William Bernard Ullathorne and the Foundation of Australian Catholicism 1815-1840 PAUL COLLINS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University March 1989 This Thesis is entirely my own work. ABSTRACT William Bernard Ullathorne was Vicar General of New South Wales from 1832 to 1841. While Catholics had arrived in the First Fleet in 1788, it was not until the 1830s that the church's ministerial structure was put on a permanent footing. In order to place the decade of the 1830s in context, I have outlined the early history of Catholicism in Australia and examined why Fathers Therry and Conolly failed to put down permanent roots. The thesis then goes on to argue that Ullathorne was the key person in establishing permanent ecclesiastical structures. The Catholic Church had begun in Australia in 1820 as an official convict chaplaincy. Church-state relationships were of fundamental importance. It was Ullathorne who negotiated a working relationship with the colonial government of New South Wales. The thesis argues that his success in Australia was based on his own clerical professionalism. The professional clergyman was a newly emerging species in the 19th century.

  • Sir John Eardley Eardley-Wilmot Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’S Land 1843–46
    VICTIM OF AN ‘EXTRAORDINARY CONSPIRACY’? SIR JOHN EARDLEY EARDLEY-WILMOT LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF VAN DIEMEN’S LAND 1843–46 Leonie C Mickleborough BA MA Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania July 2011 This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Leonie C Mickleborough This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in this thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of this thesis. Leonie C Mickleborough iii Abstract This study examines the career of Sir John Eardley Eardley-Wilmot MP and Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and his 1843 appointment as Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land by Secretary of State Lord Stanley, despite Stanley’s claim three months earlier, that Eardley- Wilmot was a ‘muddle brained blockhead’. This comprehensive study first re-evaluates Eardley-Wilmot’s extensive public career in Britain (which has been much neglected by Australian historians), especially his contribution to the reform of juvenile crime and the slavery controversy. Secondly, it explains his role and importance in the development of the probation system of convict management in the colony. Significantly, in 1846 Sir James Stephen admitted it was the British Government’s ‘ill- advised’ and ‘non-considered pledge’ to abandon transportation to New South Wales in 1840, and to throw the ‘whole current’ of convicts into Van Diemen’s Land, which caused the colony’s constitutional crises in which private members of the Legislative Council expressed their hostility and obstructed financial measures.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction On 30 December 1846, the Launceston Examiner informed its readers of “A New Invention.” According to the paper: An ingenious writer in the London Athenaeum (we suppose a graduate in “prison discipline”) has propounded a series of moveable panopticons, which are to contain only six men, and are to be advanced from place to place, as the labourers on the roads advance. An overseers “berth” composes the centre compartment, supervising by a simple construction of six subdivisions in which the men are to sleep, as completely separated as if they were in distinct dwellings, while not a breath can be uttered that must not be heard by the overseer. It is also part of this plan, that when the whole gang is mustered at night, its superintendent or chief officer, keeping a sort of sleeping rolster [sic] roll sends the men to their respective panopticons, never sending to successive nights the same six men together. Thus supposing that the road gang consisted of fifty men, those acquainted with the common arithmetic doctrine of permutation, well know that in the course of usual sentences on the roads, the same can never, if the rolster is properly regulated, come together again.1 Throughout 1846 the Launceston Examiner had loudly and repeatedly denounced the existence of ‘unnatural crime’ among the male prisoners in the colony. Today we might marvel at the meticulous ordered detail of the ‘new invention.’ The moving panopticon embodied in microcosm the innovative techniques of contemporary penal discipline: the surveillance of sleeping spaces, the separation of bodies, the imposition of silence.

  • 1844 First Australian Provincial Council
    First Australian Provincial Council, 10-12 September 1844 This is the first of several articles examining the seven previous particular councils held in Australia between 1844 and 1937. An understanding of these councils may help to prepare for the 5th Australian Plenary Council to be held in 2020. Convening the 1844 Provincial Council On 3 September 1844, on the occasion of the consecration of Francis Murphy as first Bishop of Adelaide, Archbishop John Bede Polding OSB, Metropolitan of the new Province of Sydney, convoked the First Provincial Council of Australia. It would be celebrated at St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney, on 10-12 September 1844, when all three bishops and most of the priests of the Province would be present. The aims of the Council were to have unity among the bishops, uniformity of ecclesiastical policy and discipline across the whole mission, worthy Eucharistic and sacramental liturgies, clear guidance to priests on living blameless lives, an effective catechesis, conversion of unbelievers to the Catholic faith, and the correction of abuses. Particular Councils in 19th century mission territories In English-speaking countries then designated as “mission territories” by the Apostolic See, particular councils (provincial and plenary) and diocesan synods were strongly encouraged by the Pope and the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’) charged with directing missionary activity throughout the world. Before 1900, the Catholic Church in England, Wales and Scotland held 5 provincial councils, Ireland held 7 provincial and 2 plenary councils, Canada held 11 provincial councils, the United States of America held 31 provincial and 3 plenary councils, and Australia held 2 provincial and 2 plenary councils, as well as at least 61 diocesan synods.

