September 15Th 24Th Sunday Ordinary Yr C 2013.Pub 24th Sunday Ordinary 15th September 2013 Year C Crazy in Love St Ignatius Church Would a responsible shepherd really leave ninety-nine Kensington Terrace, Toowong sheep defenceless in the wilderness while he goes in search of one that is lost? Would he not run the risk of losing many more? The gesture of carrying the sheep home on his shoulders, as if in triumph, and summoning his friends and neighbours for a joyful celebration seems Holy Spirit Church Harriett Street, Auchenflower extravagant, “over the top.” The friends and neighbours might in fact join in. But they might also mutter a bit among themselves: “He must be crazy about that sheep!” And this may in fact be the point the parable makes at the end. “Heaven,” that is, God and the entire heavenly court, rejoices over one sinner who repents more that over ninety-nine who have no need of repentance. Why? Because God is crazy with love over each individual human being and rejoices exuberantly over finding one that had been lost in the death that is sin. Jesus’ celebration of joyful meals with repentant sinners simply enacts on earth that exuberant heavenly joy. At stake, then, is the image Jesus’ critics have of God. In making them feel the “resistance” of the friends and neighbours to the shepherd’s invitation, the parable makes them confront the true depth of their own resistance to that Jesus is offering. The same pattern recurs in the case of the woman who spends the whole day turning her house upside down to find a single coin of no great value. Are the friends and neighbours summoned to rejoice with her really going to participate all that enthusiastically in her joy? Again, her behaviour seems extravagant. They might well remark: “She’s a bit obsessive about that coin. Surely it would have turned up one day. Why all this fuss” But again, the last sentence makes the point: “heaven” (here “the angels of God”) reacts like that to the recovery of a single sinner who had been lost. Why not share on earth the joy of the celebration in heaven? Fr B Byrne sj MASS TIMES ST IGNATIUS Toowong: Weekdays 5.30pm every afternoon; Saturday 9.00am & 6.00pm (Vigil); Sunday 7.00am & 5.00pm.

  • Plenary Wrap-Up – May, 2011 the Following Is a Record of Proceedings
    Plenary wrap-up – May, 2011 The following is a record of proceedings and discussions which took place at the Plenary Meeting of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference between May 6-12, 2011. The Mass of the Holy Spirit was concelebrated on Friday 6 May in the chapel of Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney at 7am. The President of Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, was the principal celebrant and preached the homily. The President welcomed the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Guiseppe Lazzarotto who was warmly greeted. As is customary for each Plenary, religious leaders from CRA (Catholic Religious Australia) were present as observers for all of the sessions. These leaders were Sr. Anne Derwin rsj (Sister of St Joseph); Fr Timothy Norton svd (Divine Word Missionary); and Sr Marie Duffy rsm (Sister of Mercy). In a particular moment, the Bishops remembered fondly but with deep sadness their brother Bishop Joseph Angelo Grech, who died suddenly late last year (28 December) of a blood disorder. His contribution to the life of the Australian Church was recognised, and the Bishops reflected on the difficulty of losing such a talented individual on many of their commissions. The following changes to Commissions were approved: Bishop Peter Elliott retire from the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life due to commitments to the Personal Ordinariate; Bishop Julian Porteous be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Mission and Faith Formation; Bishop Christopher Prowse be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life; Bishop Christopher Prowse

  • JACHS Review
    Book review Benedict, Me and the Cardinals Three: The Story of the Dismissal of Bishop Bill Morris by Pope Benedict XVI Author: William Martin Morris; Publisher: Hindmarsh: ATF Press, 2014 ISBN: 9781921511417 Paperback, 437 pages, $54.95 Reviewed by Bernard Doherty* Few events are more likely to make history in the Church than an episcopal dismissal; an occurrence that, while rare, this book demonstrates is not a unique occurrence even here in the faraway antipodes. Bishop William Morris’ book is a twenty-nine-chapter account (with twenty-two appendices!) of the events surrounding his dismissal by Pope Benedict XVI and a group of highly placed Cardinals and provides an important witness to the fraught relationship between parts of the Australian episcopate and parts of the Roman curia over recent decades. While Morris includes a few autobiographical details, the vast bulk of this book deals with events which transpired from the late 1990s through to early 2014 and will be of interest to historians and contemporary observers for the light it sheds on the relationship between Australia and Rome in the wake of the much-debated 1998 Statement of Conclusions, a document outlining the allegedly parlous state of the Catholic Church in Australia which upon its release caused a minor furor over claims its conclusions were based on a minority opinion and not reflective of the Australian reality. The great strength of this book is its extensive documentation, including Morris’ correspondence with Rome and pastoral documents, which allows the reader to assess many of the claims made within the body of the text.

