Bariloche’s Best Hike: Cerro Tronador

Bariloche’s Best Hike: Cerro Tronador

This blog may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy for more info.

Bariloche is a small city in Argentina near the border of Chile in the region of Patagonia. It is the perfect place to visit if you want to enjoy the beautiful mountains, and of course, hike!

When we visited, we were lucky enough to experience a hike like no other, the hike to Refugio Otto Meiling at the base of Cerro Tronador (also known as Tronador Hill.) Sure, there are some great hikes around Bariloche, but in our eyes, nothing compared to Cerro Traonador.

This was surprising as the Cerro Tronador hike seems to be much less popular than other hikes from Bariloche.

So, in this blog, we are going to tell you everything you need to know about Cerro Tronador including the hike to its base, staying in the Refugio, day trips, and more! This way, you’ll be able to have the same amazing experience that we did!

About Cerro Tronador

Cerro Tronador is the tallest mountain near Bariloche. It is so tall that it actually towers about 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) higher than the others nearby. At 3,400 meters (11,155 feet) above sea level, it is a large and impressive mountain peak.

Cerro Trandor is located in Nahuel Huapi National Park. There are actually 8 glaciers on Cerro Tronador alone, two of which are quite famous and easily reached on a hike to its base (Castaño Overa and Alcerce.)

Because of its size and number of glaciers, mountaineers love tackling the challenging Cerro Tronador. However, for most people, hiking to the base of the mountain (where a mountain hut is located) is as far as they’ll go.

Hiking to the hut on Cerro Tronador is easily one of the best things to do in Bariloche, and if you like hiking, it’s an activity I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

How to Hike Cerro Tronador (Tronador Hill)

If you want to walk right in between two glaciers, see a glacier waterfall, Condors, and have 360-degree panoramic views of the Andes, then you will need to hike Tronador Hill (the base of Cerro Tronador.) This hike is amazing, and to me, well worth doing!

Note: Only those with extreme mountaineering experience can summit Cero Tronador. The hike we are referring to in this blog is the hike up Tronador Hil to the base of Cerro Tronador.

Where does the Cerro Tronador hike start from?

at the beginning of the cerro tronador trAILDan and I at the beginning of the trail!

The hike begins in Nahuel Huapi National Park from a place called Pampa Linda. Pampa Linda is located 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Bariloche and can be reached via car or shuttle bus. The shuttle bus takes 2 hours from Bariloche and costs 7500 ARS ($44 USD) for a round-trip ride.

If you rent a car and drive yourself, be sure to check road opening times ahead of time and plan your visit around them.

We have written a separate guide all about renting a car in Patagonia if you want to learn more about it!

If you want to take the shuttle, you can book it with the Refugio online in advance here.

At Pampa Linda, there is a small hotel and restaurant as well as a ranger’s office where you will need to register your plans. If you want, you can actually book a night or two at Pampa Linda and base yourself there for a day hike up Tronador Hill.

How long and difficult is the Cerro Tronador hike?

hiking cerro tronador or tronador hill from barilocheAt the end, you might even be hiking through snow!

From Pampa Linda to the base of Cerro Tronador is a 14-kilometer (8.7 miles) walk that ascends over 1,000 meters (3,200 feet.) It took us 4.5 hours on the way up at a fairly steady pace, and less than 3 hours on the way down.

The trail is particularly well maintained, but it is a challenging hike, particularly on the way up.

The trail begins in a forest with lots of shade, but by the end, you’ll be hiking on volcanic rock and completely exposed to the elements.

You’ll know you’ve made it to the end when you reach a small hut, or Refugio, called Refugio Otto Meiling. Here, you can choose to spend a night in the hut, camp, or turn around and make your way back down.

You hike back to Pampa Linda on the same trail as the way up.

How much does it cost to hike Cerro Tronador?

Let’s look at an example if you book at the Refugio Otto Meiling.

Otto Meiling Refuge:

  • Per night – 7800 ARS ($46 USD)
  • Lunch – 2500 or 3500 ARS ($14.75-$20.75 USD)
  • Dinner – 3500 or 4500 ARS ($20.75-$26.50 USD)
  • Half board – 15800 ARS ($93 USD)
  • Full board – 23800 ARS ($140 USD)

Due to COVID, you currently need to book Refugio Otto Meiling online from their website.

You must also pay the national park entrance of 2,700 ARS ($18.56 USD) (Current price as of September 2022). This is paid when you enter the national park before reaching Pampa Linda.

Other expenses are the shuttle from Bariloche and back which costs 7500 pesos ($44 USD), accommodation at Refugio Otto Meiling or Pampa Linda, gear rental, or food as needed.

Should you spend the night?

Otto Meiling Refugio at the base of Cerro Tronador.Otto Meiling Refugio at the base of Cerro Tronador.

