  • 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.

Kuropas on the Displaced Persons Act – page 9 HEPublished U by theKRAINIAN Ukrainian National Association Inc., a fraternal non-profit associationEEKLY T W Vol. LXXIX No. 48 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 $1/$2 in Ukraine Thousands remember Holodomor at service in St. Patrick’s Cathedral by Felix Khmelkovsky Special to The Ukrainian Weekly NEW YORK – A special requiem service was held on Saturday, November 19, here in St. Patrick’s Cathedral as thousands of Ukrainians gathered together to pray for the millions of their compatriots killed by the Soviet Communist regime in 1932-1933. They came from various parts of the United States – New Jersey, New York, Michigan and even California – to remem­ ber the victims of the Holodomor, the Famine-Genocide ordered by Stalin. Almost every second Ukrainian family suffered as a result of the Famine, which today is largely accepted as genocide directed against the Ukrainian people. The church service began with the placing of symbolic candles and stalks of wheat by children of the Ukrainian American Youth Association (UAYA) and students of local schools of Ukrainian studies, all attired in embroidered shirts and blouses. Concelebrating the requiem for the victims of the Holodomor on its 78th anniversary were hierarchs and clergy of the Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox Lev Khmelkovsky Churches, most notably Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the Hierarchs who led the requiem service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (from left): Bishop Daniel, Archbishop-Metropolitan recently elected leader of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Stefan Soroka, Patriarch Sviatoslav, Archbishop Antony, Bishop Paul Chomnycky and Bishop Basil Losten.
