 Catholic World News (CWN)
Genoa, Nov. 28, 2006 (CWNews.com) - Responding to rumors that Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) will soon issue a motu proprio encouraging broader use of the pre-conciliar liturgy, the Archdiocese of Genoa, Italy, has posted a detailed notice assuring the faithful that the traditional liturgy was not abolished by the Second Vatican Council.
Echoing a theme that Pope Benedict XVI raised in his pre-Christmas speech to the Roman Curia, the Genoa archdiocese emphasizes the development of the liturgy should be seen as organic, with the decisions of one Roman Pontiff always interpreted in light of previous papal statements.
The statement from the Genoa archdiocese seems to be an effort to prepare the faithful for the appearance of the motu proprio, deflecting the criticism that Pope Benedict intends a repudiation of the liturgy of Vatican II.

 Catholic News, from Catholic News Service, in America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
Cardinal-designate Telesphore Toppo of Ranchi, India, a relatively small archdiocese, stood up at a synod in 1990 and said “hard work” was a fact of life for dedicated priests—and added that they should always wear clerical garb, even in predominantly non-Christian societies like India.
Although the pope named seven officials of the Roman Curia as new cardinals, that group is losing numbers as a bloc in a future conclave.
The official said the document, which the Vatican hopes to release by December, will be less detailed than the draft circulated in June to members of the congregations for the Doctrine of the Faith and for Divine Worship and the Sacraments.

In this respect, Pietro Boetto (1871-1946), the Cardinal Archbishop of Genoa, proved to be rather exceptional even though his name is not mentioned in John E Morley's controversial study, Vatican Diplomacy and the Jews During the Holocaust (New York, 1980), which underscores the alleged failure of the Vatican at the time of the Holocaust.
Arriving in Genoa on 3 May 1938 to assume formally his new position, Cardinal Boetto came into a station decorated with Fascist and Nazi banners in preparation for the upcoming visit of both Hitler and Mussolini.
As a member in the inner circles of church government, the new Cardinal-Archbishop of Genoa was not ignorant of these initiatives as Italy started to promulgate the new racial laws in imitation of Germany's horrible policy against the Jews.

Like many Bavarian Catholics, Joseph Ratzinger welcomed the defeat of the Third Reich and the restoration of democracy, the enthusiasm for which he once described as amounting to a kind of “religious fervor” in the post-war years.
Tübingen’s was among the most distinguished theological faculties in Germany, with strong Catholic and Lutheran scholars alike; the chance to be in contact with the latter was, for Ratzinger, one of the attractions of the move to Swabia.
For the long-term future of the Catholic Church, however, the most important thing that happened to Joseph Ratzinger during the August conclave in 1978 was that he finally had a chance to talk seriously with Karol Wojty l a, the archbishop of Kraków.
