  • Green Light Signals Quest for Auxiliary
    Lord, Let Glasgow Flourish by the preaching of Thy Word and the praising of Thy Name JULY 2015 JOURNAL OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF GLASGOW 70p Joie de vivre! A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass. The theme ‘Rejoice’ reflected the Gospel passage of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth – whose child in her womb leapt for joy. The Archbishop spoke of the gifts of life and love and the great joy which the births of John the Baptist and Jesus brought to the world. He encouraged the young people to rejoice and reflect that joy in caring for others and looking after the world. Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty joined in the celebrations.

Schools had to close for 5 months. During that time, teaching and learning was carried out remotely and supervised in person by parents and carers rather than by teachers. For more senior pupils and their teachers, there was the worry of the SQA examinations. I do hope your pupils were awarded the grades they deserved. Coming back to school, too, has been a significant epidemiological, educational and socio- political issue. Should schools re-open or not? Should they re-open partially or fully? How vulnerable are children and young people to the virus? How much could they spread it without knowing? How vulnerable are teachers and other school staff? What measures needed to be put in place in our schools to make them safe or at least to minimise risk? What will teaching and learning be like in these circumstances? These, and more, are questions that have been aired and debated ad infinitum over the summer weeks. I appreciate very much how these issues have impacted on the personal and professional well-being of teachers. I applaud the commitment of all teachers to their profession and to the children and young people that they educate so carefully and well.

  • Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell
    Diocesan Centre Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell ML1 1PP Tribute to Archbishop Philip Tartaglia RIP On behalf of everyone in the Diocese of Motherwell, I express our shock and sadness on the sudden death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia. We offer the support of our prayers to his family and the community of the Archdiocese of Glasgow, and join with them in commending his soul to the tender mercy of our Loving Father through the saving power of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the years I have shared with him in the episcopal ministry, I have heard him repeatedly express his steadfast belief in Christ and the need for Him to be at the heart of all we say and do in the Church, his Body. His faith was straight-forward and re-assuring, and from that came the wise counsel which he offered in the deliberations about, and the decisions taken, in so many areas of the Church’s Mission in Glasgow Archdiocese and in the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland. As his brother bishops, we will miss him greatly, and that sense of loss is shared with so many others. It is good to remember with gratitude his priestly minister before he became a Bishop, in the parishes he served in and in the seminaries he taught and was the rector in. Those who attended his classes remember him as a gifted lecturer, and in later years he looked back with some nostalgia to these times of theological investigation and teaching as a time of much fulfilment and contentment.

The lockdown Bishops visiting East Jerusalem prevented me from going there in January with the Holy I Land Coordination pilgrimage. This is a pilgrimage like no other. When the dozen or more bishops of the Coordination have their annual trip to the Holy Land it is not your usual pilgrimage. We are not there to visit the sites or the sacred shrines, we are not there to trace the footsteps of Jesus, we are not there to see ancient churches, we are there to see people. It is the Christian people and not the holy places that we go to visit. And that means we go to places the normal pilgrim would never visit, such as Gaza. It takes a bit of determination to get What is uplifting though is that we meet so many good to Gaza. There are a lot people.

  • Father Morrow Vs. the Catholic Bishops of Britain in 1993
    AOne Just Man Found in Gomorrah@: Father Morrow vs. the Catholic Bishops of Britain in 1993 Anne Barbeau Gardiner ABSTRACT: In 1993, a Scottish priest named James Morrow made several attempts to stop the young comatose patient Tony Bland from being put to death by dehydration. The Bland case was the first instance of legalized euthanasia in Britain. Although Father Morrow was following the teaching of the Catholic Church in peacefully resisting this injustice, he was publicly rebuked by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Britain. He was put down not only for his actions on behalf of Bland, but also for his previous non-violent Rescues at abortion clinics. The disparagement of Father Morrow in 1993 goes a long way to explain why the Catholic resistance to the Culture of Death in Britain has been so ineffectual. THIS IS THE STORY of one man=s struggle against the culture of death in Britain in 1993. Between the Abortion Act of 1967 and the Bland Decision of 1993, which first made euthanasia legal, something like four million abortions took place in Britain, 85% of them on the specious ground that there was a risk to the woman=s Aphysical and mental health.@1 By then the number of abortions every six years totaled twice the number of British casualties in WWII.2 Next, the culture of death launched a new offensive in 1993 when the House of Lords ruled that a young comatose patient who was breathing on his own could be starved and dehydrated to death. The Bland decision parallels the recent 1 Anonymous, AThe Meaning of Life,@ Sunday Comment, The Sunday Telegraph (April 4, 1993), p.

During the last few years there has undoubtedly been more concern shown by congregations and dioceses in their history and in preserving the archives and other historical evidences recording it. Clear indications of this concern are the realisation that the original vocation of a religious congregation, the renewal of which is urged by Vatican II, is recorded principally in its archives, the provisions for the care of archives in rules and constitutions of congregations and in the new code of canon law, the encouragement given to archivists by the Conferences of Major Religious Super- iors in both countries, and new appointments of archivists in several dioceses within recent years.
