  • 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.

  • Professor Zlatko Skrbiš Formally Installed As ACU Vice-Chancellor and President
    MEDIA RELEASE 27/03/21 Professor Zlatko Skrbiš formally installed as ACU Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Zlatko Skrbiš was installed as Australian Catholic University’s fourth Vice-Chancellor and President at an installation Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney on Friday 26 March. Most Rev Mark Coleridge, President of ACU Corporation, President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, and Archbishop of Brisbane, was the principal celebrant, and Most Rev Anthony Fisher OP, Archbishop of Sydney delivered the homily. A performance of a Slovenian folk song ‘Zarja’ (‘Dawn’) preceded the ceremony. Due to COVID restrictions, members of Professor Skrbiš’s family were unable to travel from Slovenia to attend the Mass; they recorded the musical performance as a gift to him. Professor Skrbis pledged his commitment to leading the university as an ethical, enterprising organisation that would have an impact both within and across the communities in which it inhabits. “To be successful as a Vice-Chancellor in any university, you have to be good at all of the things you would expect of any Vice-Chancellor: prioritising the needs of our students, ethical leadership, commitment to research, effective administration, and the pursuit of excellence in all of our intellectual endeavours. “However, to be successful as a Vice-Chancellor at a Catholic university, you need to do all of that and also be very good at leading it in its Catholic endeavours. This is because a Catholic university is, by definition, part of the Church. Whilst having its own governance structures, it is genuinely part of the wider ecclesial mission of the Church in Australia and 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.

  • At the End of the Final Mass Pope Benedict Commissioned Our Young
    INTERNATIONAL GATHERING OF WYD ORGANISERS FROM SYDNEY 2008 TO MADRID 2011 Rome, 3-5 April 2009 WYD 2008: pastoral impact in Australia Bishop Anthony Fisher Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney Coordinator of WYD 2008 Sydney At the end of the Final Mass Pope Benedict commissioned our young people to take the Holy Spirit out from the biggest gathering in our nation’s history and renew the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit - Australia. What pastoral effect has WYD had on our country? Lots of people are doing research on the pastoral impacts of WYD. This will be useful for our pastoral follow-up and for future hosts. As part of a research project called “Pilgrims’ Progress 2008” university researchers interviewed thousands of pilgrims before, during and after WYD. I will provide a summary report on that research today. I also contacted all the bishops of Australian and NZ to ask for their impressions. (The respondents are English speaking. 75% of the respondents were under 36 years of age, and a third of these were still at school. Over 60% resided in Australia or New Zealand; the next largest group were from USA and Canada (almost 20%); over 10% were from South and South East Asia, and about 8% from the UK, Ireland and a few countries of Europe. Only 15% had been to a previous World Youth Day.) The researchers found that “Participants rated the experience of attending WYD very highly: seven out of ten considered it ‘one of the best experiences of my life’ or even ‘a life-changing event’.” What pilgrims said they found most spiritually helpful was the experience of the Church: sensing that God was present in this large gathering of people, sharing and celebrating the same faith, transcending them in space and time, joining them with others and with God.
