Britain’s most senior Catholic clergyman has branded the UK Government’s opposition to a ‘tiny tax’ on banks and the financial sector to help combat poverty as ‘shameful’ and reiter- ated his support for the introduction of a Robin Hood Tax on institutions in the UK. Strong criticism The cardinal urged Mr Cameron not just to help ‘your very rich colleagues’ and said it was immoral ‘just to ignore’ those who were suffer- ing as a result of recent financial disasters. “My message to David Cameron, as the head of our government, is to seriously think again about this Robin Hood Tax, the tax to help the Vote to protect our schools poor by taking a little bit from the rich,” Cardi- nal O’Brien said. “The poor have suffered tremendously from the financial disasters of I Threat of same-sex ‘marriage’ highlighted in Scottish Council election week recent years and nothing, really, has been done by the very rich people to help them.

In a second speech the same day, the Pope also told the Council of Europe that human trafficking was the new slavery of our age, depriving its victims of all dignity. The Holy Father was speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg during a brief visit meant to highlight his vision for Europe a quarter-century after St John Paul II travelled there to address a continent still divided by the Iron Curtain. “Despite talk of human rights, too many people are treated as objects in Europe: unborn, terminally ill, and the elderly,” the Pope told MEPs. “We’re too tempted to throwaway lives we don’t see as ‘useful.’ Upholding the dignity of the person means acknowledging the value of the gift of human life.” He said that ‘killing [children]… before they’re born is the great mistake that happens when technology is allowed to take over’ and is ‘the Pope Francis shakes hands with Martin Schulz, inevitable consequence of a throwaway culture.’ president of the European Parliament, while visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg I Continued on page 6 Galloway’s bishop-elect in prayer call I Fr William Nolan, ‘gobsmacked’ over Pope Francis’ appointment, asks for parishioners to pray for him By Ian Dunn seeds of Faith so long ago,” The new bishop added that his experience in many pastoral situations, He said he was glad that his ordination parishioners were delighted for him.

The Papal Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini, speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, said: “It gives me great joy to be here today for the installation of your new Archbishop, especially as you have chosen this particular day of St Joseph the Worker. This marks a new beginning for you all.” Following the Gospel, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon gave an inspiring homily during which he highlighted the Hillsborough inquests as a shining example of the search for truth. Archbishop McMahon said that justice will be done for the 96 people who lost their lives and for their relatives. He said the families of the victims had shown a dignity over the last quarter century, which was an example to everybody. "God has endowed the people of Liverpool, Lancashire and the Isle of Man with many great gifts, not least constancy in our Catholic faith,” he said. “The Martyrs of Lancashire testify to their love of Jesus’ name and their fidelity to the truth.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO CARD. TOMKO ON THE OCCASION OF THE SEVENTH CENTENARY OF GIOVANNI MONTECORVINO'S ARRIVAL IN BEIJINGTo my dear Brother Cardinal JOZEF TOMKO Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of PeoplesI am very pleased that you will preside at special ceremonies in Taiwan to commemorate the singular missionary achievement of Giovanni da Montecorvino, first evangelizer among the Chinese people and first Archbishop of Khambaliq, the present-day Beijing. In fact, seven centuries have passed since the great Franciscan missionary arrived in Khambaliq, after a journey which lasted five years, carrying with him a letter of Pope Nicholas IV to the ruler of the vast territories of the Far East. From his own letters and from the writings of contemporaries we know that his apostolate in China produced abundant fruits, to the point that Pope Clement V in 1307 raised him to the rank of Archbishop and granted him extended faculties to establish and organize the Church in that distant region. His ordination took place in 1310 in the presence of the Khan, when the Bishops sent to consecrate him finally arrived in that Capital.By the time Giovanni da Montecorvino died in 1328, his thirty-four years of wise and untiring missionary activity in Khambaliq had given rise to a numerous faith-filled Christian community and a wide network of churches, convents, schools and other institutions.The celebration of the seventh centenary of Giovanni da Montecorvino' s arrival in Beijing offers me the occasion to direct my thoughts to the present Chinese Catholic community, which is the continuation and growth of that first plantatio Ecclesiae on Chinese soil.I am indeed happy to reaffirm my deep affection and esteem in our Lord Jesus Christ to all the Catholic sons and daughters of the great and illustrious Chinese family.