  • What Difference Does It Make Now That Mary Mackillop Is a Saint?
    What difference does it make now that Mary MacKillop is a Saint? Frank Brennan SJ – October 13, 2011 Last week, the world went into iMourning, at the death of Apple's Steve Jobs. Many of us on our iDevices looked back to the Stanford graduation address he delivered in 2005 just after he thought he had beaten cancer. While the cognoscenti debate whether he was an inventor or a visionary, there can be no doubt that he was the embodiment of so much of our contemporary technocratic culture. He spoke of death in these terms: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

  • Ash Wednesday Reflection (2019)
    ASH WEDNESDAY REFLECTION (2019) If ever repentance and conversion are needed in the Australian Catholic Church it is at this very moment. Significantly, this urgent call for a change of heart is not coming from our Church leaders but from the wider Australian community, the media and, most importantly, from deeply committed Catholics and those who share their hopes and aspirations. The harrowing revelations from the Royal Commission and, most recently, the conviction of Cardinal George Pell have rocked the Catholic Church in this country to its foundations. American Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is “spot on” when he says that Australians are deeply traumatised in the wake of all this. But before we start feeling sorry for ourselves and the loss of reputation, we must clearly focus on the untold damage done to victims of abuse. Innocent lives have been irreparably damaged by such abuse which has been perpetrated by God’s representatives. This has led to confusion, guilt and shame on the part of the young ones abused, preventing them from sharing this with parents and others who might have been able to help them. Often when they did open up, they weren’t believed. At least now that it is all out in the open, there may be some hope of bringing belated healing and reparation to those so harshly treated along with their families and loved ones. It goes without saying that it is not just individual “rotten apples” which have caused such destruction but a total system failure in the mentality and structures of the Catholic Church.

  • Principal's Statement Regarding The
    15 March 2019 Dear Sancta Students, I write to address the recent sentencing of Cardinal George Pell, and the distress and discomfort felt in the wider community at this time. The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse laid bare the failings of the Catholic Church in its role to protect and support children and families. At its heart, the Royal Commission revealed a pattern of institutional interests being prioritised over those of children, their families and the adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As a Catholic and as a professional working in a child protection context, I was horrified and appalled by the testimony of victims and by the continuous revelations of the failings of my own Church and other institutions in which we place our trust. I know that there are members of the broader Sancta community who have been hurt, directly or indirectly, by child sexual abuse. I am concerned that the conviction and sentencing of Cardinal George Pell and the media storm surrounding it is a particularly emotional time for them. I am in hope that we, as a community, will stand in solidarity with all victims of abuse, especially right now. Amidst the confusion and sadness and brokenness, I am also finding hope. In recent weeks I have read and listened to the messages of many Church leaders who are speaking frankly of the need for change in the Catholic Church, for it to be a humbler Church, for it to put the needs of children and vulnerable adults first, of the need to benefit from the leadership of women, and of the need to put people ahead of the institution.

  • Plenary Council Submission by Damian Carroll
    PLENARY COUNCIL SUBMISSION BY DAMIAN CARROLL This Plenary Council should be an opportunity for all Australian Catholics to not only have their say about the present and future direction of the Church, but also to be able to share in its decision making. Canon 443 is skewered heavily in favour of Bishops and other high ranking church officials being the decision makers at the expense of priests, the laity and retired bishops. This canon should be repealed and rewritten to embrace the principle of shared decision making. It is now fairly clear that in Australia there is an ever widening gap between Church and the laity with respect to the following: - • The requirement that the priesthood be limited to celibate males. • Steadfast refusal to ordain women and to allow women to share decision making at the highest level. • The Church’s rejection of gay marriage. • The Church’s prejudice towards LGBTQ people. • The laity’s rejection of Humanae Vitae. • The failure of the Church to genuinely engage in shared decision making. • The requirement for religious observance. • Accountability and transparency in decision making. • Bishops being out of touch with the laity’s views on multiple issues. • Unnecessary response from bishops and priests to Recommendation 7.4 of the Royal Commission into Institutional Sex Abuse that laws concerning mandatory reporting to Child Protection Authorities should not exempt priests from being required to report knowledge or suspicion formed on the basis of information provided in a religious confession. Like all Christians, Catholics are called to obey two basic commandments of God. They are “love God” and “love one another as I love you.” The Catholic Church in Australia at large does a good job in providing sacramental services and through its works in education, health, aged care, refugee and indigenous welfare, spirituality and chaplaincy services.

This thesis has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. © February 2018 Heather Suzanne Skousgaard i Acknowledgements They say that writing a thesis is a lonely business. Yet for me, this thesis has brought many new friends into my life and enabled me to discover untold treasures in both the people around me and indeed in myself. For this, the word ‘thanks’ can never be enough. To my SIP friends – for whom the word ‘participant’ would fail to represent the genuine friendship you offered me – I owe my heartfelt gratitude. It is no accident that I’ve selected my grandparents’ names to represent many of you. In welcoming me to SIP and Catalyst I felt you welcomed me into your family, offering me not only an insight into what made SIP ‘tick’ but an opportunity to discover the deep love and familial-spirit that defines your community. I will be forever grateful for this experience. To my academic community – I owe first my deepest thanks to my supervisor, Professor Christine Helliwell, who has been my steadfast guide throughout all the intricacies and uncertainties of the PhD journey, offering both her insightful critique as well as heartfelt care as we navigated the various stages of this adventure together.
