Australia. Local Phone: 03-9783-3484. E-mail: [email protected] Mid-July 2015 Free E-Mail Edition Circulation: Australia and Overseas DISCLAIMER: Views expressed in the articles of this Ordinariate Publication “Australia Wide” are not necessarily those of the editor or publisher. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A WORD FROM OUR ORDINARY: Monsignor Harry Entwistle: P.A. Almost everyone who is a member of the Australian Ordinariate realises that one of the challenges we face is that of explaining who and what we are to others, and equally importantly, what we are not. During the Clergy Residential Conference in 2014, it was agreed that around the feast of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, each Or- dinariate community would invite friends, fellow Catholics, sup- porters and other interested people to an event during which they could meet us, but also experience a little of our worship and life. WHAT SORT OF EVENT? This will very much depend on the community, the facilities available, and above all, the amount of effort the members of the community are prepared to put into the occasion. As Ordinary, I hope to make a short video presentation that may be used as part of the celebrations. The occasion could include short presentations by one or two of the laity about their journey into the Ordinariate and their experience of being members of it. Personal stories are always interesting, especially the stories of the laity. If refreshments are offered, then it is important that the Ordinariate community members mix with visitors and avoid clump- ing together like a bunch of grapes. Perhaps Evensong could be said or sung, but use a distinctive form of Anglican liturgical tradition and not a DIY creation. Careful thought would need to be given about whether a Mass is appropriate especially given the discipline of receiving communion. If Mass is considered appropriate, it needs to be the Ordinariate Use that is not overlong. INFORMATION SHARING Please ensure that leaflets, pamphlets and the bookmark prepared by Fr Hill that summarises the charism of the Ordinariate are available. You can obtain them from the Ordinariate Office and hand them out, don’t just leave them in a pile and hope people will take them. Information sharing produces results. Details of local mass times, venue and contact details of the priest or office need to be readily accessible for visitors who attend. SUPPORTERS NETWORK The Ordinariate has a Supporters Network that is a mailing list of people who are not Ordinariate members but may or may not be attenders at worship, but nevertheless are supporters of this bold ecumenical initiative. Supporters receive mail outs and news from the Ordinariate Office, but the Office can supply a list of local Supporters to each local community. Each community could use this list to invite them to special services, social events and fund raising initiatives that are held locally.

THE FUTURE Our Anglican Patrimony has always encouraged us to reach beyond ourselves and to be obedient to the Gospel imperative that we must care for others as well as ourselves. Catholic Mission and Caritas are two well-known Catholic Agencies that have a universal mission, but there are other more local projects that Ordinariate communities could support and even be involved with. Reaching out to the needs of others is not an option for Chris- tians. The option exists in choosing whom to support. The gospel imperative to meet each other's needs flows from the imperative to proclaim the Faith and be Christ’s agents for those who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God. People come to Faith through many doors, so we must provide many of those open doors in our local Ordinariate communities. Taizé style worship or Holy Hour with an An- glican flavour could be advertised and offered periodically. Advertised Study Groups, Qui- et Days and Enquirers Courses could be offered to the wider Catholic and non- Catholic Community. Very soon the new Divine Worship Missal will be authorised and this will add a new liturgical stream in Catholic worship. This will be another historical moment in Church History that will need to be celebrated. The challenges the Church is facing in our Western world is a trumpet call to us to wake up from sleep celebrate who we are, and enable our English Spiritual and Theological Tradition to lead others to know and love God and so grow his kingdom.

  • Australians Begin ‘Ad Limina’ Visits Acknowledging
    Australians begin ‘ad limina’ visits acknowledging impact of crisis VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The president of the Australian bishops’ conference told his fellow bishops that it is “a time of humiliation” for Catholic Church leaders, but he is convinced that God is still at work. As church leaders continue to face the reality of the clerical sexual abuse crisis and attempts to cover it up, “we as bishops have to discover anew how small we are and yet how grand is the design into which we have been drawn by the call of God and his commissioning beyond our betrayals,” said Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, conference president. After a weeklong retreat near Rome, the bishops of Australia began their “ad limina” visits to the Vatican with Mass June 24 at the tomb of St. Peter and a long meeting with Pope Francis. The 38-member group included diocesan bishops, auxiliary bishops, the head of the ordinariate for former Anglicans and a diocesan administrator. Archbishop Coleridge was the principal celebrant and homilist for the Mass in the grotto of St. Peter’s Basilica marking the formal beginning of the visit. The “ad limina” visit is a combination pilgrimage — with Masses at the basilicas of St. Peter, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls — and series of meetings with Pope Francis and with the leaders of many Vatican offices to share experiences, concerns and ideas. The visits traditionally were required of bishops every five years, but with the increased number of dioceses and bishops around the world that is no longer possible.

  • On Reflection
    A Word From Our State Chaplain Dear CWL Friends, “How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of God! May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both believers and those far away, as a sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst!” 1 So wrote Pope Francis in April when he formally announced the next Holy Year, the “Year of Mercy” which begins on 8 December 2015. We are invited to rediscover the mercy which is at the heart of our Christian faith, the divine mercy of God. Mercy is God’s constant response to the tragedy of sin: it is God’s medicine for what ails us. It is a constant call to conversion, to turn towards life and away from death. But during the Year of Mercy we are not only called to be mindful of God’s mercy towards ourselves: we are to learn what mercy is by being merciful like the Father. So that “mercy” doesn’t just become an empty platitude, we need to give it shape in our lives. How does doing mercy look in practice? I think we should look at what the Church calls the “Spiritual Works of Mercy”, by which we help people in their spiritual and emotional needs and the “Corporal Works of Mercy”, by which we help people in their physical and material needs. Are not these exactly the sorts of things that the people of the Catholic Women’s League should be doing?: The Corporal Works of Mercy feed the hungry give drink to the thirsty clothe the naked shelter the homeless visit the sick visit the imprisoned bury the dead The Spiritual Works of Mercy counsel the doubtful instruct the ignorant admonish sinners comfort the afflicted forgive offenses bear wrongs patiently pray for the living and the dead The Year of Mercy is a wonderful opportunity to receive mercy from the Father, and to be merciful ourselves.

