Who runs the Vatican after the pope steps down?

Alessandro Speciale As of 8 p.m. on Feb. 28, Pope Benedict XVI will no longer be pope and the Vatican will go into “sede vacante” mode -- a Latin expression that means that the seat of St. Peter is vacant.

So who’s in charge until a new pope is chosen? The “interregnum” between two popes is governed by ancient rituals and by institutions half forgotten even within the Vatican.

But it is also the only time that the Catholic Church comes close to vaguely resembling a democracy, with the College of Cardinals acting somewhat like a Parliament with limited powers as it prepares to choose the new pontiff in a closed-doors conclave.

According to Universi Dominici Gregis -- a 1996 document by John Paul II that regulates what happens between the death or resignation of a pope and the election of his successor -- during the “sede vacante” period all the heads of Vatican departments “cease to exercise their office,” with few exceptions.

The only officials to remain in their posts are the vicar of Rome, who continues to provide for the pastoral needs of Romans, and the major penitentiary, the official who grants absolutions and dispensations.

This means that as of 8:01 p.m. on Feb. 28, the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, will also lose the post that’s the rough equivalent of a prime minister.

But Bertone holds another post that plays a key role during the the interregnum: camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church.

The camerlengo, together with the Apostolic Chamber (an office dating back to the Middle Ages that once acted as the papacy’s treasury), runs the Vatican state and is in charge of the church’s property and money in the absence of the pope.

Page 4

In preparation for his resignation, Benedict on Feb. 13 appointed Archbishop Giuseppe Sciacca, the deputy governor of the Vatican City State, as auditor general of the Apostolic Chamber, a position that had been vacant since 2010.

Sciacca will act as a sort of legal adviser to the camerlengo and to the vice camerlengo, retired Italian Archbishop Pier Luigi Celata.

During the period between popes, the dean of the College of Cardinals (currently Cardinal Angelo Sodano, a former secretary of state under Pope John Paul II) presides at the daily meetings, or congregations, of the cardinals that effectively run the church on an interim basis. But as Sodano is over 80, and so won’t have the right to vote in the conclave, his place will be taken by the most senior member of the College of Cardinals, Giovanni Battista Re, a former head of the Vatican’s department for bishops.

Bertone, the camerlengo, presides at smaller meetings of a select group of cardinals, chosen by lot every three days, that deal with lesser issues.

The power of the assembly of cardinals is limited. According to John Paul’s 1996 instructions, it “has no power or jurisdiction in matters which pertain to the Supreme Pontiff during his lifetime or in the exercise of his office.”

Its sole task, in fact, is to “dispatch of ordinary business and of matters which cannot be postponed” and to prepare the conclave that will elect the next pope.

In the daily congregations, which must be attended by all cardinals of voting age (under 80) who have already arrived in Rome, cardinals decide by majority vote.

Once the conclave elects the new pope and he accepts, governance of the Vatican returns to the pope’s hands.

An unprecedented event, the news of which is still ringing around the world: Benedict XVI has renounced the Papacy.

The Pontiff himself made the

Legal Advertising: The Ladera Ranch News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A227454 on December 30, 2004 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the community of Ladera Ranch..

Race fans looking for a stress-free, convenient and affordable way to get to Auto Club Speedway’s Auto Club 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race need not look any further! Auto Club Speedway (ACS) has again partnered with Metrolink to provide direct train service to the Auto Club 400 on Sunday, March 24 at Auto Club Speedway.

Metrolink train tickets to the Auto Club 400 are only $19 for one (1) round trip train ticket.

Metrolink will operate three trains originating from Oxnard, Lancaster and Oceanside with limited stops in between for faster service. Train routes and stops include: Route 1: Oxnard to ACS Oxnard Moorpark Chatsworth Van Nuys Covina Montclair Rancho Cucamonga Auto Club Speedway Route 2: Lancaster to ACS Lancaster Santa Clarita Sylmar/San Fernando Downtown Burbank L.A. Union Station Auto Club Speedway Route 3: Oceanside to ACS Oceanside San Clemente Irvine Orange Riverside-La Sierra San Bernardino Auto Club Speedway Metrolink’s Speedway trains stop at a specially constructed station just off the back straight-away at the race track. From there, passengers will board a free tram that takes them to the entrance gates. Trains depart Auto Club

Speedway one hour after the end of the race, or checkered flag.

The Auto Club Speedway Metrolink Train Service is a joint demonstration project made possible in part by Clean Transportation Funding from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC). The MSRC’s mission is to fund projects that reduce air pollution to meet the region’s clean air goals. Over its 22-year history, the MSRC has assisted organizations throughout the Southland in removing as much as 8,000 tons of harmful pollutants from the air through innovative programs designed to reduce air pollution from mobile sources.