This is totally up to you but I recommend either spending a night at Refugio Otto Meiling or Pampa Linda, OR going on an organized tour. The reason is that the hike is rather long and difficult to complete in one day with enough time to catch the shuttle back to Bariloche (usually departs Pampa Linda at 5 pm.)

Personally, we stayed at the refugio and loved having all of the extra time up on the mountain. So, that would have to be my personal recommendation.

However, the Refugio is very basic (more on that below) so if you want a proper hotel and comfort then the Hosteria Pampa Linda may be more suited for you. You must book Hosteria Pampa Linda in advance, but Refugio Otto Meiling currently needs to be booked in advance due to the effects of COVID-19.

If you are very short on time and only have one day to spare, you can book a tour complete with transport from Bariloche (more on that below!)

Refugio Otto Meiling

sleeping room at otto meiling refugioThis is the upstairs of Refugio Otoo Meiling, where everybody sleeps on mattresses on the floor.

Refugio Otto Meiling is a very basic mountain hut located right at the base of Cerro Tronador. At the hut, there is a small kitchen, lots of tables, bathrooms with flushing toilets and running taps (no showers), and a large open upstairs with mattresses on the floor for sleeping.

It isn’t luxurious, but it is a great way to spend a night at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world.

On the price list above, you can find the prices for spending a night in the hut as well as food and drinks. If you want to cook your own meal you’ll just need to pay a small fee to use the kitchen.

Drinking water is available for free.

Camping is also free and permitted around the Refugio only (you are not allowed to camp anywhere else along the trail.) Just be sure to bring a good tent if you plan on camping as the winds can be very strong up there! You can rent tents from various shops in Bariloche before you go as well as sleeping bags and cooking equipment.

At the time we went you could not book Refugio Otto Meiling in advance and they were always accommodating people who showed up. However, due to COVID-19, you must now make a reservation online in advance to stay here (as of December 2022).

Hosteria Pampa Linda

Hosteria Pampa Linda is the hotel at the very beginning of the trail. It is a proper hotel with comfortable standard rooms available as well as a restaurant.

The reviews are very good for this hotel and most people who stay here enjoy it. It is also very affordable at about $100 USD per night for two people.

If you want to hike Cerro Tronador but spend a night somewhere nicer than the Refugio, Hosteria Pampa Linda is a good option. You can even book excursions like horseback riding up the trail from there too!

You should book this hotel online in advance as it is often booked up!

The Hanging Glacier

the hanging glacier Castaño OveraThe hanging glacier, Castaño Overa

Along the trail, there is a side trip to a hanging glacier called Castaño Overa. This adds an extra 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) to your trip but is well worth it if you ask me!

The glacier is literally hanging off the edge of a cliff and waterfalls pour from beneath it. It was a sight I’d never seen before and was amazing.

We visited the glacier on the way back down from the refugio on day 2. We did this because going down was much quicker than the way up (on day 1) and much easier. So, the added couple of kilometers were easily doable on day 2.

Cerro Tronador Excursions (Day-trips from Bariloche)

Unfortunately, if you want to hike all the way to Refugio Otto Meiling, there is no tour available (that I am aware of anyways). The tours to Cerro Tronsodor from Bariloche do go to Pampa Linda where you get amazing views of Cerro Tronador.

The tours also include commentary and stops at several other gorgeous viewpoints including the Black Glacier.

Although not a hiking tour, this particular tour comes highly rated and offers the chance for some incredible views! It will be a long day in the car but if you aren’t planning on doing a lot of hiking this is a good option to see the peaks of Cerro Tronador and the beautiful rivers, lakes, and glaciers along the way.

Wow, what a place to end our time in Patagonia! This truly was a Patagonia highlight for us and would recommend this to everyone heading to Bariloche.

Where to stay in Bariloche

Whether you are preparing to hike in Bariloche or need a place to rest after a long hiking day we recommend staying right in Bariloche. There are a lot of accommodation options, so here’s our list of stays for any budget to make planning easier.

Budget Hostels in Bariloche

Hospedaje Penthouse 1004

For just around $29 USD for a dorm bed you can have yourself an epic view from the hostel’s penthouse lounge and dining areas. It is a super cozy and homey place to stay and breakfast is included daily. It’s right on the main square so getting around couldn’t be easier. They also have private rooms with shared baths.

HOPA-Home Patagonia Hostel & Bar

Located several streets away from the main party zone you will be able to sleep without all the noise. Plus the hostel has an on-site bar if you want to socialize with other travelers. A dorm bed here starts at $22 USD and this property includes breakfast and has an averaged size shared kitchen, free wifi, and luggage storage provided. One of the main cons here is a limited number of bathrooms.

Mid-range Hotel in Bariloche

Hotel Aspen Ski

Affordable modernized hotel centrally located. A double room averages $95 USD a night and they are clean and spacious. You are offered to enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet and the lobby has a game room with a pool and poker table.