  • Parish Priest's Report 2011
    The Oratory Catholic Church of St Aloysius, Oxford Parish Priest’s Report 2011 2011 has been another busy and grace-filled year for our parish, with many events to report. In addition to the statistics attached, we have also seen two ordinations: both of the same person – Fr Nicholas - first to the diaconate and then to the priesthood, and the clothing of a novice: Br Oliver. In February, Fr Daniel was elected Provost, and Fr Robert has taken a well-earned sabbatical after over 20 years as Superior. He went first to the Oratory in Genoa and then (after the American visa finally arrived) to the Philadelphia Oratory. Fr Richard has returned to us after his time as Provost of the Birmingham Oratory, meaning that we now have nine members of the Oratorian community here. Funerals have taken place in our church in 2011 of Mary Abel, Alexandra Konopelska, Martin Moran, Mary Burnell, Paul Carroll, Basil Burwood-Taylor, Mary Selwood, Andy Sivewright, Patrick O’Kane, Vera Ryhajlo and Caja Bayley. Since the beginning of 2012 we have also had the funerals of Professor Sir Michael Dummett, Valerie McNichol, Baby Marco Pezzini and David Whitaker. May they rest in peace. Obituaries for David Whitaker and Sir Michael Dummett have been printed in the national newspapers, so it will suffice to say that we shall miss the twice-yearly confusion of the Emeritus Wykeham Professor of Logic whenever the clocks went back or forward. I would like to single out two of those who died during 2011 who were particularly long-standing and faithful parishioners: Mary Burnell was the inspiration of the St Aloysius’ Drama group since the 1950s.

  • Memorie Autobiografiche Di Don Paolo Riccardi: Parte 4
    Incarichi Nazionali Paolo Ricciardi 228 Una vita di fatti, di sogni e di speranze Incarichi Nazionali I. Membro della prima Commissione Presbiterale Italiana Per decisione della C.E.I., è stata istituita la Commissione Pre- sbiterale Italiana, composta da due sacerdoti eletti da ciascuna delle Commissioni Regionali del Clero e dai rappresentanti di alcuni Or- dini religiosi in Italia. Sono stato eletto rappresentante del Clero della Regione Puglia e riconfermato per altre due volte, e quindi ho partecipato alle riu- nioni trimestrali per ben quindici anni. Insieme ad altri cinque, sono stato designato dai membri della C.P.I. a partecipare alle assemblee annuali della C.E.I. due volte (1975 e 1980). Quasi tutti i Consiglieri sono stati nominati cardinali (Giovanni Saldarini e Domenico Calcagno) e vescovi. Ho collaborato con i presidenti Guglielmo Giaquinta, Enrico Bartoletti, Luigi Maverna, Ennio Antonelli e Giuseppe Betori. La C.E.I. ha sempre provveduto alle spese di vitto e alloggio a Roma e altrove. La C.E.P. doveva provvedere al rimborso delle spese per il viaggio, erogate dalla C.E.I. tramite la C.E.P. Non ho ricevuto mai rimborsi, anche se richiesti per iscritto. Agli inizi e nei primi anni la C.P.I. ha dato il mio contributo sui problemi che riguardavano il clero italiano. Nei primi anni abbiamo lavorato per proporre soluzioni su pro- blemi economici, formativi e pastorali del Clero, discussi anche in sotto commissioni riunite quasi sempre in amene località dell’Italia settentrionale. Con il passare degli anni, come avviene per gli altri organismi di partecipazione ecclesiale, l’O.d.g., preparato dal direttivo con il pre- sidente, si riduceva ad ascoltare qualche conferenziere sulla forma- zione permanente del Clero, sui problemi della Scuola in Italia, dell’Unione Europea, dell’A.C.I., ecc.
