  • Politics, Church and the Common Good
    Politics, Church and the Common Good Andrew Bradstock and Hilary Russell In an article published in the UK religious newspaper Church Times in 2015, the British academic and political thinker, Maurice Glasman, reflected upon the global financial crash of 2008. Suggesting that both ‘liberal economists’ and ‘state socialists’ could only understand the crisis as being ‘fundamentally about money’, with the solution being either to spend more or less of it, Glasman noted how the churches had sought to make a deeper analysis. While the ‘prevailing paradigms’ that governed our thinking about economics and politics had no capacity for recognising ‘sin’ as a contributing factor to the crisis, church leaders such as the Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury had ‘tried to insert the concept of the “good” into economic calculation’ – and in so doing had retrieved ‘some forgotten ideas, carried within the Church but rejected by secular ideologies, which turn out to have a great deal more rational force than invisible hands and spending targets.’1 By ‘forgotten ideas’ Glasman meant the core principles of Catholic Social Thought (CST), a collection of papal encyclicals spanning the last 125 years which constitute the authoritative voice of the Catholic Church on social issues. Drawing upon CST had enabled the pontiff and archbishop not only to challenge the narratives of the political Left and Right, to endorse neither state centralisation nor the centralisation of capital, but rather to highlight values such as human dignity, interdependence and care of creation. Importantly they had drawn attention to the need for markets to promote the wellbeing of all, the ‘common good’.

  • The Most Reverend Derek Worlock, C.H. Archbishop of Liverpool 1976-1996
    THE MOST REVEREND DEREK WORLOCK, C.H. ARCHBISHOP OF LIVERPOOL 1976-1996 Derek John Harford Worlock was born in London on 4th February 1920, the second son of Captain Harford Worlock and Dora Worlock. After his family moved to Winchester in 1930, he attended Winton House Preparatory School, and began his studies for the priesthood in January 1934 at St Edmund's College, Ware, in Hertfordshire, and studied later at the nearby seminary, Allen Hall. Cardinal Bernard Griffin ordained him to the priesthood on 3rd June 1944 in Westminster Cathedral, and after a brief time as an assistant priest in Our Lady of Victories, Kensington, in war-torn London, he was appointed Private Secretary to the Cardinal. He remained at Westminster, as Secretary to three successive Cardinals, for some 19 years. There followed in 1964 a short time as parish priest of St Mary and St Michael's, Stepney, with a team of five priests. Between 1962 and 1965 he attended every session of the Second Vatican Council as an expert (peritus), on the role of lay people in the Church, and as Secretary to the English and Welsh Bishops attending the Council. He was appointed Bishop of Portsmouth in 1965 shortly after the end of the Council. Whilst in Portsmouth he set about implementing the decrees of the Council, and he made his special concern the renewal of the parishes, as well as the work of developing ecumenical relationships. He oversaw the building of over thirty new churches in the Diocese. Meanwhile his work in the Church internationally continued with his appointment to the Holy See's Council for the Laity, and frequent meetings in Rome, including the meetings of the Synod of Bishops.