Luxury Hotel in Bariloche

Arelauquen Bungalows & Suites 

Located on the Arelauquen Golf Pro and Country Club this facility is truly beautiful! They offer entire bungalows that hold 2-4 adults and have a full kitchen, balcony, and spa tub. You will have incredible lake views around the property and most rooms. It has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, and a spa. At just $210 for a two-person bungalow this place is a steal. The only con is being a 25-minute drive from downtown.

Planning your Trip to Patagonia

Accommodation in Patagonia

Booking accommodation is one of the biggest aspects of your trip, and we should know as we stay in a new hotel up to 40 times per year! Funny enough, we make 99% of these bookings on one website and that’s Booking.com – and there are a few reasons why we use this site!

Number one is the website is easy to use and sorts accommodation options. That takes the stress out of planning which honestly still affects us and we do it more than not.

Second, is the price guarantee. We have literally booked a hotel months before and then 1 week out found it cheaper (we always do a quick search), and they’ll match that price from anyone’s website including the hotels!

And third, is the Genius loyalty program. If you make a certain amount of bookings per year you get a Genius discount. We are level-two geniuses because we make more than 5 a year. At participating hotels, we get things like free breakfast included, early check-in, and up to 15% off.

You can check out all their accommodation options throughout Patagonia!

Renting a car in Patagonia

Our rental car in PatagoniaOur rental car!

We enjoyed a rental car for our second trip to Patagonia – and wow, what a way to travel! But the best part was that we only paid $40 USD per day for a 5-person sedan!

But how? Well if you’re renting a car the cheapest company is Discover Cars. We often get questions from readers asking us if the website is fake because it seems too cheap! The truth is, they are a great company that we actually used for our own rental car.

If you do want to compare prices (and you should) do a quick search on Airport Car Rentals too. They’re another big competitor and each company often has its own deals to offer!

Tours in Patagonia

We love booking our tours on the website Viator! Not only does it make it super easy because you can compare tours all in one place, but it is safe and you can pay in your home currency (so you’ll save on currency conversion fees from your bank!) On top of that, you can check reviews from other travelers so that you know exactly what you are getting.

Most tours on Viator also offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts, which we love! Being flexible when we travel is super important to us.

You can browse Viator easily online here.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance!

If you’re looking to save money on travel insurance, we currently use and recommend SafetyWing. We’ve been using their coverage since 2018 and they’ve had our backs when we needed emergency flights and got sick overseas.

SafetyWing is one of the cheapest providers out there and covers everything from medical costs to lost luggage, travel delays, and emergency flights. A huge difference we’ve found between them and other companies is that they let you take out a policy AFTER leaving your home country. We’ve also found it handy that it’s a monthly payment rather than a lump sum, and you can get a refund for unused time.

SafetyWing has helped us out in some scary situations before and their affordable coverage has given us peace of mind. You can read our honest review of SafetyWing for all the pros and cons.

Book your travel insurance with SafetyWing here!

Thanks for reading!

Atento Invap: el anuncio de Javier Milei que relaciona un plan nuclear y la Inteligencia Artificial

El presidente dijo anoche que en los próximos días se anunciará para potenciar el desarrollo tecnológico nacional.

El presidente Javier Milei realizó un balance de su primer año de gestión en cadena nacional. En el discurso no solo habló de políticas realizadas sino también que anunció otras. Entre ellas, el presidente reveló que se realizará un plan nuclear argentino en el marco del desarrollo de otras áreas tecnológicas como la inteligencia artificial.

Luego de enumerar las políticas implementadas que permitieron mejoras significativas en el plano económico, Javier Milei anunció que en los próximos días se dará a conocer un plan que tiene por objetivo el avance en materia tecnológica.

“La cruzada desregulatoria de este gobierno nos ha puesto en el mapa mundial. En materia tecnológica esto augura un futuro de enormes oportunidades, porque el giro a la libertad y el optimismo tecnológico que está dando la Argentina contrasta con muchos países desarrollados, que cada día están más cerca de ser un infierno regulatorio”, sostuvo el presidente de la Nación.

Al respecto se remarcó que “nosotros tenemos energía de sobra, tierras frías e inhóspitas de sobra, y recurso humano de calidad. No por nada somos el país con más cantidad de unicornio per cápita de la región”.

Por tal motivo, consideró que dichos “factores combinados convierten una tormenta perfecta para atraer inversiones de altísimo grado en inteligencia artificial”. Para ello, Milei destacó que es preciso el desarrollo de determinadas tecnologías.

Al poner en valor las mejoras y estabilidad lograda en el plano económico, el mandatario sostuvo que “no es casualidad que las mayores empresas del mundo están evaluando proyectos en Argentina”.

