Fr Forrest wrote books of humourous verses exposing the idiosyncrasies of both priests and congregations. In one verse he observed that the parishioners knew everything about their vicar as well as every detail of his private life. “But when he had a meeting, Or a service in the Church, Unless it is a Sunday time, They leave it in the lurch. He posts it on a notice board, Just where it may be seen, And prints it very plainly In the parish magazine. Then, standing in the pulpit, He will very nearly shout it; Yet everybody makes excuse: ‘We never knew about it.’” S.J. FORREST, ‘WHAT’S THE USE’, P.42 As the French say, ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same.’ One of the greatest concerns of both priests and laity in the Ordinariate is, ‘How is it that after 3 years, most Catholics don’t know anything about the Ordinariate?’ I am tempted to ask another question in return, ‘How come that after some 500 years, most Catho- lics know very little about the Eastern Catholic Churches?’ Yet replying to one question by asking another, does not address the issue. So the question is, ‘How do we spread the news of the existence, nature and purpose of the Ordinariate articulated in Pope Benedict’s Apostolic Constitution, Anglicanorum Coetibus?’ The Ordinariate is a living example of the cost of true Church Unity with the Catholic Church and all that that in- volves, while maintaining our distinct English Christian Spirituality. The Anglican Church seems to be content to consider Christian unity to be no deeper than being friends, so they regard the Ordinariate as a mirage that will quickly dissipate. They will not promote our existence. [Continued next page] 2 3 A WORD FROM THE ORDINARY: Continued Catholic bishops have been supportive and the Catholic Press have reported or- dinations and have printed articles about the Ordinariate. Yet Fr Forrest’s poem still holds true. We are told that the under 40’s do not read printed newspapers and we know that some elderly people do not browse the web, surf the net, have a face-book page or twitter. As an Ordinariate we must make use of all these technologies because we need to reach as many sections of the community as possible. We are considering running advertisements on Google, but with all advertisements, the careful use of words is essential. Apart from using technology, the reality is that communication tools and people outside the Ordinariate can only achieve a limited amount. Not every Catholic diocese has an Ordinariate group in it and even in those that do, there doesn’t seem to be much knowledge of us. So what can we do about it? A REMEDY St Paul asked a similar question about spreading the news of the Gospel (Rom 10 v14). Others will only know of the Ordinariate if the members of it tell them. We cannot advertise in the Anglican media, and the Catholic bishops face similar problems publicising their own activities. It is down to us. Have your own stock of leaflets about the Ordinariate and hand them to others if they show interest. Produce a parish or group, prayer card, or bookmark with Mass times and contact details and give them away anywhere you can – even include them in the local paper delivery. Be visible in local Catholic events, wear the Ordinariate lapel badge and have flyers or pamphlets with you. There are more ways than this, so become lateral thinkers. But a big project this year is: “Called to Unity” CALLED TO UNITY Recently the Church of England consecrated two bishops, one of whom does not recognise the ministry of the other. How can two bishops minister in the same church but one not receive communion from the other? The C of E thinks it has provided a practical solution to this problem, but their solution disregards theological truth. During last year’s Clergy Residential, it was agreed that around the feast