“The MSRC is excited to partner with these organizations and will provide up to $57,000 in Clean Transportation Funding for the special Metrolink train service to the Auto Club 400. Having fans take public transportation to the races takes cars off the road cutting congestion and air pollution, which helps advance the MSRC’s mission to reduce harmful emissions from mobile sources,” said L.A. County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who serves on the Metrolink Board of Directors and MSRC as an appointee from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Metrolink riders can bring food and non-alcoholic beverages on board the train. Items are not

permitted to be stored at the Speedway train station; however fans may utilize lightweight backpacks and soft side bags/coolers, no larger than 6x6x12 inches, that may contain race weekend essentials. For a complete list of approved carry-in items, please visit www. autoclubspeedway.com.

The Metrolink trains to Auto Club Speedway are special trains; regular Metrolink tickets and passes are not valid. The Auto Club Speedway train tickets are sold only by Auto Club Speedway and are mailed out prior to the race. To purchase race and train tickets or for information on the Auto Club Speedway train schedule, call Auto Club Speedway at (800) 944-RACE (7223), log on to www.autoclubspeedway.com or visit the Auto Club Speedway Ticket Office.

Adopting a Shelter Pet If you’re thinking about getting a new pet, consider going to an animal shelter to find that new family member. There are about 3,500 shelters in the United States that serve an estimated 5 to 7 million homeless animals, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Why adopt from a shelter?

You will make a pet happy. By adopting from a private humane society or animal shelter, breed rescue group, or the local animal control agency, you’ll help a homeless pet find a new home.

You will receive a healthy pet. Most shelters follow strict medical protocols including examinations when pets come in and vaccinations before they leave. In addition to medical care, shelters also screen animals for specific temperaments and behaviors to match each pet with the perfect family. Animal shelters have happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home.

You will support your community and save money at the same time. Adopting from an animal shelter is usually less expensive, as your local shelter will just ask for a moderate adoption fee that will mainly cover basic routine medical care costs. Shelter pets are also usually already spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Finally, you help promote responsible pet ownership through your community.

about the pet’s background. Was it a stray or given up by its owner? Did it come from a loving home?

Did it live with other pets or with children?

Spaying/neutering – Most shelters have policies to make sure that animals leave spayed or neutered. Some take care of this before the animals are available for adoption. Others schedule the procedure when the animal goes home and either finalize the adoption once it is performed, or refund the spay/neuter deposit once proof is provided.

Every dog and cat deserves a home. When you adopt from a shelter, you provide a pet with another chance at finding love and a forever home.

local dentiSt dr. michael teSSier ShoWS patientS hoW to enJoy their donutS and Still keep their teeth and gumS in good Shape “Everyone past the age of ten already knows that the residues from donuts, cakes, candies and those sugary drinks are going to be on the teeth all day, making cavities” says popular local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier .But rather than giving his patients along lecture and wagging his finger at them ,the good doctor often surprises them by offering them yet another sweet treat, saying “Here, try this instead .At my office, we also have a Tic-Tac- like sucky candy that is sweetened with xylitol, which coats the tooth surfaces with a decay-resistant biofilm. We highly recommend that for our patients going through orthodontic tooth straightening, or for anyone who is genetically pre-disposed to tooth decay.”

Dr. Tessier adds; “Most people with busy lives find choosing the very best nutritious food is hard to do and sometimes we give in to the temptation of enjoying a doughnut instead of an apple or more nutritious fruit. Treating tooth decay today is nowhere near as onerous as it was when I was a kid. Most cavities can be filled using modern 21st century technology rather than the dreaded drill. Here in my dental office in Rancho Santa Margarita I use a laser! It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specific localized area in the space of a few minute visits; the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best!

Regular visits to the dental office for tooth cleaning and routine inspections will prevent serious conditions from developing in your mouth and guarantee a long and happy relationship with your teeth. If you sometimes give in to a sweet-tooth temptation, don’t worry. For Tessier and his team of happy dental assistants are always there to save the day!

As Dr. Tessier says,” I’m a Grandpa, and it is my duty, my prerogative to take my little guys out for a do-nut on occasion. But only on the weekend and only when they’ve also had something nutritious to eat. Please call my office at (949)-459-7212. If you need more information on this subject, or need to make an appointment. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Office is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway down the walkway from Starbucks and the do-nut shop- how ironic.

He was soon dubbed the “Grand Seigneur of the Hollywood Portrait.” He established his own studio on the Sunset Strip and later worked for Warner Bros. The museum’s collection contains many Hurrell photographs, including those of the early artists and other prominent people of Laguna Beach, as well as a portfolio of ten portraits of important Hollywood stars, including John Barrymore, Gary Cooper, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Katharine Hepburn. The exhibition presents a selection of about forty works.

