MELBOURNE FICTION the Save Albert Park Campaign Has Our Lady of the Lamps, by Jim Davidson "We take for granted the ready availability of food from our local shops. But in a lot of countries there are no shops. And no food . '1n those countries, millions wake up hungry every day and most are chronically malnourished.

Most of us derive our religious allegiance from our parents. We absorb its traditions, become aware of its liturgy and recognise its strengths and human failings. If we adhere to it, this Faith becomes a part of us, especially cherished because it reminds us of the precious years of childhood, our families and our educational experiences.

  • BA Santamaria
    B. A. Santamaria: 'A True Believer'? Brian Costar and Paul Strangio* By revisiting the existing scholarship deeding with Santamaria's career and legacy, as well as his own writings, this article explores the apparent tension between the standard historical view that Santamaria attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy' on the Labor Party, and the proposition articulated upon his death that he moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement. It concludes that, while there were occasional points of ideological intersection between Santamaria and Australian laborism, his inability to transcend the particular religious imperatives which underpinned his thought and action rendered'him incompatible with that movement. It is equally misleading to locate him in the Catholic tradition. Instead, the key to unlocking his motives and behaviour was that he was a Catholic anti-Modernist opposed not only to materialist atheism but also to religious and political liberalism. It is in this sense that he was 'alien'both to labor ism, the majorityofthe Australian Catholic laity and much of the clergy. It is now over six years since Bartholomew Augustine 'Bob' Santamaria died on Ash Wednesday 25 February 1998—enough time to allow for measured assessments of his legacy. This article begins by examining the initial reaction to his death, especially the eagerness of many typically associated with the political Left in Australia rushing to grant Santamaria a kind of posthumous pardon. Absolving him of his political sins may have been one thing; more surprising was the readiness to ideologically embrace the late Santamaria. The suggestion came from some quarters, and received tacit acceptance in others, that he had moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement Such a notion sits awkwardly with the standard historical view that Santamaria had attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy* on the Labor Party, thus explaining why his impact on labour politics proved so combustible.

  • Fr Peter Morrissey 14 August 1928
    Fr Peter Morrissey 14 August 1928 - 28 April 2020 ’A home-visiting priest is a Mass-going people’ Through the death of Fr Peter Morrissey, the Sydney church has lost a devoted and humble priest. Aged 91, Fr Morrissey, was one of the oldest priests in the Archdiocese and he will be sorely missed by many, including friends in the parishes that he served with dedication. Born at Hornsby on 14 August 1928, Peter was the second youngest child of John Daniel Morrissey and Stella Gurney (a convert). Mr Morrisey ran a small nursey at Hornsby and was highly regarded for his knowledge of native plants. His Irish ancestors were Hornsby district pioneers, including the Reddy family, who donated land for community benefit – today Reddy Park. Fr Peter attended the Waitara Convent School operated by the Sisters of Mercy, before moving to Eastwood Marist Brothers, where he left, aged 15, with the Intermediate Certificate. He initially worked on a sheep station as a rouse-about and then he went to Leeton where his sister, who worked for Australian Women’s Land Army, secured him work as a general farm hand. He returned to Sydney and worked in a clerical position at Johnson and Johnson. In 1947, after being interviewed by Cardinal Norman Gilroy, Peter commenced studies at Springwood, where first he undertook the Leaving Certificate. After matriculation he commenced theology studies. The motivation to devote his life in service to God had been inspired by Fr Mick Farrell of Waitara Parish. In an interview on Australia Day this year for an upcoming history of his final parish, Mortlake, Fr Morrissey recalled: I felt I could be storing up Grace for heaven … rather than working for material/secular interests, which had no value by comparison.

  • Media Release – March 11, 2008 New Apostolic Nuncio Arrives in Australia
    Media Release – March 11, 2008 New Apostolic Nuncio arrives in Australia The new Apostolic Nuncio to Australia, the Most Reverend Giuseppe Lazzarotto has arrived in Canberra after being welcomed to Australia by Church representatives during a brief stop-over in Sydney. His Excellency arrived in Sydney on Tuesday, March 4 and was met at the airport by the Chargé d’Affaires of the Apostolic Nunciature, Msgr. Jude Thaddeus Okolo, by Brother Laurie Needham cfc, Executive Director of Catholic Religious Australia, and by Rev. Fr. Liem Duong of the Archdiocese of Sydney. The Papal Representative also met the Members of the Permanent Committee of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC). The President of the ACBC, Archbishop Philip Wilson, warmly welcomed Archbishop Lazzarotto on behalf of the Australian Bishops, expressing best wishes for his mission in Australia. Prior to meeting the Members of the Permanent Committee, Archbishop Lazzarotto paid a courtesy visit to Cardinal Edward Clancy. The same morning, he also met Cardinal Edward Cassidy, with whom he renewed old memories of their acquaintances. He was also received by an eight-man delegation of the Bishops of the Oriental Rite in Australia, including the four Catholic Oriental Rite Bishops. Archbishop Lazzarotto flew to Canberra on Wednesday and was met by the Deputy Chief of Protocol of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Mr. Colin Hill. Shortly after, following customary diplomatic procedures, and in preparation for the presentation of his Credential Letters, Archbishop Lazzarotto met Ms Lyndall McLean, Chief of Protocol, and other DFAT Officials. It is expected that in the next few days the Apostolic Nuncio will present his Letters of Credence to the Governor-General of Australia, Major General Michael Jeffery.

