Cardinal Cordes to lecture at Maryvale
Cardinal Paul Cordes, President of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, will give a public lecture at Maryvale Institute of Further and Higher Education, on tomorrow, 8 April, at 2.30pm.
Cardinal Cordes is visiting Great Britain at the invitation of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. He will also address a Plenary Assembly of the Bishops' Conference at Hinsley Hall in Leeds and meet representatives of the Church's charitable agencies.
The Cardinal's Maryvale address will highlight Pope Benedict XVI's first Encyclical Letter "Deus Caritas East", that provides new elucidations on the Christian understanding of love as found in the double commandment of love of God and Neighbour.
The Pontifical Council Cor Unum is the Office of the Holy See that is charged with concrete realisation of the charitable intentions of the Pope.
Archbishop Vincent Nichols said: "The Holy Father's Encyclical Letter "Deus Caritas Est", caught the imagination of many people inside and outside the Church. It is a profound meditation on all aspects of love. The insight of Cardinal Cordes into this Papal teaching will be stimulating."
Archbishop Vincent added: "I welcome the visit of Cardinal Cordes to Maryvale Institute. We are honoured by his presence."