A modo de ejemplo, planteó que “interesante es que el aumento de demanda de energía que implica la inteligencia artificial porque va a generar en el mundo entero el resurgimiento de la energía nuclear después de décadas de declive”.

Cuándo anunciará el Gobierno el nuevo plan nuclear

En ese marco, “nosotros no nos vamos a quedar atrás, vamos a diseñar un plan nuclear Argentino que contemple la construcción de nuevos reactores, así como la investigación en las tecnologías emergentes de reactores pequeños o modulares, manteniendo los máximos estándares de seguridad y eficiencia”.

Si bien Milei dio a conocer la decisión del gobierno de avanzar en un plan de energía nuclear, sostuvo que “este plan será presentado en los próximos días por el Dr. Reidel, y nos pondrá una vez más a la vanguardia en la materia”.

De ese modo, se espera que en el país se avance en materia de energía nuclear, la cual sirve de fuente necesaria para alimentar los centros de datos que requieren gran consumo energético para la ejecución de los modelos de inteligencia artificial.

Tras el anuncio realizado, Milei recordó que “cuando en Argentina imperaron las ideas de la libertad, fuimos punta de lanza de la región en tecnología. En el año 1900, Argentina era el país con la mayor red de ferrocarriles de América Latina y la undécima del mundo. Hoy, paradójicamente, solo reencontrándonos con las verdades de nuestro pasado profundo podemos explotar nuestro potencial y dar un salto hacia el futuro”.

A mediados de este año, por recorte de fondos, se paralizaron las obras del reactor CAREM y el RA-10, dos desarrollos nucleares nacionales que vienen de gestiones anteriores. (LMN)

Cuando pregunté por los cilindros de piedra de sección menguante que bordean un lado de la carretera del puerto, me dijeron que eran para que los operarios de la máquina que quitaba la nieve supieran donde estaba la carretera en las grandes nevadas. Creí que me tomaban el pelo pues me costaba imaginar que la nieve pudiera alcanzar dos o tres metros de espesor. Tardaríamos pocas semanas en percatarnos de lo diferente que era el invierno montañés de los que habíamos vivido en la Roa de Duero mesetaria. Mucho más frío y, sobre todo, abundante nieve que nos acompañaba durante tres o cuatro meses cada invierno. Era frecuente encontrar por la mañana una capa de nieve en la calle de más de cuarenta centímetros que teníamos que apartar con la pala en la puerta de casa para poder salir a la calle, aunque nada que ver con lo que decían de los vecinos de Leitariegos que debían hacer túneles en la nieve para ir de una casa a otra. Las mayores nevadas sucedían cuando empezaba a nevar casi sin querer, con el aire en calma y unos copos que descendían bamboleándose sin prisa pero de manera sostenida y que paulatinamente iban aumentando de tamaño. Cuando esto sucedía, era un espectáculo ver por la noche desde la ventana la danza vacilante de los copos de nieve iluminados por la farola de la esquina del bloque de Pérez Vega. Cuando la nevada se producía el sábado por la noche, al asomarnos a la ventana a primera hora del domingo veíamos todo nevado y sin una sola huella en la nieve. Acostumbrábamos a ir temprano a misa por lo que casi siempre éramos los primeros en dejar la marca de nuestras botas en la nieve, que recuerdo me causaba una sensación como de estrenar algo. Pisaba con extremo cuidado para que las huellas se mantuvieran claras, intentando no desfigurarlas con la nieve que se arrastraba al posar o levantar el pie. Para llegar a la iglesia de San Miguel teníamos que atravesar La Veiga, un extenso campo de labor cruzado en su mitad por una senda de tierra que habíamos recorrido cientos de veces y creíamos poder seguir a ciegas. Pero en los días de nevada todo se desfiguraba, incluso las inmensas y negras escombreras desaparecían en un paisaje completamente blanco e inusitadamente en calma. Las desigualdades del terreno desaparecían bajo la capa ondulada de nieve, de forma que no quedaba ni rastro del camino de La Veiga y comprobábamos como nos salirnos de la archiconocida senda cada poco trecho. Caminábamos como ciegos, a plena luz del día, corrigiendo el rumbo cada poco apuntando hacia donde sabíamos que estaba el final del camino señalado por las primeras casas de San Miguel. El agua que durante el día escurría de la nieve que había en los tejados de pizarra, por la noche se helaba y formaba unos carámbanos de más de un metro y varios kilos de peso. Las mañanas soleadas los carámbanos goteaban dibujando en la nieve del suelo una línea recta formada por tantos hoyitos como carámbanos colgaban del techo. Tan pronto el sol ablandaba la nieve del tejado lo suficiente, resbalaba sobre las losas del tejado y caía al suelo en cascada con un estruendo que asustaba, sobre todo en nuestra calle que era como un desfiladero formado por nuestra casa y las de Esteban y Rouco. La avalancha arrastraba los carámbanos, convertidos en puñales de hielo, y formaba trincheras de nieve al lado de las paredes de las casas que no desaparecían hasta varias semanas después de la última nevada. Para no quedar sepultado o malherido por las avalanchas, había que estar atento al ruido que hacía la nieve cuando empezaba a deslizar en el tejado y buscar refugio en el portal o apartarse antes de que varios quintales de nieve alcanzaran el suelo o un carámbano te trepanase la sesera. No recuerdo que ni a mí ni a nadie de la familia nos pescara alguna de estas avalanchas. Sustos si, unos cuantos cada invierno. Terminadas las nevadas veía en el suelo losas de pizarra que habían acompañado a la nieve en su caída y no podía por menos que imaginar mi cabeza partida en dos mitades, cada una de ellas con media mueca y nariz de un solo agujero, como por efecto de la guillotina manejada por un loco. Esta visión macabra hacía que me cubriera la cabeza con el codo cuando corría a refugiarme de las avalanchas, por si las losas. Entre nevada y nevada me enteré de que los monolitos de piedra del puerto de La Magdalena eran tan altos porque debían asomar por encima de los «traves» que se formaban donde el aire amontonaba la nieve con varios metros de espesor. Tras varios días aislados por carretera de León, era todo un acontecimiento la llegada del autobús de Beltrán gracias a que la expaladora había conseguido despejar los «traves» y dejar el camino expedito. Nevada tras nevada nos acercábamos paulatinamente hacía la primavera, cuando podríamos olvidarnos de los puñales helados y losas asesinas que caían de lo alto y no estar pendientes del ruido en los tejados. Suena a tópico decir que antes las nevadas eran mayores que las de ahora, pero los monolitos de piedra del puerto parecen confirmar que antes nevaba mucho. Lo que yo tengo claro es que nunca he vuelto a ver nevar como hace cincuenta años en el valle de Laciana, ni copos tan majestuosos como los que veía flotar indecisos en un espectacular ballet al trasluz de la farola del otro lado de la calle.

