Pope Francis has taken the next steps in the renewal of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta with a decree issued on Saturday.
Pope Francis highlights in the text that the Order has"always enjoyed special protection from the Apostolic See," pointing out how, over the centuries, the various popes have"acted to affirm the identity, to maintain operations, to help overcome crises, as well as to guarantee the existence and development" of the Order, including in its rights of sovereignty in the international sphere.
The Pope explains how through the years he has followed the journey of the Order"with paternal care and concern," and expresses appreciation for its outreach in various parts of the world and his gratitude for"the generous contribution of Members and Volunteers," while"also noting the need to begin a profound spiritual, moral and institutional renewal of the entire Order.
In a statement issued by the Grand Magistry of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Fra’ John Dunlap, Lieutenant to the Grand Master and head of the Provisional Government of the Order, said: “The Order of Malta welcomes the paternal actions of His Holiness which demonstrate the great love the Pontiff has for our Order.
