These are the words at the very beginning of St John’s Gospel. They set the scene and tone of the Eucharistic readings that characterise this Gospel account. Over the centuries, theologians have tried to make sense of this concept, this Truth that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. As Eucharistic people, as people of the Incarnation, we believe it, and we allow these truths to dwell in our hearts. We ponder them, and as missionaries, we share them. This collection looks at the ways and means Australian followers of Jesus, particularly those working in the Catholic media, share the Gospel message through the new and emerging portals of social media. In his Message for the 47th World Communications Day, on the theme ‘Social Networks: portals of truth and faith; new spaces for evangelization’, Pope Benedict XVI focusses on the way social networks can be used to proclaim Christ’s message. Social networks invite a whole new realm of engagement; with images, ideas, words, media, film, video, cartoons, phrases, tweets, statuses and blogs. A whole new language has emerged which must be translated. Just as the Bible has been translated into thousands of languages, so too must the message of Christ be translated to fit the digital environment, without losing its power. “In the digital environment the written word is often accompanied by images and sounds. Effective communication, as in the parables of Jesus, must involve the imagination and 7 WORD MADE FLESH AND “SHARED” AMONG US the affectivity of those we wish to invite to an encounter with the mystery of God’s love. Besides, we know that Christian tradition has always been rich in signs and symbols: I think for example of the Cross, icons, images of the Virgin Mary, Christmas cribs, stained-glass windows and pictures in our churches. A significant part of mankind’s artistic heritage has been created by artists and musicians who sought to express the truths of the faith” (Pope Benedict XVI, Message for the 47th World Communications Day, Social Networks: portals of truth and faith; new spaces for evangelization, 2013). This message encourages us to use these networks to proclaim, not only from the rooftops; but also from a status update, a Tweet, an Instagram, a YouTube clip, and myriad other ways. This collection is a modern response to the mandate to “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole of creation” (Mk 16:15). This book aims to respond to some of the questions about how to evangelise the digital world. How do we engage with social media for the greater glory of God? This is the key question that is asked by a wide range of Australian Catholic communications professionals. The contributors to this book work for the Church in Australia and are employed by dioceses, Religious orders, and national Church offices. They are educators, journalists, editors, graphic designers, computer programmers, academics and youth ministers. What unites them is a passion for the media, for inclusion, and for Christ. Here they share how, individually and in communion, through various social media portals, they have allowed the Word made flesh to be shared amongst us. 8 WORD MADE FLESH AND “SHARED” AMONG US Confessions of a Digital Immigrant By Bishop Peter Ingham Bishop Peter Ingham is the Bishop of Wollongong. He is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a bishop this year as well as his 50th anniversary as a priest next year. He was ordained as an Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney in 1993 by His Eminence Cardinal Clancy and was installed as the fourth Bishop of Wollongong in 2001. He is the Bishops’ delegate for the media and Chair of the Australian Catholic Media Council. I was born in 1941, in the midst of the turmoil of the Second World War. After the war, the world experienced a time of intense change. In Australia, we welcomed migrants and refugees seeking asylum who have since truly enriched our country. In 1956 I made a life- defining decision to enter the seminary and since then the world has continued to change at an exponential rate. Back then we wrote letters and waited in hope for the postman’s whistle signalling that we had mail! The 1960s, 70s and 80s were a time of great social change especially in the ways we communicated with each other, but the fastest change has occurred over the last decade and a half as a result of the Internet. Suddenly, a new social language has emerged with terms like blogs, tweets, Facebook and Xt3.com. As Chair of the Australian Catholic Media Council and the 9 WORD MADE FLESH AND “SHARED” AMONG US Australian Bishops’ delegate for the Media, I am on a sharp learning curve. I am well aware that I am a ‘digital immigrant’ and not a ‘digital native’. But I am determined to assimilate with this new culture as best as I can. Last year I got an iPad for Christmas and it has opened up a new world to me especially with email and internet connectivity whilst on the road. I have people around me who are helping me navigate the world of social networking and I love reading comments and messages on my Facebook page. When I post something new on Facebook, I am always amazed at just how fast and far the message is spread. The capability of the Internet to be used as a tool to share the Good News far and wide in seconds is one of the reasons why the Church must engage with new media. Pope Benedict XVI’s last four Messages for World Communications Day have highlighted the opportunities and pitfalls of using the Internet. The Church and people of faith must not remain silent or remove themselves from the realm of public policy and debate; our opinions and contribution should be eagerly sought. The weight of evidence would suggest that from our long and rich tradition of Catholic faith and culture, we have much accumulated wisdom to contribute to public debate. For this reason, as much as any other, upholding and securing religious freedom is vital, not just for believers, but for society as a whole. So it is with this that I commend to you our eBook of reflections and experience, insight and advice from digital immigrants and natives, who have reflected on the ways they have used and continue to harness the power of social media for the greater glory of God. I hope you will be as inspired and challenged as I have been by their conclusions. + Bishop Peter Ingham 10 WORD MADE FLESH AND “SHARED” AMONG US Finding the Wi-Fi By Beth Doherty Beth Doherty is Communications Director for the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. Beth has also taught English as a second language in South Western Sydney; volunteered in South America; and has worked as an editor, and freelance writer. A journalist, teacher, photographer and musician, Beth is passionate about using these gifts to share a message of justice, peace and love. www.catholic.org.au mediablog.catholic.org.au When I travelled to Italy in 2010 for the canonisation of Mary MacKillop, I was still reasonably new to the world of Catholic media and had not yet worked out the best way to approach the constant demand for information or the need for speed.