  • DOWNSIDE ABBEY Records, 1819-69 Reels M995-99
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT DOWNSIDE ABBEY Records, 1819-69 Reels M995-99 Downside Abbey Stratton-on-the Fosse Bath, Somerset BA3 4RJ National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1978 HISTORICAL NOTE The monastery of St Gregory the Great was founded at Douai in Flanders in 1605 by a group of English monks who had taken vows in the Spanish Benedictine Congregation. The monastery was built in 1611. From the early years a school was attached to the monastery for the sons of English Catholic gentry. Douai was ceded by Spain to France in 1668. On the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 the monastery was disbanded and the monks were imprisoned. They were subsequently released and in 1795 were allowed to move to England. A former pupil at the monastery lent the monks his country house at Acton Burnell in Shropshire, where they lived for nearly twenty years. In 1814 they purchased 66 acres of land and the manor house of Downside in Somerset, a few miles from Bath. The monastery and school have remained there ever since. In the nineteenth century Downside was a priory. The monks were originally housed in the manor house, but a new building incorporating a chapel was built in 1823 and a school block was added in 1853. Another block was built in 1876, with a refectory, kitchens, dormitory and cloisters. Building of the priory church began in 1873 and it was finally consecrated in 1935. A small monastic school was attached to the priory in the early nineteenth century.

  • Jean Baptiste Francois Pompallier, Thomas Arnold and Julian Edmund
    JEAN BAPTISTE FRANCOIS POMPALLIER, THOMAS ARNOLD AND JULIAN EDMUND TENISON WOODS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLING IN AUSTRALASIA MEGAN E. PARRY Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) Division of Research and Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Submitted in full requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Abstract Histories of Catholic education have received little attention by Church historians and are usually written by members of the Catholic clergy, with a strong emphasis placed on the spiritual and building accomplishments of the bishops. This thesis examines the provision of Catholic Education in Australasia, with a focus on the contribution of three men, Jean Baptiste Francois Pompallier, Thomas Arnold and Julian Edmund Tenison Woods. These men received support from the female religious orders in the regions where they worked, frequently with little recognition or praise by Catholic Church authorities. The tenets of their faith gave Pompallier and Woods strength and reinforced their determination to succeed. Arnold, however, possessed a strong desire to change society. All three believed in the desirability of providing Catholic schooling for the poor, with the curriculum facilitating the acquisition of socially desirable values and traits, including obedience, honesty, moral respectability and a strong adherence to Catholic religious values. The beneficiaries included society, future employers, the Church, the children and their parents. With the exception of promoting

  • Australia and New Zealand
    Australia and New Zealand Interview with Fr. Fullerton History of the Church in Australia William Bernard Ullathorne Kiwi Catholicism March - April 2021 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.—Ps. 103:31-35 Aoraki-Mt Cook, New Zealand’s tallest mountain. Letter from the Publisher Dear Reader, It was a good surprise for me to see that The Angelus is dedicating much of this issue to the field of apostolate which fell onto me for eight happy years. It is also my pleasure to contribute to it with a short interview printed alongside other prominent articles. The down under conti- nent of Oceania—sometimes called Australasia as it comprises New Zealand too—is as vast as our United States, and yet, it is also vastly unknown to us. The discovery of these lands came rather late among the world powers, mostly the Dutch, French, and English, who were vying to take over the Virgin Islands. Cooke, who finally settled Australia for the British Empire, unfortunately turned it into a penal colony. The high contingent of Catholics on the island was composed largely of Irish prisoners of common crimes, but it gradually included educated political prisoners as well as honest men guilty of the “crime of theft” fueled by starvation.
