The pilgrimage will bring to life the gospels as we daily celebrate Mass in the Holy Places. During the pilgrimage we will also meet with our Christian sisters and brothers, and their children. These encounters will bring home the reality and difficulties of Christians living as minorities but giving witness to their Faith. Knights and Dames are encouraged to bring family and friends along with us on this spiritual journey. It is a wonderful introduction to the Order and our mission of support to the Latin Patriarch and the people of the Ho- ly Land. For more information please contact H.E.

You will travel to Rome as the Vice President of the Conference of Latin Bishops of the Arab Regions. What do you think of this meeting? I think the expectations are too high. Such a meeting cannot end with a concrete and specific results. In addition, the problems and dynamics in Western countries differ from those in the Middle East, Africa or Asia. In the Middle East, for example, we do not really have this specific issue of child abuse in our churches. In such cases, the penal law allows for the death penalty, whereas the tribal law can be even harsher. So, you always have to consider the differ- ent local dynamics. 2) What result do you expect for the meeting? I expect clear ideas on how to proceed to deal with the issue. Then, the Bishops’ Conferences in their region have to adopt their own laws according to the specific situation. 3) To what extent is child abuse actually present in the Middle East? When I was the Custos, I was responsible for the Holy Land for twelve years, now for two and a half years as a Bish- op. I have never encountered a case of child abuse during this time. We may not have this specific problem, but there are lots of schools and institutions, where we have to take action to prevent such cases in the future. The fact that we have not heard anything, does not mean that they do not exist in our country. I am sure that they exist, and we have to be prepared for that and react appropriately. 4) Let us look at the general situation of Christians in the Holy Land. In which situation are they in principle? From the point of view of numbers, we are a minority. It may be true but in the Middle East, minority is associated with having fewer rights. We want to be citizens with equal rights. In reality, we are about 1% of the population in Is- rael and the Palestinian territories. Depending on the region, our problems are very different: In Israel, the main question is about our rights as a Christian community. In the Palestinian territories, there are more economic, social and political problems. We have no problem with the authorities, but things are different in everyday life. As we are not part of the bigger Jewish and Muslim communities, it is harder for us to get the same opportunities. 5) Are Christians in the Holy Land free to live their faith? We are free to express ourselves. There is freedom of worship, which is not freedom of religion. Our situation in the Holy Land is different than, for example, the Christians in Egypt or that in Syria or Iraq. The numbers of Christians are decreasing, slowly but steadily. 6) What is the biggest problem for Christians in the Holy Land? As Christians, we are not a third population. The Arab Christians, for example, are Palestinians. Those living in Israel have a problem of being seen as equal citizens, as are all other Palestinians. In the Palestinian territories, they are facing political problems due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, lack of opportunities and unemployment. 7) What role do Catholics play in the Holy Land? An important one. Of course, the history of Christians in the Holy Land and even in Europe was one of conflict among the different denominations. But in the end, these are conflicts about power, not about faith.

  • Delegates Named for Celebration of Plenary
    MEDIA RELEASE March 23, 2020 DELEGATES NAMED FOR CELEBRATION OF PLENARY COUNCIL Plenary Council president Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB has written to 266 other Catholics across the country, calling them as delegates for the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia. “At a time in our Church’s history we’ve not seen before, with the suspension of Masses in many parts of the country and around the world, the announcement of our Plenary Council delegates is a source of great joy for the People of God in Australia,” Archbishop Costelloe said. Canon law outlines those who must be called as delegates to a plenary council, including bishops, vicars general, episcopal vicars, heads of seminaries and theological institutions, and leaders of religious congregations. That amounted to 180 delegates. Canon law also allows for delegates who may be called as representatives – the total of which can’t exceed half of the total of those who must be called. The number of delegates from each local church – a diocese, eparchy, ordinariate or prelature – ranged from one to four depending on the local Catholic population. In all, 78 people have so far been confirmed, with additional representation to be named from national organisations representing education, social services, health and aged care, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic. “Bishops across the country worked locally with leaders in their diocese to design a process to consider names of people who were nominated or applied to be delegates for the Plenary Council assemblies,” Archbishop Costelloe said. “We were grateful for and impressed with the faith and the calibre of the people who were nominated.

Scarnecchia Ave Maria of Law in Naples, USA ORCID: 0000-0003-1399-9303 Why Rights are Wrong in ASEAN and Beyond: A Critique of the Foundations of Universal Human Rights Abstract: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a battle- ground, one theatre in what Pope Francis has referred to as a “World War” where universal human rights, ersatz rights, and Asian values clash. Its people seek to escape old style Asian dictators while at the same time ward off a new ideological colonisation. Part One of this article provides a brief overview of the development of ASEAN and its human rights mechanisms. Part Two then examines whether the original axiomatic listing of human rights or an iteration of human rights founded upon the human genome or a Kantian underpinning can legitimise human rights and, if not, whether reference to the human soul made in the image of God with its natural law may substantiate the human rights project, perhaps, articulated as congruent with the purpose and design courts now recognise in the natural laws found in every ecosystem of nature. Part Three contends that aspects of the public trust doctrine, i.e., the natural use principle and the precautionary principle, are analogous to natural law principles and, because ‘the book of nature is one”, these environmental law principles may help jurists to recognise a theory of natural law liability in order to promote and defend authentic human rights.

    Newsletter N° 54 jerusalem cross ordinis equestris sancti sepulchri hierosolymitani @granmagistero.oessh www.oessh.va @GM_oessh Message from the Grand Master Called to follow Jesus enewed by the rich graces of the Easter Season and Pentecost, the liturgy of the Church returns to “Ordinary Time” as we return from Jerusalem to Galilee and listen to His Rinvitation to discipleship. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us to live the life He lived. Read along in Matthew, chapters 5 through 7, for a portrait of Christ, a portrait indeed that through grace, He would like to paint in each of us! Beginning with the Beatitudes, the DNA of the Christian life, the Sermon challenges us with teachings and standards, which only the saints would find practical, and achievable only through the daily graces of God. Investiture celebrations and regional lieutenancy gatherings have offered me reassuring evidence of our Order’s rich devotion to God and to good works on behalf of Christians in the Holy Land. Hopefully, our pace slackens a bit during these summer days, perhaps offering some moments of interior spiritual renewal. Might we add to our summer reading list a daily few minutes with the New Testament and a prayerful meditation on the Sermon on the Mount? Edwin Cardinal O’Brien The photo of this altar on the edge of Lake Tiberias reminds us that the members of the Order, together with all baptized, are called to witness to Christ’s Resurrection and to manifest his presence of love in the world today. contents The Order in Union with The Order and

  • 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.
