APOSTOLIC LETTER
ISSUED MATU PRAPRIO
ln our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the
improper use of the markets and of the economy, as well as by tenorism.
It is therefore necessary for the international community to adopt adequate legal instruments to
prevent and counter criminal activities, by promoting internationaljudicialcooperation on criminal
matters.
ln ratifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of
Vatican City State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective
means to prevent criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.
With a view to renewing the Apostolic See's commitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of
this Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio, I establish that:
1. The competent Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penaljurisdiction
over:
a) crimes committed against the security, the fundamental interests or the patrimony of the Holy
See;
b) crimes referred to:
- in Vatican City State Law No. Vlll, of 11 July 2013, containing Supplementary Norms on Criminal
Law Matters;
- in Vatican City State Law No. lX, of 11 July 2013, containing Amendments to the Criminal Code
and the Criminal Procedure Code;
when such crimes are committed by the persons referred to in paragraph 3 below, in the exercise
of their functions;
c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an intemational agreement ratified by the
Holy See, if the perpetrator is physically present in the territory of Vatican City State and has not
been extradited.
2. The crimes referred to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in
Vatican City State at the time of their commission, without prejudice to the general principles of the
legat system on the temporal appiication of criminai laws.
3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal law, the following persons are deemed "public officials\
a) members, officials and personnel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the
lnstitutions connected to it.
c) those persons who serve as representatives, managers or directors, as well as persons who
even de facto manage or exercise control over the entities directly dependent on the Holy See and
listed in the registry of canonicaljuridical persons kept by the Governorate of Vatican City State;
d) any other person holding an administrative or judicial mandate in the Holy See, permanent or
temporary, paid or unpaid, irrespective of that person's seniority.
4. The jurfsdiction referred to in paragraph f comprfses also the administr:ative liability of juridical
persons arising from crimes, as regulated by Vatican City State laws.
5. When the same matters are prosecuted in other States, the provisions in force in Vatican City
State on concurrent jurisdiction shall apply.
6. The content of article 23 of Law No. CXIX of 21 November 1987, which approves the Judiciat
Order of Vatican City State remains in force.
I establish that this Aposfolic Lefter issued Motu Froprio will be promulgated by its publication in
7-\
Given in Rome, at the Apostolic Palace, on 11 July 2013, the first of my Pontificate.
FRANCISCUS
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
"Some may rightly say, 'When the pope speaks of colonialism, he overlooks certain actions of the church,' " the
Pope said, according to The New York Times. "I say this to you with regreu Many grave sins were committed against
the Native people of America in the name of God."
'I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offense of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the
native peoples during the so-called conquest of America," The Ntw York Times reported.
He spoke to a crowd of more than r,5oo at the l,I/orld Meecing of Popuiar Movements, standing side-by-side with
Bolivian President Evo Morales, the Andean nation's first indigenous president.
Aithough Latin American church leaders have issued apologies in the past, this one went further and was much
more targeted, the Associated Press reported. Previous apologies had not been directed at Indigenous Peoples of
rhe Americas, AP said.
The Catholic Churchwas one of many Christian denominations that ran boarding schools in Canada and the U.S.
designed to "kill the Indian in the child" by taking kids from their families, cutting them offfrom their culrure and
educating them in the ways of the European-minded settlers. The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission
on June z came our with report calling such pracrices "cultural genocide" and recommending that Prime Minister
a
Stephen Harper ask the Pope for an apology. Though Harper met with Pope Francis and mentioned the report, he
did not specifically request the apology, and the Pontiff's words in Bolivia did not reference the TRC document.

Many have called for him to outright rescind the Doc*rine of Discovery uihich paved the wayfor centuries of
oppression against Indigenous Peoples.
The Pontiffis touring SouthAmerica for eight days, with stops in Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. He has come out
srrongly ag-:ainst the environmental rznrages and social injustice of climate change, and in Thursdat's speech he
continued in tlnt vein, by calling leaders who do not defend Mother Earth "cowards." He also said they are
committing "a grave sin," AP said.
1 JANUARY 2015
1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift to all humanity, I
offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and woman, to allthe world's peoples and nations, to
heads of state and governrnent, and to religious leaders. ln dolng so, I pray for an end to wars,
conflicts and the great suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present, and by
the devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of our common
calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the advancement of harmony and
peace in the world, we may resist the temptation to act in a manner unworthy of our humanity.
In mv Messaqe for Peace last year, I spoke of lfie desire for a full life-.- tt'hicfi indudes a longing
for fratemity $'hich draws us to feilourchip wtth others and enables us to see them not as enemies
or rivafs, but as bmthels and sistersto be ace$ed and ernbracd'.1[J Since we are by nature
re{ational beings, meantto find fulfilmentthrough interpersonal relationships inspird by iustice
and love, it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and autonomy be
acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge of man's exploitation by man
gravely damages the life of communion and our calling to forge interpersonal relations marked by
respect, justice and love. This abominable phenomenon, which leads to contempt for the
fundarnental rights of others and to the suppression of their freedom and dignity, takes many
forms. I would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God's word, we can consider all
men and women "no longer slaves, but brothers and sisters".
RECALLING also the "Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples in the
Americas," document AG/DEC. 79 (XLIV-O/l4), which reaffirms that progress in promoting and
effectively protectiqg the rights of the indigmous peoples of the Americas is a priorrty for the
Organization of American States;
RECOGNZING the valuable supporf provided by the raember sfates, observer states, the
organs, agencies, and entities of the Organization of American States for the process within the
Working Group to Prepare the Draft American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;

Americas have made to humanity,