Leitariegos. Abriendo paso a paladas.

(Seguramente, las cosas sucedieron casi tal como las recuerdo. De las sensaciones no tengo duda.)

Pope Francis leads tributes to former Pope Benedict, who died age 95

Benedict died on Saturday morning in the monastery in the Vatican gardens where he had retired.

Pope Francis has lead the tributes to his predecessor Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who has died at the age of 95. 

The Vatican confirmed Benedict's death on Saturday morning, saying he passed away at a monastery on Vatican grounds where he had lived since 2013. 

Giving his homily at the end of year celebration of Vespers and the Te Deum -- Catholic religious ceremonies -- Pope Francis remembered Benedict as a noble and kind man of faith. 

"We are moved as we recall him as such a noble person, so kind. And we feel such gratitude in our hearts: gratitude to God for having given him to the Church and to the world; gratitude to him for all the good he accomplished, and above all, for his witness of faith and prayer, especially in these last years of his recollected life," said Pope Francis. 

"Only God knows the value and the power of his intercession, of the sacrifices he offered for the good of the Church.”

Benedict became the first pope in 600 years to retire from the role and his health had declined in recent years. Over the last few days his health had deteriorated further, but the Vatican had indicated on Friday that his condition was "stable" and that he had participated in the celebration of mass in his room the previous day. 

Funeral to take place next week

A Vatican spokesperson confirmed that the funeral of former Pope Benedict will take place next Thursday 5 January at 09:30 CET in St. Peter's Square, and be presided over by Pope Francis. 

"From the morning on Monday, the body of the Pope Emeritus will be in the Basilica of Saint Peter, where the faithful can go with their prayers for a last meeting with the Pope Emeritus, to greet him and to say goodbye," Matteo Bruni added.

The funeral of the 265th pope, celebrated by his successor, will be an unprecedented event in the two thousand year history of the Catholic Church which tens of thousands of people are likely to attend, including heads of state.

European leaders paid tribute to Pope Emeritus Benedict on Saturday, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Who was Pope Benedict, the first German pope in a thousand years?

Pope Emeritus Benedict's death puts an end to the unusual cohabitation of two men in white: the German Joseph Ratzinger, a brilliant theologian not very comfortable with crowds, and the Argentinian Jorge Bergoglio, a Jesuit endowed with an incisive word who wanted put the poor and migrants back at the center of the Church's mission.

Benedict was the first German pope elected to head the Catholic church in thousand years when he succeeded John Paul II in April 2005.

Then known as German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he became the 265th leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Benedict XVI.

His appointment came after he had headed the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith from 1982 to 2005.

At the time, Benedict was labelled by one cardinal as a “safe pair of hands” but his eight-year papacy was marked by missteps and scandals.

Benedict was also the first pope to retire in 600 years.

Joseph Ratzinger was born to a Catholic family on 16 April 1927 in Marktl am Inn, a small village in southeast Germany. He spent much of his adolescence here, near the Austrian border.

