  • 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.
