    Archbishop Patrick O’Regan’s INSTALLATION frequently asked questions Who is our new Archbishop? Archbishop-designate Patrick Michael O’Regan comes to Adelaide from the Diocese of Sale where he has been the Bishop since 2014. Appointed by Pope Francis on 19 March 2020, Archbishop-designate O’Regan will be the ninth Archbishop of Adelaide. Bishop O’Regan was born in Bathurst in 1958 and educated at St Joseph’s Primary School in Perthville and at St Stanislaus’ College Bathurst. He undertook seminary training at St Columba’s College Springwood and St Patrick’s College Manly, and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Bathurst in 1983. He was appointed Bishop of Sale in December 2014, with his episcopal ordination in February 2015. He holds a licentiate in sacred liturgy and sacramental theology from the Institut Catholique de Paris and is a member of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy. Coat of Arms & Where is the installation being held, and who is Motto going to be there?

  • History Essay Part3 TV
    Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II (written in 2007 by Thang Vu during his seminary formation towards the priesthood) Part III: The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II The Local Church Reception: Of John XXIII and News of a Council As Catholics around the world were able to see their Vicar of Christ on TV for the first time, by leaving the Vatican, visiting prisoners and looking for all the world like a man who enjoyed life and people, John XXIII became loved in a way altogether different to the awe-struck respect afforded by the world to Pius XII – “executants, not collaborators.” 1 His portliness in a television age only increased the sense people had that here was a Pope who was human and simple. His announcement of a Council for the Universal Church was the clearest and least arguable demonstration of the Petrine ministry exercised in this century. Theologically, the announcement of the Council captured the attention of the local Church too; here the decision brought to bear locally something of the weight of the Universal Church. Local Catholics had to respond in a supportive and hopeful way, they had to try to please even if the consequences of a Council were largely matters for speculation between 1959 and 1962. Because the awesome charism of the papal primacy was exercised by Good Pope John rather than by a remote and ethereal figure, Catholics at a local level felt assured that their long-standing inclination toward obedience in this transitional phase of history was right for the times. 2 John was Bishop of Rome but he was also their Supreme Pontiff.

  • Catholic Synods in Australia, 1844-2011
    Catholic Synods in Australia, 1844-2011 Peter J Wilkinson December 2011 Introduction The Open Letter to Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Bishops of Australia, prepared by Catholics for Renewal in July 2011, contains the recommendation ‘that each diocesan bishop convene at an early date a synod in his diocese, under the provisions of Canon Law (C.460-468), to discuss how the local Church might be a more authentic witness in the 21st century’ 1. Synods have been an integral part of church governance since the time of the Apostles and have played a key role in how Catholics understand their faith, live it, and confront the issues of their times in the light of their understanding of the Gospel. Since the establishment of the Catholic Church in Australia in 1834, at least 145 Catholic synods – 3 provincial, 4 plenary and 138 diocesan – have been held throughout the nation. However, in the 46 years since the 2 nd Vatican Council (1962-1965) which explicitly called for synods ’to flourish with new vigour’ (Christus Dominus, n. 36), and insisted that the laity have an active role in them, no plenary or 1 provincial councils or synods have been held, and only five Australian bishops have convened just six diocesan synods. This is a serious concern for many Australian Catholics who feel they have been denied official church forums allowing their voices to be heard and their views to be properly considered. A tradition of synods Synods are the earliest and traditional forums for collegial discussion, debate and decision-making in the Church.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.