He often described himself as a “Mozartian” and enjoyed playing the piano throughout his life.

After his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger enrolled in the Hitler Youth.

Membership in the Nazi organisation was legally required at the time, and the teenage boy remained in the Hitler Youth to avoid tuition fees, later enrolling in the auxiliary anti-aircraft service at the end of World War II. 

Ratzinger was eventually exonerated and even embraced by some Jews -- he called the Holocaust a "dark time" in his life.

After studying philosophy and theology at the University of Munich, he was ordained a priest in 1951, alongside his brother Georg.

Abuse scandals

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger then served as archbishop of Munich from 1977 to 1982.

This period of his life later came under particular scrutiny amid widespread allegations of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church.

Although his legacy was damaged by the scandal, Benedict was responsible for turning around the Vatican’s approach to abuse by the clergy.

He was the first pope to meet with victims of abuse and directed the church to pursue a path of humility by seeking forgiveness. In 2001, he ordered for all cases to be sent to his office for processing, once he saw that accused bishops were being moved from parish to parish and not being punished.

During the final two years of his pontificate, Benedict defrocked nearly 400 priests for abuse.

But in 2018, a church-commissioned report concluded that at least 3,677 people were abused by the clergy in Germany between 1946 and 2014.

Another long-awaited report then accused Benedict of mishandling four sexual abuse allegations in the Munich archdiocese. He was criticised for failing to remove priests, even after they had been criminally convicted.

In February, Benedict asked for forgiveness for any “grievous faults”,  but did not admit to any personal wrongdoing.

Earlier in his papacy, Benedict XVI had faced other criticisms and controversies.

In 2006, just one year after being elected, he caused ire when he suggested that Islam brought only evil to the world. Following days of protests, Benedict said he was "deeply sorry" and that his speech was misunderstood.

Less than three years later, he also angered Jews by rehabilitating four ultra-traditionalist bishops, including a Holocaust denier.

In 2012, the “Vatileaks” scandal – which unearthed financial corruption and blackmail – also shook Benedict’s papacy.

In a shock announcement in February 2013, the then-86-year-old said he lacked the "strength of mind and body" to run the Church and bowed out.

In his later years, Benedict grew increasingly frail as he dedicated his post-papacy life to prayer and meditation.

Francis, who visited the former pontiff shortly after his general audience on Wednesday (December 28), has often praised Benedict, saying it was like having a grandfather in the home.

One of the last known photographs of Benedict was taken on 1 December, when he met the winners of a prize for theologians named after him.

EASTER SUNDAY

Mary Magdalene, seeing that the stone of the tomb had been rolled away, ran to tell Peter and John. After receiving the shocking news, the two disciples also went out and — as the Gospel says — “the two were running together” (Jn 20:4). The main figures of the Easter narratives all ran! On the one hand, “running” could express the concern that the Lord’s body had been taken away; but, on the other hand, the haste of Mary Magdalene, Peter and John expresses the desire, the yearning of the heart, the inner attitude of those who set out to search for Jesus. He, in fact, has risen from the dead and therefore is no longer in the tomb. We must look for him elsewhere.

This is the message of Easter: we must look for him elsewhere. Christ is risen, he is alive! He is no longer a prisoner of death, he is no longer wrapped in the shroud, and therefore we cannot confine him to a fairy tale, we cannot make him a hero of the ancient world, or think of him as a statue in a museum! On the contrary, we must look for him and this is why we cannot remain stationary.  We must take action, set out to look for him: look for him in life, look for him in the faces of our brothers and sisters, look for him in everyday business, look for him everywhere except in the tomb.

We must look for him without ceasing. Because if he has risen from the dead, then he is present everywhere, he dwells among us, he hides himself and reveals himself even today in the sisters and brothers we meet along the way, in the most ordinary and unpredictable situations of our lives. He is alive and is with us always, shedding the tears of those who suffer and adding to the beauty of life through the small acts of love carried out by each of us.

For this reason, our Easter faith, which opens us to the encounter with the risen Lord and prepares us to welcome him into our lives, is anything but a complacent settling into some sort of “religious reassurance.” On the contrary, Easter spurs us to action, to run like Mary Magdalene and the disciples; it invites us to have eyes that can “see beyond,” to perceive Jesus, the one who lives, as the God who reveals himself and makes himself present even today, who speaks to us, goes before us, surprises us. Like Mary Magdalene, every day we can experience losing the Lord, but every day we can also run to look for him again, with the certainty that he will allow himself to be found and will fill us with the light of his resurrection.

Brothers and sisters, this is the greatest hope of our life: we can live this poor, fragile and wounded existence clinging to Christ, because he has conquered death, he conquers our darkness and he will conquer the shadows of the world, to make us live with him in joy, forever. This is the goal towards which we press on, as the Apostle Paul says, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead (cf. Phil 3:12-14). Like Mary Magdalene, Peter and John, we hasten to meet Christ.

