Bishop to offer thanksgiving mass on March 21 for new Pope
MANGALORE: The Mangalore diocese will offer the thanksgiving mass for the new Pope Argentina’s Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who takes the name Francis, the patron saint of the Jesuits congregation,
during the chrism mass offered at the Rosario Cathedral here on March 21 at 5 pm.
Fr William Menezes, PRO of the diocese, said, "We are extremely happy on Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s election as the new Pope. We felicitate and pledge our allegiance to him. We wish and pray that his tenure brings about unity and faith among all countries and religions."
Fr William said that all priests of Mangalore diocese will concelebrate the mass along with bishop Most Rev Aloysius Paul D’Souza. On the occasion of chrism mass the bishop blesses three oils - the oil of catechumens, the oil of the infirm and holy chrism - which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the diocese for the year.
Fr Santosh Kamath of Fathima Retreat House said, "It was a very pleasant surprise that the conclave happened quickly. He was in the running during in the previous conclave. He is modern thinker." Fr Kamath will offer thanksgiving mass this Sunday.
Catholic Secular Forum (CSF) general secretary Joseph Dias said that since Pope Francis I is known to be as orthodox as Pope John Paul II, with regard to the stand of the church on controversial issues like euthanasia, capital punishment, abortion, the right to life, human rights, celibacy of priests and others this stance can now be expected to continue.
Fr Cedric Prakash from Prashanth - Centre for Human Rights, Justice and Peace, Ahmedabad said, "We joyously welcome the election of Cardinal Bergoglio as Pope Francis I. His election as the supreme pontiff of the Catholics worldwide has indeed come as a very pleasant surprise."
"In breaking with precedence and choosing the name Francis a great lover of the poor, he has immediately set an agenda for the Catholics to live simple in humility and to focus on accompanying the poor. It is hoped that Pope Francis will bring about a true renewal for the church and the world at large,’’ Fr Prakash added.