FROM OUR ORDINARY: Monsignor Harry Entwistle. A CAUTIONARY TALE There was once a mountain that belonged to the Church. It was called Mount Docprac because it reminded members of the Catholic Church that the unity between what the Church believed (doctrine) and how that doctrine was lived (practiced) should be as strong as the mountain itself. Over the centuries, Catholics climbed the mountain, doing their best to live faithfully to the teachings of Jesus who gave the mountain to the Church. A few struggled hard and despite many setbacks, they persevered and reached the summit. Others did their best and made some progress and when they failed they started again. The guardians of the mountain, the Pope and the bishops had to be expert climbers because they had to show the way to each new generation of Catholics and find different paths to enable them to succeed. Above all, they had to encourage perseverance, especially in difficult weather conditions. Climbing this mountain was never easy, and when some Catholics lost their tenacity they became frustrated with it. They were influenced by the views of Protestant Christians who no longer had their own mountain because they preferred to live what they thought was an easier life on the flat earth with those who chose for themselves what to believe and how to behave.

  • Why the Delays in Appointing Australia's Bishops?
    Why the delays in appointing Australia’s Bishops? Bishops for the Australian mission From 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay, until 31 March 2016, seventeen popes have entrusted the pastoral care of Australia’s Catholics to 214 bishops. Until 1976 the popes had also designated Australia a ‘mission’ territory and placed it under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide which largely determined the selection of its bishops. The first five bishops never set foot on Australian soil. All English, they shepherded from afar, three from London, and two from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa where, from 1820 to 1832, they tendered their flock in distant New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land via priest delegates. The selection and appointment in 1832 of Australia’s first resident bishop, English Benedictine John Bede Polding, as Vicar Apostolic of New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land, was the result of long and delicate political and ecclesiastical negotiations between Propaganda, the British Home Secretary, the Vicars Apostolic of the London District and Cape of Good Hope, the English Benedictines, and the senior Catholic clerics in NSW. The process was repeated until English candidates were no longer available and the majority Irish Catholic laity in Australia had made it clear that they wanted Irish bishops. The first Irish bishop, Francis Murphy, was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI in 1842, and by 1900, another 30 Irish bishops had been appointed. Propaganda’s selection process was heavily influenced by Irish bishops in Ireland and Australia and the predominantly Irish senior priests in the Australian dioceses.

  • Finding Compassion Through the Lens of Mercy Archbishop Mark
    Finding compassion through the lens of Mercy Archbishop Mark Coleridge, speaking at Australia’s largest Catholic eConference this week, said the time of Christendom is over, and the Catholic Church must recognise its real credential is in Mercy. Calling for Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy to be enacted as a verb, Archbishop Coleridge said the Pope’s vision gives birth to action within the Church and across the global community. “When I speak about the covenant of God, it is a community of Mercy in a merciless world. Find the hungry one, the thirsty one, the naked one, the sick one, the one who is infinitely strange and the one who is seemingly imprisoned by the power of death. Look at the Crucified and understand what you see,” Archbishop Coleridge said. Captivating the eConference audience for over 4 hours, Archbishop Coleridge, along with renowned Catholic scholar, Sr Veronica Lawson and, President of the Refugee Council of Australia, Mr Phil Glendenning spoke compellingly about the plight of the 65 million people displaced around the world. “One of our blessings in this country is that our recent generations don’t understand war, what it’s like, what it smells like and what it does to your soul. People coming from war-torn countries tend to be invisible to the rest of the world. “Compassion for people is our greatest civilising strength, and the vision we see from Pope Francis is quite rare in this world. His leadership requires a response,” Mr Glendenning said. CEO of BBI – The Australian Institute of Theological Education, Dr Gerard Goldman said broadcasting a free annual eConference is a means to explore the rich dialogue of humanity amongst scholars, clergy and believers of all faiths on a global stage.

  • “Anglican Use of the Roman Rite”? the Unity of the Liturgy in the Diversity of Its Rites and Forms Hans-Jürgen Feulner
    Antiphon 17.1 (2013): 31-72 “Anglican Use of the Roman Rite”? The Unity of the Liturgy in the Diversity of Its Rites and Forms Hans-Jürgen Feulner The internationally known German liturgist Balthasar Fischer († 2001) was rather far-sighted and somewhat euphoric, when, already in 1981, in connection with article 4 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, he mentioned the ecumenical dimension of the liturgy: Nowhere does reunification any longer mean—and also not in the West—the adoption of the Roman liturgy and of specifically Catholic piety. Today one can very well imagine how the magnificent liturgy celebrated by our Anglican brothers, with some minute changes, could become a ritus legitime agnitus [lawfully acknowledged rite]; an English liturgical family among the liturgical families of the Catholic Church. With all the spiritual riches that have been amassed here in 400 years, she would join her wagon to the train of Catholic liturgies.1 On June 15, 2012, a decree of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) created the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross2—the third Personal Ordinariate to date. This 1 Balthasar Fischer, “Liturgie oder Liturgien?”, in Trierer Theologische Zeitschrift 90 (1981) 265–275, here 273–274 (translation from German; emphasis added and my explanation of the Latin expression).