The Jubilee invites us to renew the gift of hope within us, to surrender our sufferings and our concerns to hope, to share it with those whom we meet along our journey and to entrust to hope the future of our lives and the destiny of the human family. And so we cannot settle for the fleeting things of this world or give in to sadness; we must run, filled with joy. Let us run towards Jesus, let us rediscover the inestimable grace of being his friends. Let us allow his Word of life and truth to shine in our life. As the great theologian Henri de Lubac said, “It should be enough to understand this: Christianity is Christ. No, truly, there is nothing else but this. In Christ we have everything” (Les responsabilités doctrinales des catholiques dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, Paris 2010, 276).

And this “everything” that is the risen Christ opens our life to hope. He is alive, he still wants to renew our life today. To him, conqueror of sin and death, we want to say:

“Lord, on this feast day we ask you for this gift: that we too may be made new, so as to experience this eternal newness. Cleanse us, O God, from the sad dust of habit, tiredness and indifference; give us the joy of waking every morning with wonder, with eyes ready to see the new colours of this morning, unique and unlike any other. […] Everything is new, Lord, and nothing is the same, nothing is old” (A. Zarri, Quasi una preghiera).

Sisters, brothers, in the wonder of the Easter faith, carrying in our hearts every expectation of peace and liberation, we can say: with You, O Lord, everything is new. With you, everything begins again.

THE MIRACLE OF THE SNOW AT ROME'S SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE

Thu 21 Sep 2023

The Miracle of the Snow at Rome's Santa Maria Maggiore

Every year on August 5th, right at the height of the fierce Italian summer, Romans descend on the ancient basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore to celebrate one of the city’s strangest miracles.

The subject of the festivities is La Madonna Della Neve, or the Madonna of the Snows, and features the recreation of a miraculous summer snowfall that, according to venerable Christian legend, took place at the site of the future church on this day in the year 358 AD.

The annual modern spectacle, which is organised by the Italian Ministry of Culture in conjunction with the Vatican authorities and has been ongoing since 1983, includes the artificial snowfall - snowflakes are represented by foaming suds blown through the stifling summer air - a spectacular light show where a kaleidoscope of coloured lights flicker and illuminate the beautiful church facade, and a musical performance and parade by the Carabinieri police band. Reminding us that this is a religious celebration, two masses of Thanksgiving to the Madonna take place at 10 am and 5 pm. But what is the legend of the miraculous Snow, and why is the story so important for the church of Santa Maria Maggiore?

Santa Maria Maggiore at night

The story takes us all the way back in time to the fourth century. The practising of Christianity had only been legalised by the Emperor Constantine a few short decades earlier, and the Faith still had some way to go before it would finally become the dominant religion of the Empire. Nonetheless, Christianity was attracting plenty of converts in Rome from all classes of society, and amongst the zealous new converts was a wealthy nobleman by the name of Giovanni and his wife.

The childless couple had plenty of cash that they wished to use to aid the Christian community, and so they prayed to the Virgin Mary for advice on how to best use their capital. The Madonna soon obliged, appearing in a dream to the couple in which she instructed them to finance a new church at the side of the miraculous summer snow that would fall that very night on Rome‘s Esquiline Hill.

Setting out in search of the promised site, Giovanni soon ran into pope Liberius, who it turned out had experienced the same vision and was himself searching for the location of the promised snow.

Jacopo Zucchi's Miracle of the Snow, Vatican Pinacoteca

Having found the thick white carpet of snow on the Esquiline slopes, the pontiff proceeded to trace the outline of the church-to-be in the snow. Masons and artisans were soon called to the site, and construction on the basilica began with Giovanni and his wife’s largesse funding the works. A beautiful 16th-century painting now in the Pinacoteca of the Vatican Museums by the artist Jacopo Zucchi shows an eager crowd gathered around the summer snow as the Pope marks out the perimeter of the  basilica walls with a hoe, as a motley cast of bishops, prelates and altar boys watch on. Giovanni and his wife kneel in wonder at the miraculous event.

The Virgin Mary looks down over Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore from the Column of Peace

No trace of the original basilica traced by Liberius on that distant snowy morning remains - the church now standing on the site is still pretty ancient however, dating from the 430s. Within, an original cycle of 5th-century mosaics high on the nave walls beneath the windows are amongst the oldest and most beautiful Christian artworks in Italy. Vibrant scenes from the Old Testament lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses are represented in the realistic style of classical art, contrasting with the fabulous, more abstract 13th-century Byzantine mosaics in the apse. In the crypt beneath the high altar meanwhile are supposed remains of Christ’s manger, housed in an elaborate crystal reliquary. Santa Maria Maggiore is a must-visit on any trip to Rome!

