    Australian Bishops; Ad Limina Apostolorum Thursday 27 June, 2019 Homily Archbishop Christopher Prowse St Peter Chanel Chapel Domus Australia, Rome Readings: Genesis 16/1-12, 15-16; Matthew 7/21-29 In this morning’s first Reading from Genesis, Abraham and his wife, Sarah, attempt to respond to a major crisis in their marriage which is still common today: that is, infertility. Without entering into the ethics of Sarah’s strategy, and taken with Abraham’s somewhat reluctant acceptance, Sarah’s Egyptian slave-girl, Hagar, is seconded to bear a child from Abraham. Once Hagar conceived, huge jealously and distaste grew in Sarah’s heart. Hagar fled. Hiding near a spring in the desert an angel of the Lord appeared to the gloomy Hagar and asked her a crucial questions: “Where have you come from…and where are you going?” In the midst of our own seemingly spiritual infertilities in Australia, we bishops too believe the Holy Spirit is asking the Church in Australia the same question, although from a totally different cultural context: “Where have you come from…and where are you going?” What is God doing to the Church in Australia? When you line up Australians with other nationalities we generally feel we are quiet a pragmatic people – a people who ask “What are you doing?”, more than “Who are you…what have you become? A “doing” more than a “being” people. This is all well and good. We have built Australia into a place with a lifestyle and standard of living that is the envy of the world.

  • 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.

  • The Holy Spirit As Legitimator of Mission in Luke-Acts by Francis
    1 Overcoming Resistance: The Holy Spirit as Legitimator of Mission in Luke-Acts by Francis Innocent Otobo BST, GradDip (Biblical Studies) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2019 2 Abstract This thesis argues that the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts functions to legitimate the mission to the nations for the Jewish followers of Jesus, whilst at the same time engaging with Greco-Roman pneumatic experiences to encourage Gentile (‘ethnic’) believers in their acceptance of the faith. This is a more unifying reading of the role of the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts than has been proffered by earlier scholars in that it also affirms previous insights into Lukan connections with the ‘Spirit of the Lord’ and prophecy in the OT, and with broader mission themes. Using a narrative approach together with careful exegesis of selected texts, I show that the Spirit is used to address the challenges of ethnic diversity in the implied audience of the Lukan communities — for both the resisting Jewish Christian reader and those from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The thesis builds on the work of many scholars who have argued for the relationship of the Spirit in Luke-Acts to missiological themes (Conzelmann, Penney, Turner, Leeper, Hur, Gibbs, Zwiep); the connection between the Spirit and prophecy (Conzelmann, Menzies, Turner) and to the OT traditions in particular (Shepherd, Hur, Stronstad); the Spirit and the Jews and Gentiles (the ethnē) (Evans, Kuecker); and the legitimating role of the Spirit in more general terms (Shepherd, Turner, Bonnah). In so doing, I argue that the presence of the Spirit at key points of the narrative in both the Lukan Gospel and Acts legitimates the mission to the ethnē in contexts where there is ongoing resistance, both for those resisting and those who are being attracted by the signs of the Spirit.

  • Concerned Catholics Canberra-Goulburn REPORT March 2017
    Concerned Catholics Canberra-Goulburn REPORT March 2017 - September 2018 Lobbying and Engagement Origins and Vision Concerned Catholics Canberra-Goulburn (CC) began in March 2017, inspired by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (RC), with the aim of responding positively to the conclusions of the RC about the cultural, structural and governance weaknesses revealed by the church’s response to child sexual abuse. CC stands for increased transparency, responsiveness, lay leadership and responsibility and gender balance within the church. CC believes that the Australian Church is at a crisis point and must be reformed. It has set out both to lobby the church hierarchy and to engage with it. Public Forums and Lobbying Our first function was held in April 2017 with presentations from Francis Sullivan, Kristina Keneally and Marilyn Hatton. Six further public functions, including tonight’s forum, have been held since then. • A social gathering at King O’Malley’s for CC supporters (June 2017) • A second public forum with Fr Peter Day, Sister Ruth Durick and Dr John Falzon as the key speakers (August 2017) • A Book launch by Donella Johnston of Kevin Peoples’ book “Trapped in a Closed World” (November 2017) • A third public forum with a presentation by Francis Sullivan in the presence of members of the Australian Catholic Coalition for Church Renewal (March 2018) • Paul Collins and Paul Bongiorno discussing Collins’ book Papal Power (July 2018) We have always attempted to advertise these public functions widely and to issue media releases which have engendered considerable public attention through the Canberra Times, Canberra Weekly and the ABC.

In a most particular way, I welcome those who have come from overseas. Clearly, in doing that I welcome Adrian Chan’s parents, extended family, and friends who have come in considerable numbers to be with us tonight. You are welcome! We have accompanied now for quite some years both Adrian and Namora and have co-discerned with them that we believe that God is indeed calling them to the great gift of the Priesthood. In sharing this important Sacrament of Holy Orders we assure them that we have been, are and will be walking with them in the many long years of their Priesthood, which, please God, they will be given to serve God’s people. As the Archbishop of the Archdiocese it is of incredible joy for me to be able to celebrate the ordination of two of my Deacons at the same time. For this Archdiocese it is quite an unusual occurrence for which we are most grateful to the Lord. After their ordination and placement in Parishes, it won’t be long before they are joining me, as two of our Priest Chaplains with the young people in this Year of Youth, to World Youth Day in Panama at the end of January in 2019.
