what is the first thing I want to do,” he said, it is to “pray”. I want to deepen my prayer life, I want to build intimacy with the Lord so I can be sure that what I’m doing is really from God, doing His will and not mine,” he told a packed Cathedral of the Good Shepherd on Feb 24.

Prime Minister s Letter to Archbishop Chia23 January 2013

Dear Most Rev Msgr Chia,

Thank you for inviting me to the Episcopal Ordination Mass and Official Reception of Rev Msgr William Goh. I am sorry that I am unable to attend the Ordination Mass, but I am very happy to accept Your Grace’s invitation to the Ordination Reception on 23 February 2013, and look forward to seeing you then.

I wish also to take this opportunity to thank Your Grace for your contributions to Singapore and the Catholic community over the last 12 years. As Archbishop of the Catholic Church in Singapore, you have been instrumental in the many good works of the Catholic Church. Your support for the Church’s mission to serve the poor and needy, of all faiths and races, has benefited many Singaporeans.