JOHN MASON: BLUE WALL

February 24-October 6, 2013 The museum hosts a special exhibition of Blue Wall, on loan from artist John Mason. The large scale wall sculpture was recently on display at The Getty Museum as part of its Pacific Standard Time exhibition Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950-1970.

Blue Wall is an abstract large-scale

sculpture, which ignited a new genre of ceramic walls in 1959. It is considered the best example of abstract expressionist ceramics. Mason began his first largescale sculptures in 1957 leading up to the monumental Blue Wall (1959). Laboriously laid out in one night so the clay could dry evenly, Mason worked directly on the floor, shaping and molding the clay. The sculpture was then cut into shapes and separated into over one hundred pieces.

The pieces were then fired and fitted to form on the wall. The clay has been sculpted, pushed, built-up, and cut into, creating a rhythmic ripple throughout the piece.

Born in Madrid, Nebraska in 1927, Mason enrolled at the Otis Art Institute (then the Los Angeles County Art Institute) in 1949. Two years later, his interest in ceramics led him to serve as a teaching assistant at Chouinard Art Institute and then returned to Otis working closely with Peter Voulkos. Mason also taught classes at UC Berkeley, where Voulkos became a faculty member, and at Pomona College in Claremont, before accepting a teaching position at UC Irvine in 1967, founding the ceramics department. Mason showed with the Ferus Gallery from 1957 until its closure in 1966. He continues to live and work in Los Angeles. His notable exhibitions include Pasadena Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Hudson River Museum.

the main-level galleries. On show this fall is a selection curated by the museum’s new Executive Director, Dr. Malcolm Warner—who joined Laguna Art Museum in January from the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was deputy director. Among the most familiar images are paintings by members of the artists’ colony that flourished in Laguna Beach in the early years of the twentieth century, notably The Old Post Office by Joseph Kleitsch (pictured left); The Golden Hour, Laguna Beach by Frank Cuprien; Spring in the Canyon by William Wendt; Laguna Beach by Clarence Hinkle; and the oldest know oil painting to be created in California, San Gabriel Mission by Ferdinand Deppe (c. 1832). Later developments are represented by paintings and sculptures from Francis de Erdely, Hans Burckhardt, John McLaughlin, Lorser Feitelson, John Altoon, Billy Al Bengston, Craig Kauffman, DeWain Valentine, John McCracken, Roger Kuntz, Ed Kienholz, and Llyn Foulkes. The display also features some

privately-owned masterpieces of California art that appear as “special guests” among the museum’s own holdings, along with some museum pieces that have been recently acquired or restored. ”I’m still relatively new to the museum, and taking the lead in selecting this permanent collection show is a wonderful way for me to get to know the collection,” said Dr. Warner. “Hopefully I can bring a fresh eye to the process and bring out some unexpected gems as well as the familiar favorites.

THE PERMANENT COLLECTION November 4, 2012-April 28, 2013 Laguna Art Museum’s collection consists of over 3,500 works from the early nineteenth century to the present day, with significant examples from all periods of California art. It is some time since the highlights of the museum’s own collection of California art have all been displayed together in The Ladera Ranch News

Pacific Coast Wine Festival Raises over $200,000 for Pacific Symphony Artistic and Education Programs

Co-chairs for Pacific Coast Wine Festival (left to right) Fred Salter, Valerie Van de Zilver, and Mike Kerr

The sixth annual Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF) drew 325 people to the elegant five-star Island Hotel in Newport Beach on February 16 to revel in a plethora of flavors offered by approximately 50 wineries. Among the evening’s world-class wine experts was Master Sommelier Michael Jordon, who shared wines from the Piedmont wine region of Italy and Master of Wine and Cape Wine Master Peter Koff, who represented wines from South Africa. The French and Italian selections pleased those with Old World tastes, but the California wines were no less exceptional, ranging from cult and storied artisanal wines.

The sensational evening included a wine-paired culinary feast and silent and live auctions that included rare bottles of wine and exceptional experiences—which raised glasses, spirits and $200,000 in net proceeds for Pacific Symphony’s artistic and education programs!

David and Michelle Horowitz with Tom Roddel

Launching just six years ago, the Pacific Coast Wine Festival has cumulatively brought in more than $800,000 over six years. Attended by both wine enthusiasts and music supporters, this year’s extravaganza was co-chaired by Mike Kerr, Fred Salter and Valerie Van de Zilver.

Guests arrived to view sleek Ferraris and Maserati’s lining the hotel walkway and once inside, they strolled among the silent auction and appetizers of smoked salmon, crème fraiche and caviar; crostini with olive tapenade; smoked duck with mango chutney; and imported cheeses with grapes, walnuts and dried fruit, while tasting an array of extraordinary wines.

“The 2013 Pacific Coast Wine Festival was awesome!” declares festival co-chair Kerr. “Our guests were treated to 90 different wines, including six sparkling wines from three different continents. In all, we had 17 different varietals to choose from. Clearly over-the-top—but what a line-up!”

