  • Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse: Case Study 50
    Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse: Case Study 50 7 February 2017 The second day of the Royal Commission’s Catholic “wrap up” hearing was held today in Sydney. The Commission today heard from Father Thomas Doyle OP, a US Priest with significant experience in the Church’s handling of child sexual abuse, Dr Michelle Mulvihill, psychologist and former Sister of Mercy, Professor Neil James Ormerod, Professor of Theology at ACU and Father Francis Maloney SDB, Senior Professorial Fellow at College of Divinity, Victoria. Testimony of Father Thomas Doyle OP Background Father Doyle spoke about his studies and his work as a staff canon lawyer within the Papal Nuncio’s office in Washington DC, including his role in assisting the selection of Bishops. Father Doyle went into some detail about his first encounter with child sexual abuse and its cover up. He spoke of local police contacting the office in 1982 to say that a retired Bishop had been caught with a couple of teenage boys, but they would cover it up. He went on to reoffend. He also said that they were contacted by another man who said that a Priest rumoured to be a nominee for Bishop had abused his wife’s nephew, and so the nomination was withdrawn. He explained that the issue came to a head in the mid 1980s, when the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana informed them that they had entered into confidential settlements with a number of families, and that another was planning to sue the Diocese. Father Doyle wrote a report for the Pope, and a Bishop was appointed to investigate the matter, but Father Doyle said the Bishop was only interested in avoiding the scandal.

  • Half-Drowned Or Half-Baked – Essays in the History of North Fitzroy
    HALF-DROWNED OR HALF-BAKED ESSAYS IN THE HISTORY OF NORTH FITZROY 3 December 2017 cover illustration Rudolf Jenny’s etching is looking south from Queens Parade in about 1870. The swamp in the foreground was rehabilitated by the Reilly Street Drain, and the Gasometer Hotel (still standing) identifies its proximity to the Gas Works in North Fitzroy.

The title comes from The Chronicles of early Melbourne by ‘Garryowen’ [Edmund Finn], published in 1888, and refers to the area north of the Reilly Street drain. These essays relate to that area. North Fitzroy has not had the same attention from historians as the southern part of the suburb, though less than twenty years separate the two areas, and it is older than most other suburbs of Melbourne. It is hoped that this publication will encourage research on other topics relating to North Fitzroy.

    A speech delivered by Mr Gary Lockwood – (President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History Adelaide Branch) at a meeting of the Florey Sub Branch of the ALP on Monday 21 st February 2011. Ladies and Gentleman fellow members of the ALP ...Comrades Thank you your introduction and I must say I am very proud to be the President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (Adelaide Branch) and I would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to tell you more about a very fine Labour Organisation/History Organisation – how important it is, and what it does. But contemporary political times, has led me to take on another subject. In November 2010 I attended the Annual General Meeting at Sydney University of what is quite an academically orientated organisation – it is the peak history recording body of its type in Australia – highly held on an International base and historians long to have their works published in ‘Labour History’ – a publication that is produced twice yearly and this year on the organisation 50 th Anniversary...issue number 100 will be released. But it is about issue number 99 that I want to talk to you about ...because I have chosen an article in this issue to highlight the subject matter that I hope will be of interest to you all. I was at the Annual General Meeting of Labour History at Sydney University and just before the meeting commenced this ‘freshly off the press’ edition of Labour History arrived – someone handed me a copy and said ‘Oh Gary – you might just as well have your SA copy – it will save postage’ – I took it and sat down.

  • Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic Bishops From
    Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic bishops from across the nation have begun arriving in Adelaide for tomorrow's tribute to Adelaide's Archbishop Leonard Faulkner. Twenty four bishops and 109 priests from all corners of Australia will celebrate a golden anniversary for Archbishop Faulkner in St Francis Xavier's Cathedral at 10:30am. The Mass will celebrate a significant milestone in the life of Adelaide's Catholic community - the 50th anniversary of Archbishop Faulkner's ordination as a priest in Rome on January 1, 1950. The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Francesco Canalini, who is the Vatican's official representative in Australia, will concelebrate the Mass with the Australian bishops, including the Archbishop of Melbourne, Perth and Canberra/Goulburn. Bishop Eugene Hurley, Bishop of Port Pirie, and many priests from his diocese, will also attend. In an act which represents the continuity and harmony of the leadership of the Adelaide church, the homily will be delivered by Archbishop James Gleeson, Emeritus Archbishop of Adelaide - who retired from his active leadership role when Archbishop Faulkner was appointed Archbishop of Adelaide in 1985. A full list of bishops attending is below. As always, members of the public are welcome to attend the Mass, irrespective of religious belief. Media attendance at the Mass is welcome, but please respect the integrity of the occasion.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.

  • The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II" Thang Vu, 2007, Written During Seminary Formation Towards the Priesthood
    "The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II" Thang Vu, 2007, written during seminary formation towards the priesthood. Part I: A Brief Survey of the Deepening Crisis in Relationships between the Catholic Church and Society during the Post-Tridentine Period Impact of the world’s events in Australia In the midst of the deepening crises in the relationship between the Church and society during the Post-Tridentine period, namely: the Scientific Revolution (1543); the Enlightenment; American and French Revolutions; Restoration; Risogimento and the Modernist crisis, it is not suggested that the Church in Australia imported or affected – without any qualifications whatsoever – the dogmas and attitudes of mind of Europe and other parts of world. Nonetheless, Roman authority, and its own inclinations, influenced the Church in Australia to take a conservative direction. In particular, spurred by conservative ultramontanism, and concerned about the threat of secularism and anti-clericalism that was largely attributed to the growth of liberalism in Europe, the Church in the 18 th and 19 th centuries opted for the establishment, and maintenance of a unified and centralised Church. Sectarianism and Ecumenism In Australia, the Church Act of 1836 sought to treat all religions equally by providing financial aid to all religions. However sectarianism, which arrived with the convicts and settlers, was never far away and when the churches refused to give up their rights to run their own religious schools, the government of the day withdrew financial funding and declared, in the 1872 Act, that education should be free, secular and compulsory .1 There has never been a state religion here and all religions have been treated equally before and after the establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, when it ceased to be a colony.
