Thursday, July 14, 1988 Couri/sr-Journal Vatican issues guidelines for bishops 9 'ad limina 9 visits By Greg Erlandson Vatican City (NO — The Vatican has issued a new set of guidelines for the mandatory \ad limina\ visits which heads of dioceses make to the Vatican every five years. The guidelines were published out of a need \to regulate the fulfillment of the 'ad limina' visit,\ as well as \the preparations which precede it\ by both the bishops themselves and the\ various Vatican depart- ments, according to a directory containing the guidelines. Preparation should involved not only \reflection and prayer\ on the part of a bishop, but also the filing of a detailed report every- five years describing his diocese, its problems, and its relations with \non- Catholic and non-Christian religious com- munities, with civil society and with the public authorities,\ the directory observed. Such reports should be filed at least six months in advance of an \ad limina\ visit so that a summary could be given to the pope and extracts be provided to interested Vati- can departments, the guidelines said. \Ad limina\ visits are a \visible founda- tion\ of the unity of the bishops with the successor of Peter and a way in which the bishop of Rome can .obtain \reliable and authoritative information on the actual situations of the various churches,\ as well as direct contact with the world's bishops, the document said. Dated June 29, the 43-page document was released by the Vatican July 1. The prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Bernardin Gantin,' signed the document, titled \Directory for the *Ad Limina' Visit.\ \Ad limina\ visits allow each bishop to meet privately with the pope and to venerate the tombs of Sts. Peter and Paul. The visits usually include meetings with curial de- partments as well. Included with the directory were three addenda: \Theological Notes\ by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; \Spiritual- Pastoral Notes\ by Cardinal Lucas Moreira Neves of Sao SalvadoF da Bahia, Brazil, former secretary of the bishops' congrega- tion; and a \Historico-Juridical Consid- eration\ by Monsignor Vicente Carcel Orti, an official of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature. The directory outlines procedures for arranging the dates and schedules for the visits, and lists procedures for meetings with the pope and curial officials. Meetings with the pope involve \personal conversation\ and, whenever possible, a group meeting. Visits with curial depart- ments should be done \in a spirit of communion in truth and in charity,\ the directory said. Bishops .should present problems, ask questions or seek information or clarifica- tions during these meetings.

Cardinal Ratzinger's theological notes, which were prepared for a 1986 summit meeting between the representatives of the Brazilian bishops' conference and the Vati- can, emphasized that \ad limina\ visits are \not merely some kind of administrative procedure.\ It is \an instrument and a real expression of the catholicity of the church, of the unity of the college of bishops embodied in the person of the successor of Peter,\ Cardinal Ratzinger wrote. In their visit to Rome, the bishops \express their recognition that collegiality needs the Petrine center and becomes an unreal idea without that center,\ he ob- served. Cardinal Ratzinger said the visits can involve a \difficult\ meeting between \prin- ciples and lived reality.\ In his summary of the history of ad limina visits, Monsignor Carcel Orti traced the tradition back to the fourth century. The format and conditions of the visits evolved through the centuries, but a constant factor has been the need for the bishops to report regularly to the pope on the situations in their dioceses. Pope John Paul II has given the visits a \radically new stimulus,\ Monsignor Carcel Orti concluded. The pope has intensified the meetings with the bishops, discussing pasto- ral problems with them and \giving them advice and guidelines in abundant doctrinal discourses.\ Advertisement fcfcOUND THf o, %* Cannon's 1551 Mt.
