  • Former President of Australian Bishops’ Conference Dies
    Former president of Australian bishops’ conference dies unexpectedly ADELAIDE, Australia (CNS) — Retired Archbishop Philip Wilson, former president of the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference who served as archbishop of Adelaide for 17 years, died Jan. 17. He was 70. The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference said that while the archbishop had suffered a series of health problems in recent years, including cancer, his death “was unexpected.” Adelaide Archbishop Patrick O’Regan noted that while his predecessor had been charged with failing to respond adequately to allegations of child sexual abuse while a priest, he was acquitted of all charges. “A harrowing period of allegations, charges, conviction and eventually acquittal was a significant chapter on Philip’s life, but his record of supporting and advocating on behalf of victims and survivors is part of his legacy,” Archbishop O’Regan said. “Philip knew what pain many people had endured and suffered as a result of the sickening actions of some within the church. He was part of the solution, and widely recognized as such.” In July 2018, Archbishop Wilson resigned as archbishop of Adelaide Archdiocese after being convicted of failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse by a priest in the 1970s. Although he maintained his innocence and appealed the ruling, Archbishop Wilson said at the time that “there is just too much pain and distress being caused by my maintaining the office of archbishop of Adelaide, especially to the victims of Father (James) Fletcher.” In December 2018, an appeals court overturned his conviction. He served as bishop of Wollongong from 1996 to 2001, and, after his death Wollongong Bishop Brian Mascord asked for prayers “for Philip, the Wilson family and the Archdiocese of Adelaide at this very sad time.” Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher recalled Archbishop Wilson’s “paternal” care of the other bishops when he was president of the bishops’ conference.

CONCEPTUALIZING IS ARCHETYPES THROUGH HISTORY: A STUDY OF THE ROMAN CURIA Social, Behavioral and Organizational Aspects of Information Systems François-Xavier de Vaujany ISEAG Jean Monnet University [email protected] Abstract Many typologies of I.S. archetypes exist in the current literature. But very few rely on long term past perspectives, which could result in a precious opportunity to suggest innovative configurations related to specific institutional environments. On the other hand, historiography is a subject of growing interest in IS. Nonetheless, if many studies have already been carried out on the history of the technology or computer industries, very few have dealt with organizational IS history. This is regrettable, as it would give researchers a unique opportunity to understand long term IS dynamics and to grasp historical IS archetypes. Here, the author outlines a history of the IS of one of the oldest organizations in the world: the Roman Curia (the headquarters of the Catholic Church located within the Vatican).

  • How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law
    CARDINAL SINS: HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS CHANGED PRIVATE LAW MAYO MORAN* ABSTRACT For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars, and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way, it has also helped to transform the all- important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few survivors who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities also helped to shield the Church. Private law itself was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change within private law, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself. Yet the Church had traditionally bene®ted from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary, self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach to covering up abuse began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE 36th MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION Friday, 13 April 1984 Monsieur le Président de l’Union Européenne de Radiodiffusion, Monsieur le Président de la Commission technique, Mesdames et Messieurs, 1. Le 3 avril 1981, peu avant Pâques, j’accueillais ici même la Commission des Programmes radiophoniques de votre Union. Aujourd’hui, trois ans après et en coïncidence avec la même célébration liturgique, la joie m’est donnée de rencontrer les membres de l’Union à son plus haut niveau, au terme des travaux de la Commission technique qui se sont déroulés, sur l’invitation de RadioVatican, à l’intérieur de cette Cité. Soyez les bienvenus, et permettez-moi de saluer en particulier Monsieur Albert Scharf et Monsieur Carlo Terzani. Je les remercie des paroles qu’ils m’ont adressées au nom de tous les participants. Paroles imprégnées de la vive conscience des responsabilités qui vous incombent. Précisément, l’Eglise “experte en humanité”, selon l’heureuse expression de mon prédécesseur Paul VI, et tout à fait persuadée de l’importance de vos activités, ne peut être à votre égard que respectueuse et exigeante. Et que Dieu, Père de tout bien, vous donne d’exercer votre pouvoir considérable avec une conscience qui vous porte sans cesse à chercher le service authentique de l’humanité! La qualification et la finalité de votre Union me sont bien connues. Je pense à votre souci d’étendre le champ de la radiodiffusion, d’échanger des programmes (sur ce point l’Eurovision est l’exemple le plus notoire), de coordonner les études relatives à ce grand moyen de communication, de soutenir également ceux qui sont chargés de mission dans tous ces domaines de la radiodiffusion.

  • POLITICS--The Science of the Possible
    BOOK 8 “. AND GULLIVER RETURNS” --In Search of Utopia-- HOW WE MANIPULATE AND ARE MANIPULATED --POLITICS--The Science of the Possible-- by Lemuel Gulliver XVI as told to Jacqueline Slow © 2010 ISBN 978-0-9823076-0-1 Dear friends—Obviously I wrote this series to be read from Book 1 to the end, but silly me! Readers often begin with what sounds interesting to them. This may leave them unaware of the characters, my friends and I. So let me introduce us. We were boyhood friends, as wild and as close as geese heading south for the winter. But our university educations split us philosophically like a drop of Quicksilver hitting the floor. But like those balls of mercury, when brought together, they again become one. As have we. Ray became a Catholic priest and moved far to the right of where our teenage liberalism had bound us. Ray calls himself a neo-conservative. We think he is a reactionary. Lee slid to the left of our adolescent leanings, and somewhere along the line became an atheist. Lee is a lawyer. Concannon, Con for short, retired from his very successful business. I guess his business experience moved him a bit to the right, to conservatism—a conservative just to the right of the middle. Then there’s me. I think I’m pretty much a middle of the roader—except for my passion to save our planet by reducing our population before global warming, massive poverty and far-reaching famines decimate our humanity. Hope this introduction makes our discussions make a bit more sense.

  • A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See
    A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See The historical documentation generated by the Holy See over the course of its history constitutes one of the most important sources for research on the history of Christianity, the history of the evolution of the modern state, the history of Western culture and institutions, the history of exploration and colonization, and much more. Though important, it has been difficult to grasp the extent of this documentation. This guide represents the first attempt to describe in a single work the totality of historical documentation that might properly be considered Vatican archives. Although there are Vatican archival records in a number of repositories that have been included in this publication, this guide is designed primarily to provide useful information to English-speaking scholars who have an interest in using that portion of the papal archives housed in the Vatican Archives or Archivio Segreto Vaticano (ASV). As explained more fully below, it the result of a project conducted by archivists and historians affiliated with the University of Michigan. The project, initiated at the request of the prefect of the ASV, focused on using modem computer database technology to present information in a standardized format on surviving documentation generated by the Holy See. This documentation is housed principally in the ASV but is also found in a variety of other repositories. This guide is, in essence, the final report of the results of this project. What follows is a complete printout of the database that was constructed. The database structure used in compiling the information was predicated on principles that form the basis for the organization of the archives of most modem state bureaucracies (e.g., provenance).
