  本报综合讯,教会当局在1月19日召开的有关中国教会情况的会议经过两天的讨论,于1月20日下午结束。除教廷各部神长外,一些华人神长代表及一些关心中国问题的专家参加了会议。教廷新闻办公室在北京时间1月20日晚8点半发表了声明。
  声明指出,一方面与会者肯定和赞美了中国广大神长教友对福音信仰的美好见证、对教宗坚定不移的忠诚以及与圣父的共融。另一方面,声明强调教会将继续与政府进行相互尊重和建设性对话,以克服过去的误解,在不同层面恢复与中国的外交关系,共同致力于中国人民的福祉,并推动世界和平。声明强调喜见中国教会的快速发展,但声明避免了涉及以前的不愉快,只将对话作为未来的发展方向,并强调了忠于信仰的重要性。
  会议由教廷国务卿贝尔托内主持。会议虽应由教宗本笃十六要求而召开,但教宗并没有出席会议,但会后他耐心地听取了会议报告,并接见了部分与会代表。教宗本笃十六怀着仁慈胸怀许下在不久的将来将亲笔致书我国的广大神长教友。
  中国外交部发言人刘建超在1月18日例行记者会上,回答有关此会议的提问时指出:“中方愿同梵蒂冈建立正常的国家间关系。”他重申在中梵问题上,政府坚持的两个原则没有变。刘建超认为在这两个原则基础上,中梵关系的改善应该会有较好的前景。
  与此同时,很多内地神长教友欢迎这份声明,并期盼新成立负责中国教会事务委员会能准确、全面地认识内地教会,协助解决一些紧迫问题,推动中梵外交关系早日正常化。
  
请广大神长教友为我们的教宗和我们的国家领导人祈福!同时也为祖国的繁荣昌盛、中国教会的修和发展、牧灵福传事业与构建和谐社会祈祷!

英文原文:Vatican Information Service:

POPE TO WRITE A LETTER TO CHINESE CATHOLICS

VATICAN CITY, JAN 20, 2007 (VIS) - The Holy See Press Office today released the following communique at the close of a meeting held in the Vatican from January 19 to 20, on the situation of the Catholic Church in China.

"Pope Benedict XVI, in the desire to deepen his knowledge of the situation of the Catholic Church in China, called a special meeting which took place in the Vatican Apostolic Palace on January 19 and 20, 2007.

"The meeting was presided by Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., and attended by representatives of the Chinese episcopate (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and by the people who, for the Holy See, follow the Chinese question most closely. The wide-ranging and intricate debate was characterized by a frank and fraternal cordiality.

"In the light of the troubled history of the Church in China and of the principal events of recent years, consideration was given to the most serious and urgent ecclesial problems. Problems which call for adequate solutions based on the fundamental principles of the Church''''''''''''''''s divine constitution and religious freedom. The inspiring witness of the bishops, priests and lay faithful was recognized with profound appreciation; without giving way to compromise they have maintained their loyalty to the See of Peter, sometimes at the cost of grave suffering. It was noted with particular joy that today almost all of the bishops and priests are in communion with the Supreme Pontiff.

"There has, moreover, been a surprising numerical growth of the ecclesial community which, in China as elsewhere, is called to bear witness to Christ, to look ahead with hope and, in announcing the Gospel, to measure itself against the new challenges that society is facing.

"From the multiplicity of the participants'''''''''''''''' contributions, what emerged was the will to continue along the path of respectful and constructive dialogue with the governing authorities, in order to overcome the misunderstandings of the past. The hope was also expressed that a normalization of relations at all levels could be achieved so as to facilitate a peaceful and fruitful life of faith in the Church, and to work together for the good of the Chinese people and for peace in the world.

"The Holy Father, who was fully informed of the proposals reached in the course of the meeting, has benevolently decided to address a Letter to Catholics in China."
