 | | Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano, in the name of the Holy Father, also celebrated a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica at 12 noon today for the deceased pontiffs whom he recalled in his homily as "masters of sound doctrine, faithful and wise dispensers of those truths which lead us to Heaven." | | | At the end of his homily, the secretary of state said: "Yes, the life of these two great pontiffs was indeed 'a life hidden with Christ in God', because both knew how 'to lose it' for Christ, having placed it in his hands from the very day of their priestly ordination." | | | Bishop Bobadilla Mata was born in Guatemala City in 1932, made his perpetual vows in the community of the Fathers of the Mission of St. Vincent de Paul in 1954, was ordained a priest in 1958 and a bishop in 1987. |

| | That does not mean, of course, that the cardinals, the main pillars of the Catholic Church as a religious institution, are unimportant in the direction of diplomatic and political matters. | | | And so the cardinals, as well as forming the foundations on which the Catholic Hierarchy is erected, are also the pillars of the Catholic Church as a political institution. | | | It was the first time that the Church had invested a Chinese with the robes of a cardinal (Bishop Tien, Vicar Apostolic of Tsing Tao), and the first time it had conferred such an honor on an Australian (Archbishop Gilroy, of Sydney). |

| | When one looked closely at the pontiff and the Secretary of State, one was not struck by the contrast in their origins but rather by their affinity of soul and by the harmony of their thoughts, sentiments and intentions. | | | I saw the cardinal kneeling on the marble floor near the altar, deep in prayer, his head in his hands. | | | He remained profoundly outraged when someone declared to him that God would judge favorably those who lied in high office, for it is not always possible to speak the truth, above all when one would avoid criticism. |

| | Their authority continued down until the middle of the eleventh century, when the reforms of the papal administration, inaugurated after the troubles of the tenth century, placed the cardinals in that position at the Roman curia, which the judices palatini had previously occupied, and the latter gradually disappeared. | | | In later times the designation palatini has been borne (1) by certain cardinals, whose position brings them into constant relation with the pope, and who formerly resided in the papal palace, and (2) the highest prelates of the pope's personal suite. | | | Pius X has abolished the two last-mentioned positions; the holders of the other two are still called cardinales palatini, or "palatine cardinals" but only the cardinal secretary of State lives at the Vatican. |
