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.

    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.

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?

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.

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?