The dazzling variety of wines chosen by Advanced Sommelier Jim Huston from Charlie Palmer included Domaine Serene, Herb Lamb Vineyard, Lewelling, Lewis Cellars, Martinelli Vineyards, Neal Family, Vega Sicilia and many others.

Guests enjoyed a three-course meal with wine pairings designed by the Island Hotel’s Executive Chef David Mann. Tables were adorned in shades of wine colors and corks peeked out of centerpieces. The feast began with a fresh fig and baby mache salad with blue cheese and toasted almonds; assorted breads; marinated filet with sweet potato au gratin and vegetables; followed by coffee and a decadent chocolate salted caramel mousse.

Talented members of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra including Katherine Park, violin; Matthew Gustafson, cello; and Natalie Cernius, piano, performed Dvorák’s Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90, “Dumky” VI. Lento Maestoso.

The evening culminated with an exciting live auction led by Jim Nye and featuring some of the finest wines and auction lots in the U.S. Among the more fierce bidding were eight rare bottles of a new Screaming Eagle variety (eight years in the making), called Second Flight—consisting of estate-grown Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

It is widely recognized as an outstanding ensemble making strides on both the national and international scene, as well as in its own burgeoning cultural community. The Symphony has played Michele Forsyte and Pacific a central role in the phenomenal Symphony President John Forsyte growth of the performing arts in Orange County. Presenting more than 100 concerts a year and a rich array of education and community programs, the Symphony touches more than 275,000 Orange County residents—from school children to senior citizens.

Santa Margarita students bring Pastries to local area senior homes.

In the summer of 2012 Kaitlin Sandell, President and Founder of Purpose Pastries Club at Santa Margarita Catholic High School came up with an idea to marry her love of baking and her wonderful memories of her great-grandfather “Baba”.

Having the love of family and visiting Baba at his retirement home she recalled seeing how many seniors did not have any family or friends to visit with them on a regular basis. Entering her Freshman year at SMCHS she formed a club called Purpose Pastries to bake cookies, visit with the seniors, playing games and even helping them Skype with family members and learn computer skills. With over 30 members in the Club today Kaitlin and her officers; Bridget Callahan (Vice President), Peyton Zimmer (Treasurer) and Megan Lund (Secretary), bring baking and smiles to the residents at Park Terrace in Rancho Santa Margarita and Atria Del Sol Senior Living in Mission Viejo. Their mission is to bring companionship, fun and a sweet treat to enrich seniors ‘ lives.

4 Times More Volunteers Trained in 2013

By Melanie Hoopes Several Trabuco Canyon residents braved rain early Saturday January 26th to participate in a biennial survey of the Orange County homeless.

“Laguna Beach does a better job than other Orange County cities in caring for its homeless,” said guide Maurice Lopez. “They open the churches when it rains, that’s why we didn’t find too many today.” Many volunteers were disappointed that they weren’t able to survey more homeless—and offer them the gifts—but the information they gathered is still useful.

The roughly 700 volunteers came from several Orange County charities and attended detailed training in preparation for the homeless count.

OC Partnerships, an organization which coordinates efforts among the private and government groups who serve the homeless, spearheaded the effort, which “Every homeless person also included 220 formerly homeless guides who have first-hand knowledge I surveyed was either addicted to drugs or alcohol, or of the county’s homeless situation. suffered from mental illness,” The volunteers reported at 4 a.m, said Melanie Hoopes of were divided into groups and assigned Trabuco Canyon. “Clearly a guide and an area.

CATHOLIC Bishop KEVIN Vann VisitS SANTA MARGARITa Wednesday, February 12th, not only marked the first day of Lent with our Ash Wednesday Mass, it also served as an opportunity to welcome our newly appointed Bishop, Kevin W. Vann, to preside over his first High School Mass within the Diocese of Orange.

Bishop Vann was joined by Father Craig Butters and Deacon Carl Swanson of San Francisco Solano in front of the entire SMCHS student body, faculty and staff, members of the media, and several guests as we began this 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting.

In addition to serving as our officiant, Bishop Vann toured the SMCHS campus with President Paul Carey and Principal Ray Dunne, where they visited the Sacred Heart Chapel, stopped in several science and religion classes, and met with the Counseling Office in the Academic Services Center Our students were treated to the

sounds of Bishop Vann on the piano when he stopped in a choir class, seniors received his Twitter Handle when Bishop Vann asked them to follow him on Twitter, and he was

presented with a new ‘SM Eagles’ hat so he could show his Eagle Pride when he is off campus.

SMCHS was honored to have Bishop Kevin W. Vann not only serve

as the officiant at our Ash Wednesday service, but also to be the first High School in the Diocese of Orange where he presided over mass.