The festival of the miraculous snowfall at Santa Maria Maggiore will take place between 9 PM and midnight in the piazza in front of the basilica on Saturday 5th August 2023.

Vézelay, Saint Maximin and the relics of Mary Magdalene

Vézelay, Saint Maximin and the relics of Mary Magdalene
 

Vezelay and Saint Maximin, an incredible “war” for the relics of Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene did not immediately have a great aura in the history of the Church. It was not until the 7th and 8th centuries that she began to be favored in monastic circles, where the accent was placed on repentance and forgiveness by welcoming sinners there. The life of the saint – a sinner who became an ascetic – then merges with the traditions concerning the life of Mary the Egyptian. She was a prostitute of the six century who would have done penance in the desert, on the other side of the Mediterranean.
In the 11th century, the monasteries, under the influence of the order of Cluny, took on social and economic importance. There is also a tremendous cult around all kinds of relics brought back from the Holy Land or purchased in Constantinople. Having relics of great saints is important at this time. It is because there are relics that pilgrimages are organized and pilgrimages pay off. In Vézelay at the beginning of the 11th century the monastery was in full decline. Wishing to promote his abbey, Abbot Geoffroy (1037-1052), friend of the pope, ambitious and close to princes “discovered” (“invented” is the term of use) and exhibited the relics of Mary Magdalene. Pilgrims flock.

Relic of Mary Magdalene, Vezelay basilica

In 1050 Mary Magdalene officially became the patron saint of Vezelay abbey.

Over the 11th and 12th centuries, the abbey, many times enlarged and rebuilt, was transformed into a magnificent sanctuary, with splendid Romanesque portals. It was an important stopover on the way to Compostela. The city took advantage of the influx of pilgrims. In the 12th century, its population amounted to 10,000 inhabitants, a considerable number for the time. Vézelay then became a center of great importance for the West.
Under the protection of the powerful dukes of Burgundy, in 1146, Saint Benedict preached the second crusade there. King Louis VII, Queen Eleanor and a crowd of nobles, prelates and people gathered on the hill.
In 1190, Richard Coeur-de-Lion and Philippe-Auguste met there at the start of the third crusade.
In 1217, François d’Assise chose the hill of Vézelay to found the first Franciscan establishment on French soil.

How the relics of Mary Magdalene arrived in Vézelay ?

Natural curiosity, but unsatisfactory answers.
We accepted the idea that it was Gérard de Roussillon who would have organized the transfer of the relics during the foundation of the abbey, relics that we would have gone to look for in Saint-Maximin where we knew that the saint had her burial. .
The bishop of Autun launched a prohibition against the pilgrimage. We then asked for the arbitration of the Pope. Pascal II, who by a bull given in 1103, broke the prohibition of the bishop and invited all the French to make the pilgrimage of Vézelay. The pilgrimage then took off, these were the great hours of Vézelay.
However, doubt persisted, not about the burial of Mary Magdalene in Provence, but about the transfer of her relics to Vézelay and their authenticity. We didn’t have much to show as relics in Vézelay, where we talked about them a lot without ever really presenting them in public.

“Presentable” and “indisputable” relics were needed. It was then that in 1265, relics were exhumed in Vézelay, kept in a box which would have been deposited in the crypt in 920 more than three centuries earlier. A certificate of authenticity in the box proves this!. “…under the high altar, a metal chest, long square, which contained some relics wrapped in two veils of silk, with a certain quantity woman’s hair”. There was also a letter from a King Charles certifying that “in this coffer is contained the body of the blessed Mary Magdalene”. (Act drawn up by Gui de Mello, bishop of Auxerre and Pierre, bishop of Panéade.)
Saint Louis officially recognized the relics and went to Vézelay for their elevation in 1267.

Nevertheless, the doubt still persisted.
Twelve years later, in 1279, Charles II, Prince of Salerno, nephew of Saint Louis, who had come to Saint-Maximin on pilgrimage and had carried out a solid investigation, was convinced that the tomb of Mary Magdalene was in the crypt. where Saint Maximin had once buried her.
He organized excavations which led to the discovery of several sarcophagi. In the so-called “Sidoine’s sarcophagus” was discovered the body of Mary Magdalene with an inscription on a wooden tablet on which appeared simply: “Here lies the body of Saint Mary Magdalene.” 

And finally, for the Abbey of Vézelay, the miracle will not take place.

Indeed, Pope Boniface VIII definitively put an end to this “battle” between the 2 cities when he recognized the authenticity of the relics discovered by Charles II at Saint Maximin.
Vézelay will have to submit to the spiritual authority of the Pope. At the end of the 13th century, it is the beginning of the decline of the pilgrimage of Vézelay.The reliquary in the crypt of Vezelay contains a piece of her rib bone, given by the Dominican monks of St Maximin.
