These Bills may often have a direct relationship to the conformity of laws in a parliamentary jurisdiction with the natural or moral law. The Catholic parliamentarian is both a Catholic and an elected representative, with implications for his or her life in parliament and upon decisions made as a parliamentarian. Impressing upon these parliamentarians is the traditional Catholic understanding of conscience in conformity with Apostolic Tradition that obliges adherence to the Magisterium and is not waived from the individual while in parliament, including for voting decisions.

    ACADEMIC YEAR 2018/19 SEMINARY CATALOG (revised fall 2018) Mount St. Mary’s Seminary - 2018/2019 Catalog – p. 1 MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR On behalf of the entire seminary community I welcome your interest in our program and in the formation we provide for future priests. Mount St. Mary’s Seminary is truly a national seminary whose alumni have been serving as priests for many dioceses across our great country. Since our humble beginnings in 1808 we have continued to thrive in partnership with bishops and religious superiors in preparing candidates for the priesthood who strive for holiness, are devoted to the Holy Eucharist and the Blessed Mother, and are totally loyal to the Gospel and the teaching of the Church. Our fully accredited academic programs are taught with the perspective of forming the mind, heart and soul of future shepherds. We offer degree programs in Theology including the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts (theology) with concentrations in Systematic Theology, Moral Theology, Sacred Scripture, and Church History. Our S.T.B. program offered in conjunction with the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, invites students to focus their program on the study of Thomistic Theology. Imbedded in our two-year pre- theology program is the option of earning a Master of Arts in Philosophical Studies. We also offer a certificate in Hispanic Ministry and recommend a summer language program in Guatemala. It is truly an honor to be a part of such a sacred and important endeavor forming men to become priests. I pray this catalog will be a help to you in finding out more about the great legacy of Mount St.

  • Key Challenges & Responsibilities of the Churches in the Current Social
    CHRISTIAN SOCIAL THINKING FOR AUSTRALIA: MAKING A DIFFERENCE? Key challenges & responsibilities of the churches in the current social & cultural context Fr Frank Brennan SJ AO The Oratory, Newman College, University of Melbourne 8 November 2013 1. The challenge I am honoured to accept the invitation from the Yarra Institute for Religion & Social Policy to deliver the keynote address of this conference on Christian social thinking. You have gathered to ask the hopefully rhetorical and self-evident question whether you are making a difference. Fr Bruce Duncan, Director of the Institute, has asked me to address ‘the challenges and responsibilities of the churches in the current social, ecumenical and cultural context, especially about engaging positively in helping promote human wellbeing in Australia and beyond’. Tomorrow, seven representatives of various Christian denominations will respond to my remarks in the light of their social traditions, identifying what is specific to them, and how their traditions could best contribute to a fair and inclusive society. I am delighted to be back here on the College Crescent at Melbourne University, having received my very ecumenical theological training in these surrounds at the United Faculty of Theology. I will of course speak largely from my own experience and tradition which is Catholic and Jesuit. I have one major reservation about undertaking this task. My training is in law; I know little about economics. Sadly, I think the Christian churches are all but absent from the economic debate other than making the occasional, predictable utterance about ensuring that no one is left worse off as the result of new policy measures.

Updated Wed 27 Nov 2013, 8:57pm AEDT East Timor is accusing Australia of bugging its cabinet for commercial advantage and threatening to end a lucrative gas treaty over the claims. Conor Duffy Source: 7.30 | Duration: 8min Topics: foreign-affairs, oil-and-gas, security-intelligence, australia, east-timor Transcript LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: New spying allegations have blown up around the Australian Government, with East Timor claiming Australia bugged its cabinet ahead of crucial talks on a lucrative gas deal in 2004. A senior Timorese Government minister currently in Australia has told 7.30 that Dili is seeking to have the gas treaty overturned in an international court because it was tainted by espionage. 1 of 4 11/30/2013 2:32 PM East Timor accuses Australia of spying for economic gain - ABC News... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-27/east-timor-accuses-austr... The Timorese Government also claims Australia has cheated East Timor of the benefits of its rich resources. The minister has revealed the East Timorese quietly sought a response from Australia last December, but when its approach was ignored, it sought international arbitration. As Conor Duffy reports, East Timor says the revenue in the treaty is crucial for its future. CONOR DUFFY, REPORTER: In Dili in 2004, the cabinet of the newest country in the world met to work on a deal that could make or break its future. At stake was $40 billion of revenue from the Greater Sunrise gas field, 100 kilometres off the East Timorese coast and about 400 kilometres from Australia.

  • National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children
    Foreword One in three Australian women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15. Almost one in five have experienced sexual violence. It is time for that to change. The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010‐2022 (the National Plan) brings together the efforts of governments across the nation to make a real and sustained reduction in the levels of violence against women. It is the first plan to coordinate action across jurisdictions. It is the first to focus strongly on prevention. It is the first to look to the long term, building respectful relationships and working to increase gender equality to prevent violence from occurring in the first place. It is the first to focus on holding perpetrators accountable and encourage behaviour change. The National Plan sets out a framework for action over the next 12 years. This plan shows Australia’s commitments to upholding the human rights of Australian women through the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Declaration to End Violence Against Women and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The National Plan has been built from an evidence base of new research and extensive consultation with experts and the community. The National Plan will be implemented through four three‐year plans, with the “First Action Plan: Building Strong Foundations” for 2010 to 2013 published in this plan. It seeks six national outcomes through the implementation of a wide range of strategies. By working together and challenging the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to occur, all Australian governments are saying a very loud “no” to violence.