  • Signs of the Times Down Under
    157 Signs of the times down under Chris McGillion UDGED BY ITS EXPANSION, ACHIEVEMENTS and the contribution it has J made to the wider society, the Catholic Church in Australia has been a remarkable success. From its humble origins among Irish convicts transported to the penal colony of New South Wales after 1788, the Catholic Church has grown into the largest (and most powerful) church in the country. It is the biggest non-government employer, the major private sector welfare-service provider, and a significant force in education and health. About 27 per cent of Australia's almost twenty million people are professed Catholics and theirs is now a predomi- nantly affluent middle-class church. Once actively if not officially discriminated against, Catholics now occupy prominent positions in politics, business and the professions, and it is they who have made the running in recent years on important issues of national concern including recognition of the rights of indigenous Australians, social justice and a more compassionate approach to refugees. Over a period of a little more than 200 years the 'Protestant Establishment' once so firmly entrenched in Australia has given way to a broader and more significant 'Catholic Ascendancy'. 1 Admittedly the Church is experiencing internal problems. Weekly mass attendance has continued a steady decline throughout the 1990s from an already low base in the 1970s and 1980s. There is a critical shortage of priests and their average age is now sixty years. Vocations are drying up. The laity have assumed important leadership roles (primarily within the Catholic education system but also within parish structures), but there is a widening gulf between the attitudes and practices of ordinary Catholics and official teaching, especially on matters of sexual morality such as birth control.

  • Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937
    Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937 PETER J WILKINSON This is Part 1 of the seventh in the series of articles looking at the particular councils of the Catholic Church in Australia held between 1844 and 1937. It examines the background and factors leading to the Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand held in Sydney in September 1937, which brought all the particular churches of both nations for the second time. Part 2 will appear in the Winter edition of The Swag. After the Australian Plenary Council in 1905, only four particular (provincial and plenary) councils were convened in the English-speaking mission territories under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’): the Provincial Councils of Tuam and Cashel in Ireland held in 1907, the Provincial Council of Melbourne in 1907, and the 4th Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand in 1937. Developments in church governance, 1905-1937 Fewer councils were held in the English-speaking mission territories in this period as Pope Pius X (1903-1914) had announced in his 1908 Constitution Sapienti Consilio that the hierarchies of Great Britain, Canada, and the United States were ‘established’ and the churches there were no longer considered ‘mission territories’. Australia and New Zealand, however, were to remain mission territories under the jurisdiction of Propaganda.1 In 1911, Cardinal Patrick Moran died, and was succeeded by his coadjutor, Archbishop Michael Kelly (1911-40). Moran had convened three plenary councils in 1885, 1895 and 1905, been Australia’s most powerful Catholic prelate, and for 27 years had functioned as the Holy See’s de facto apostolic delegate for Australia and New Zealand.

  • In Good Faith a Historical Study of the Provision of Religious Education for Catholic Children Not in Catholic Schools in New South Wales
    In Good Faith A historical study of the provision of religious education for Catholic children not in Catholic Schools in New South Wales: The CCD Movement 1880 - 2000 Submitted by Ann Maree Whenman BA (Hons) DipEd (Macquarie University) Grad Dip RE (ACU) A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Religious Education Faculty of Education Australian Catholic University Research Services Office PO Box 968 North Sydney NSW 2059 Date of Submission: July 2011 Statement of Authorship and Sources This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No parts of this thesis have been submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the thesis. All research procedures reported in the thesis received the approval of the Human Research Ethics Committee at Australian Catholic University. .................................................................................................. Signature ii Abstract This thesis provides a coherent documented history of the provision of religious education to Catholic children who did not attend Catholic schools in New South Wales from 1880 to 2000. The CCD movement is the title generally assigned to a variety of approaches associated with this activity. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) is an association of clergy and lay faithful, within the Catholic tradition, established in the 16th century, devoted to the work of Catholic religious education. In the 20th century the principal concern of the CCD came to be the religious education of Catholic children who were not in Catholic schools.

  • Local Parishes Encouraged to Reach Out
    Local parishes encouraged to reach out The Commission will reconvene this week to discuss administrative issues about the Marist case. The hearing examining the Melbourne Response starts in Melbourne on 18 August. This time between the hearings gives us a chance to reflect on the Royal Commission and to consolidate what we have learnt. It’s also a good opportunity to think about what action we can take right now, in our Parishes, to truly assist survivors. With each passing week the extent of child abuse, over the decades, in institutions is becoming more evident. As Justice McClellan said, up to 1,000 institutions have been implicated in the over 3,500 stories the Commission has heard or read since it began. So far the Catholic Church has appeared in more than half the public hearings of the Royal Commission. Of the 3,500 personal stories relayed to the Commission, over half involve faith-based institutions with the majority of those related to the Catholic Church. It is easy to understand why the bond of trust between the Church and the community is certainly frayed, if not broken, for many people. The network of outrage and disenchantment with the Church extends well beyond the survivors who are telling their stories. Many people know someone; have a child, sibling, friend or partner who has been a victim of the clergy or of a vowed religious person. Their determination for justice and peace is helping to shape our reform agenda. Since the Royal Commission was established I have attended many parish-based meetings.