He told the young people that when they live only for themselves it rarely leads to happiness. Often times many people are afraid of giving their lives to God because they think there won’t be any more fun, but the opposite is true. When we give our lives to God, he does more with it than we could ever imagine.

  • BA Santamaria

    BA Santamaria

    B. A. Santamaria: 'A True Believer'? Brian Costar and Paul Strangio* By revisiting the existing scholarship deeding with Santamaria's career and legacy, as well as his own writings, this article explores the apparent tension between the standard historical view that Santamaria attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy' on the Labor Party, and the proposition articulated upon his death that he moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement. It concludes that, while there were occasional points of ideological intersection between Santamaria and Australian laborism, his inability to transcend the particular religious imperatives which underpinned his thought and action rendered'him incompatible with that movement. It is equally misleading to locate him in the Catholic tradition. Instead, the key to unlocking his motives and behaviour was that he was a Catholic anti-Modernist opposed not only to materialist atheism but also to religious and political liberalism. It is in this sense that he was 'alien'both to labor ism, the majorityofthe Australian Catholic laity and much of the clergy. It is now over six years since Bartholomew Augustine 'Bob' Santamaria died on Ash Wednesday 25 February 1998—enough time to allow for measured assessments of his legacy. This article begins by examining the initial reaction to his death, especially the eagerness of many typically associated with the political Left in Australia rushing to grant Santamaria a kind of posthumous pardon. Absolving him of his political sins may have been one thing; more surprising was the readiness to ideologically embrace the late Santamaria. The suggestion came from some quarters, and received tacit acceptance in others, that he had moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement Such a notion sits awkwardly with the standard historical view that Santamaria had attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy* on the Labor Party, thus explaining why his impact on labour politics proved so combustible.
  • Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937

    Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937

    Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937 PETER J WILKINSON This is Part 1 of the seventh in the series of articles looking at the particular councils of the Catholic Church in Australia held between 1844 and 1937. It examines the background and factors leading to the Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand held in Sydney in September 1937, which brought all the particular churches of both nations for the second time. Part 2 will appear in the Winter edition of The Swag. After the Australian Plenary Council in 1905, only four particular (provincial and plenary) councils were convened in the English-speaking mission territories under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’): the Provincial Councils of Tuam and Cashel in Ireland held in 1907, the Provincial Council of Melbourne in 1907, and the 4th Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand in 1937. Developments in church governance, 1905-1937 Fewer councils were held in the English-speaking mission territories in this period as Pope Pius X (1903-1914) had announced in his 1908 Constitution Sapienti Consilio that the hierarchies of Great Britain, Canada, and the United States were ‘established’ and the churches there were no longer considered ‘mission territories’. Australia and New Zealand, however, were to remain mission territories under the jurisdiction of Propaganda.1 In 1911, Cardinal Patrick Moran died, and was succeeded by his coadjutor, Archbishop Michael Kelly (1911-40). Moran had convened three plenary councils in 1885, 1895 and 1905, been Australia’s most powerful Catholic prelate, and for 27 years had functioned as the Holy See’s de facto apostolic delegate for Australia and New Zealand.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 438 November 2020 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 438 November 2020 Papal Honour for member of the Order of Malta, Greg Crafter AO Pope Francis has appointed Greg Crafter AO as a Knight of the Order of St Gregory the Great. Announcing the awards, Adelaide Archbishop Patrick O’Regan said the Order of St Gregory the Great was one of the highest awards for lay people, bestowed on Catholic men and women deemed to have made a significant contribution to the Catholic Church. A lawyer before entering State Parliament, Mr Crafter served as the Member for Norwood for 14 years, seven as Education Minister. Since becoming involved with the Young Christian Workers movement as a young man, he has continued his active involvement in the local parish and the Adelaide Archdiocese, including chair of the Clergy Care Council, chair of the Diocesan Finance Council and as a member of the Order of Malta. At a national level, Mr Crafter served as chair of the National Catholic Education Commission for seven years during a period of complex political engagement with the Federal Government which led to long-term funding benefits for Catholic schools across Australia. He was a director of the Little Company of Mary, which runs Calvary Health Care across Australia, for nine years, and has been heavily involved in fundraising for the Mary Potter Hospice in Adelaide. In 2015 Mr Crafter was appointed by the Bishops Conference to the Truth, Justice and Healing Council which was established by the Australian bishops to liaise with the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse.
