VATICAN-CONCLAVE
Cardinals in conclave as doors to Sistine Chapel are shut

Vatican City (AsiaNews/Agencies) – All 115 cardinals filed into the Sistine Chapel for the conclave as Joseph Ratzinger, dean of cardinals, started the entry rituals.

The red-robbed prelates chanted the litanies as they proceeded from the Hall of Blessings into the Chapel.

Once inside they intoned the Veni, creator Spiritus, the solemn hymn to invoke the Holy Spirit.

Afterwards, the cardinal electors took a solemn oath of secrecy one at a time, their right hand on the Gospel, to be faithful to the secrecy of the conclave.

"We promise and swear," each said, "to observe with the greatest fidelity and with all persons, clerical or lay, secrecy regarding everything that in any way relates to the election of the Roman Pontiff and regarding what occurs in the place of the election, directly or indirectly related to the results of the voting; we promise and swear not to break this secret in any way."

Following the ceremony, Mgr Pietro Marini, master of the liturgical celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, uttered extra omnes (all out) and shut the doors to the Sistine Chapel.

CHINA-VATICAN
What is the true good of the Church in China
by Card. Joseph Zen Ze-kiunOn the eve of an important meeting in Rome on "Jesus our contemporary," Card. Zen asks all Catholics to help the Church in China (and especially its legitimate bishops) to emerge from ambiguity, to follow Benedict XVI and "rid" themselves of those organisms that are enemies of the faith (see PA, Bureau of Religious Affairs, etc. .), and that control and stifle the faithful. The Chinese Church is on the verge of a schism caused by "bargaining" between the Catholic faith and political power. The subtitle of this article (wanted by the author) is: "In dialogue with the Community of Saint Egidio and Gianni Valente of 30Days".

Msgr. Savio Hon: Freedom for arrested bishops and priests, is also good for China
by Bernardo CervelleraEven if the government does not give answers or to the Holy See, or diplomats, or to friends of the Vatican and China, it is important that "no one forgets about them." The Chinese government's official response when asked is always: "We do not know." "We need to pray first," "but we must also appeal to those who are holding them."