of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, preferably the weekend prior, every Ordinariate Community would host an event to which all those interested in learning about how the Ordinariate is realising the prayer of Jesus that all his disciples might be one. Chris- tian unity is deeper than friendship, as it involves sharing the same faith, but expressing that faith in the distinc- tive way of our previous tradition. This event could be a Tea Party, a Meeting, a Mass, Evensong or a Prayer time together. The purpose is to share what God has done to enable his disciples to be united. We can share with others what this means for us, and show them what ‘unity’ with ‘distinctiveness’ looks like. This must be a community effort, so start planning now! Details of your event should be sent to Fr Kenneth Clark by Pentecost so that we can approach the Catholic media to give it some National coverage. [Rev Msgr Harry Entwistle] 3 4 “NEWS FROM HERE AND THERE” Presented by Joanna Hill ROCKHAMPTON PARISH The Church of St Teresa’s in Rockhampton where our Ordinariate parish worships was damaged during the recent cyclone which ravaged that city. The parish has taken up tem- porary ‘residence’ in St Vincent’s Church, 4 Herbert Street, Wandal 4700. It is not known when St Theresa’s repairs will be completed, but the Ordinariate is grateful to the Bishop and Dean for providing alternative accommodation. ORDINARY’S DIARY March 12th Finance Council Meeting March 26th Ordination to the Diaconate of Ian Wilson in Adelaide Holy Week in Perth. ON THE ROAD TO ORDINATION On the 6th March I underwent the Rite of Admission to Candidacy for Holy Orders at St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral Adelaide at 12:10pm Mass. This was another solemn part of the journey to becoming a Catholic Deacon and a Catholic Priest. I will undertake an ordination retreat with the local Passionists between 17th and 21st March. I look forward to meeting and pray- ing Mass and the Office with Fr John Cur- tis: CP and his community. These ordinations by the way, in no way intend to diminish or belittle the existing valuable ministries I had undertaken in the Anglican Church. These forthcoming ordi- nations will canonically validate these two clerical functions as a distinct and unam- biguous Catholic Deacon and Catholic Priest within the universal Latin Catholic Church: this positively affirms my Catho- lic ministry. No Catholic can correctly dis- pute this. That is a very positive, loving and affirming position, which is constantly being emphasised to me in many ways. It is a welcome development from the Second Vatican Council - as are the Ordinariate. "Attached photo is immediately after the Rite of Admission of my self to Candidacy for Holy Orders at St Francis Xavier Cathedral on last Friday, March 6th. Nan and I are centre. I was smiling, but perhaps not quite at that instant. Doesn’t it happen! Probably also somewhat nervous, as it was a bit of an awe inspiring but strongly affirming ceremony, which now sets me firmly on the final course to ordination. Nan and I felt warmly supported.” [By Ian Wilson] 4 5 LETTER TO THE EDITOR “LABOURS FOR THE HARVEST” “These days the amalgamation of parishes is seen as the solution to a growing shortage of priests and a demographic shift towards towns and cities away from shrinking rural communities.” The above quote from The Tablet Blog site by Chris McDonnell, 25th February 2015, reminds me of my Anglican days when living in rural Australia at the time when many States such as Victoria were suffering from harrowing droughts and bush fires during the early 1980’s. The Anglican Church set up a “Rural Ministry Task Force” in Victoria, and later the Anglican General Synod set up a similar National Council. These councils looked at all the ways and means of maintaining active ministry in the many small rural towns of Australia.

