Rome: "L’Osservatore Romano" lance son nouveau site Internet

À l’occasion du 6e anniversaire du pontificat de Benoît XVI, "L’Osservatore Romano" inaugure un nouveau site Internet (www.osservatoreromano.va), “s’aventurant ainsi avec confiance sur la toile mondiale“.

"Soutenu avec efficacité par le service Internet du Vatican et par la société informatique Everett", le journal du Saint-Siège sera ainsi accessible dans ses différentes éditions. La version électronique de l’intégralité du quotidien sera disponible dès la veille au soir de sa diffusion en format papier. Elle sera en accès gratuit jusqu’au 31 août prochain. Le site nécessitera ensuite un abonnement payant. Il permettra aussi d’avoir accès aux éditions hebdomadaires en italien, anglais, allemand, français, espagnol, portugais et à l’édition mensuelle en polonais.

Sur le site du journal du Vatican, les articles du quotidien, illustrés par des photos, seront en italien et progressivement traduits dans les autres langues, à commencer par l’anglais. L’internaute pourra naviguer sur six onglets classant les articles de "L’Osservatore Romano" par thème : Vatican, international, culture, religion, éditoriaux et interviews. Un accès aux archives du quotidien du Vatican depuis 1861 est enfin prévu.

Merci pour ce lien, j'y ai découvert, en anglais, un article merveilleux du Pape Benoît XVI, dont je donne seulement le lien pour l'instant, et plus tard, lorsque j'aurai le temps, je vous en traduirai quelques lignes essentielles :


La force de gravité qui nous attire vers le haut (qui nous élève) :

The two loves


Possidius, a faithful friend of St Augustine and his first biographer, ends
his Life of the Bishop of Hippo by saying that he lives on for ever in his works. With an expression taken from the unknown epigraph of an unknown pagan poet, even rhetorical, but undeniably confirmed by the extraordinary success of the writings of the Great Father of the Church and by his ongoing influence.

Today this is clearly perceptible in Benedict XVI; to the point that St
Augustine’s fascinating and effective words seem to resonate, in the language of
today, in many of the Pope’s Homilies. This was so in a wholly Augustinian
Homily, during the solemn Palm Sunday celebration, as the seventh year of his
Pontificate began.

Even its layout, which, like De civitate Dei, contrasts the two loves that run through and divide the human soul and the whole of history: love of self and love of God. They are two contradictory tendencies that Benedict XVI translates for the modern mindset by describing them as “a twofold gravitational force”. And he says, lucidly, that everything depends on our ability to escape the gravitational field of evil, for it is only our consenting to be attracted by God that makes us free.

The Homily for Palm Sunday also seems like one of Augustine’s Sermones because the Pope draws inspiration from the reading of the Passio that opens the most sacred week in the Church’s calendar and brings it up to date, thus showing the most authentic and profound meaning of the Christian Liturgy.

Indeed, “it is a moving experience each year on Palm Sunday as we go up the
mountain with Jesus, towards the Temple, accompanying him on his ascent. On this day, throughout the world and across the centuries”, Benedict XVI began,
focusing his gaze on that reality of the Church which is the Communion of
Saints.

But what has the historical ascent of Jesus to Jerusalem for the last Passover of his earthly life to do with our existence, as women and men of the 21st century? Here too the Pope responds by explaining the Gospel text — and not only the Old Testament Scriptures — in addition to the Letter, just like Augustine, on the path opened two centuries earlier by Origen. Here then is the end of Jesus’ pilgrimage: the loftiness of God himself, “the high road that leads to the living God”.

God, therefore, is the gravitational force that can remove us from that force
of gravity which inexorably pulls us down, “towards selfishness, falsehood and
evil”.

The human being and human history, and also “the great achievements of
technology”, are authentic progress “only if we humbly acknowledge that we need to be lifted up”. In the inexhaustible search for that God who showed his face in Jesus.
