Pope Francis met with a group of 38 Austral- ian bishops on June 24 for more than two hours as part of their Ad Limina Apostolorum visit, translated as “To the Threshold of the Apostles”. It was a high point of a memorable first day of the Ad Limina, which began with the bishops celebrating Mass at the tomb of St Peter. Australian Catholic Bishops Conference president Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge told his fellow bishops that it was “a time of humiliation” for Catholic Church leaders, but he was convinced that God was still at work. “To celebrate the Eucharist at the tomb of Peter and then to engage in pastoral dialogue with his successor was a unique and grace-filled way to start our week in Rome,” Archbishop Coleridge said. There was a classic photo moment when Archbishop Coleridge presented Pope Francis with an Akubra hat. The Pontiff immediately put it on and ap- peared to enjoy the gift. The bishops raised with Pope Francis a number of topics that are of deep concern to the Catholic Church in Australia; the Church’s work to eliminate child sexual abuse and to accom- pany survivors of abuse; the bishops’ desire to support and minister to Aboriginal and Torres concerns and ideas.

We also acknowledge the Bindal and Wulgurukaba People as the traditional custodians of the Townsville region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Bindal and Wulgurukaba People today. Sir Winston Churchill was one of the most widely revered and iconic leaders in world history. He was a wartime Prime Minister and his passion and courage quite literally altered the course of history. He once stated, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” This quote is important for all our students to reflect upon as they receive their Semester 1 academic reports this week. In receiving their reports, they need to compare their Term 1 and Term 2 results and identify if their grades have been maintained or improved in the first half of the year. For some students the year commences with great enthusiasm and a focus on their studies. However, as the semester progresses and the novelty of being back to school diminishes, this can sometimes reflect a deterioration in their commitment to their studies. The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder.

  • Why the Delays in Appointing Australia's Bishops?
    Why the delays in appointing Australia’s Bishops? Bishops for the Australian mission From 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay, until 31 March 2016, seventeen popes have entrusted the pastoral care of Australia’s Catholics to 214 bishops. Until 1976 the popes had also designated Australia a ‘mission’ territory and placed it under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide which largely determined the selection of its bishops. The first five bishops never set foot on Australian soil. All English, they shepherded from afar, three from London, and two from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa where, from 1820 to 1832, they tendered their flock in distant New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land via priest delegates. The selection and appointment in 1832 of Australia’s first resident bishop, English Benedictine John Bede Polding, as Vicar Apostolic of New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land, was the result of long and delicate political and ecclesiastical negotiations between Propaganda, the British Home Secretary, the Vicars Apostolic of the London District and Cape of Good Hope, the English Benedictines, and the senior Catholic clerics in NSW. The process was repeated until English candidates were no longer available and the majority Irish Catholic laity in Australia had made it clear that they wanted Irish bishops. The first Irish bishop, Francis Murphy, was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI in 1842, and by 1900, another 30 Irish bishops had been appointed. Propaganda’s selection process was heavily influenced by Irish bishops in Ireland and Australia and the predominantly Irish senior priests in the Australian dioceses.

  • Dying Peacefully - No Euthanasia Sunday 11 October 2020
    Dying Peacefully - No Euthanasia Sunday 11 October 2020 A PASTORAL LETTER TO the People, Clergy and Religious Catholic communities of Queensland Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) is legal in Victoria and Western Australia. In Queensland, the Law Reform Commission has been asked to draft legislation that would legalise voluntary assisted dying (VAD). Legislation has not come before the current Parliament, but it may in the future, whatever the outcome of the forthcoming election. The Catholic Church is opposed to voluntary assisted dying. However, the Church strongly supports high-quality palliative care, respect for patient autonomy, preservation of personal dignity and a peaceful end to life. Nobody is morally compelled to suffer unbearable pain, nobody should feel like a burden, and nobody should feel that their life is worthless. It is clear from appeals across the world to legalise some form of assisted suicide or euthanasia which in Australia is called voluntary assisted dying, that people are afraid of losing their freedom, their dignity, their worth, as they face what they believe will be a terrible process of dying. The Catholic Church maintains — based on its theological and philosophical beliefs on the nature of human beings, and on the empirical evidence of high-quality specialist palliative care — that none of these things need come true. Freedom, dignity, worth, and minimal suffering can all be achieved. Dying need not be horrifying. This is not to glorify or minimise how challenging the process of dying is. But it is a process that we as a society and as individuals must face in a way that respects and preserves those principles of freedom, dignity and the minimization of harm that we all hold dear.