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.

  • “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).

That's easy to do on Palm Sunday as He rides into town and adoring crowds praise Him: Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! It's wonderful to be there, to enjoy the praise and the uplifting worship! Here is our Beloved, the Church's Bridegroom, and we delight in Him! If we close our eyes we're carried on the chorus, "HOSANNA!", as though the joy would never end. It's easy to pledge our faithfulness to Him. Yet, the joyous crescendos die away, the sky darkens, the air grows chill, and suddenly a new cry rings out, harsh and dissonant: "Away with Him! Crucify Him!" Our eyes snap open and we stare horrified. Where is the Bridegroom? We behold Him now as Isaiah did millennia ago "He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

Neville Rorhlach from the Ordinariate parish of St Thomas à Becket in Brisbane will be ordained by Bishop Brian Finnigan to be an icon of Christ the Servant. The three orders of clerical ministry in the Church are those of bishops, priests and deacons. All bishops and priests are deacons and that is why, especially at ordinations, bishops wear the dal- matic of the deacon as well as the chasuble of the priest. Most deacons go on to be ordained as priests, but there are an increasing number of men who are called to minister permanently as deacons. As such they are ordained to be servants, for that is what the name deacon means, of God’s people in communion with their bishop (or Ordinary) and his priests. All ordained ministers are called to serve through Word, and Sacraments and acts of Charity, but they exercise this ser- vice in different ways. As a minister of the Word, a deacon reads the Gospel, preaches and teaches the faith.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus A DISSERTATION SubmiFed to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctorate in Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By James Daniel Bradley Washington, D.C. 2017 The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus James Daniel Bradley, J.C.D. Director: Kurt Martens, J.C.D. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus is a response to petitions from groups of Anglicans to be received into communion with the Holy See in a corporate manner. This dissertation examines the origin of such petitions, the development of the principles guiding the response, and an analysis of the legislation. Chapter One traces the origins of corporate reunion from Newman to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in particular the Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom and the Malines Conversations. Chapter Two discusses the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council with respect to ecumenism and Anglicanism. It examines the establishment of relations between Anglicans and the Holy See, the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), and proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans in the Diocese of Amritsar, the United States, the Diocese of Matabeleland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter Three considers the overtures made by groups of Anglicans from 2005 to 2009. This includes the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Church of England bishops, and the Traditional Anglican Communion.

  • Pope Appoints New Head of Personal Ordinariate in Australia
    AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE Pope appoints new head of Personal Ordinariate in Australia Media Release March 26, 2019 Pope Francis has this evening appointed Canadian priest Fr Carl Reid the second Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross – a role he will take up in August. Pope Francis has also accepted the resignation of Msgr Harry Entwistle, who has served as leader of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross since it was established in 2012. The Personal Ordinariates, of which Our Lady of the Southern Cross was the third in the world, were established to provide a way for groups of Anglicans to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church – as Catholics – while retaining distinctive elements of their theological, spiritual and liturgical patrimony. Fr Reid grew up in the Anglican Church of Canada before going on to serve as a deacon, minister and suffragan bishop in the Anglican Catholic Church in Canada. He was later received into full communion with the Catholic Church and was ordained a Catholic priest in January 2013. He is currently dean of all Canadian parishes of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter, which also covers the United States. Australian Catholic Bishops Conference president Archbishop Mark Coleridge said Fr Reid’s experience of leadership in the Anglican Catholic Church in Canada and the Ordinariate in North America will be a great asset to the Ordinariate in Australia as it continues to grow. “The Personal Ordinariate is a blessing to the whole Church in Australia and we look forward to welcoming Fr Carl later this year, including as a member of the Bishops Conference,” Archbishop Coleridge said.

    Newsletter The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross Vol 1 No 3 9 April 2020 Holy Week The Ordinary’s Message It is Tuesday in Holy Week as I begin to compose my thoughts on this most holy time of year. I always find this week to be such a roller coaster of emotions, as one necessarily must compose homilies days ahead, which means therefore looking through the Thursday Inside This Issue betrayal and agony in the Garden, through the scourging to the Page 2 Crucifixion, through the veil of despair that fell upon Jesus’ closest A Good Friday Homily from the followers – to Easter and its unique and unprecedented joys. Ordinary Emeritus Page 3 Early this morning, I glanced at some on-line news, and once again 10 Spiritual Counsels in a Time began to wonder at the draconian restrictions under which we are of Coronavirus living. Yesterday, having been a lovely and warm day in southern Page 5 Queensland, thousands of people “hit the beach” on the Gold Coast. Saint Who? On the one hand I immediately began to ask, “What were they Page 6 thinking?” After all, the beach may not be a cruise ship, those St John Paul II on Christ’s floating pitre dishes of contagions, but a hot, sunny beach where Suffering social distancing has been capriciously put aside carries an even greater capacity for subsequent spread of the virus as anonymous beach-goers return to their homes and communities, blissfully unaware that they may have become carriers. But then, I thought more about the current restrictions, and how very inconsistent they are: grocery shopping, take-away foods – permitted, even though there is clearly much mutual handling of goods going on; whereas, carefully observed social distancing church services – forbidden.
