C a T H O L I C I N S T I T U T E O F S Y D N 23/17 From the President: Over the past year I imagine that everyone has had many trips to the library. There was research to be done for assignments, or references to check, or bibliographies to finalise. No place of higher education could function without good library facilities. We at CIS are very fortunate to have an excellent library. A library collection is built up over time. The Veech collection goes back to the days when John Bede Polding was archbishop of Sydney. It has continued to grow ever since. Not only did Polding establish a collection for students that included material necessary for priestly studies, but it was also a monastic collection, meant for research and scholarship. To this day the library contains a few thousand books that are classed as rare or old. These are seventeenth century or older. In the last fifty years there has been an explosion in publishing. New printing techniques and the advent of the paperback made books much more accessible. More recently, electronic dissemination is changing the way we access and read published material. Whereas once the only way to access the library collection was to sit in the library to read what was there, or perhaps borrow the book if the library was a lending library, today we can access parts of the library collection from wherever there is an internet collection. Automation has made it easier to discover and retrieve material, especially if it is published in a relatively unknown source. I guess most of us these days access some of the Veech collection from home. One of the joys of searching for material is stumbling upon information that is just what we need, but which we weren’t directly looking for. Personally, I find browsing the shelves in the library a very useful thing to do. It is amazing what you can come across. So, when you go to find a book, take some time to see what is on the shelves around it. The Veech Library has various collections that are of a more specialised kind. In the course of writing assignments most people do not need to access these collections, which are mainly used by researchers. Let me mention just a couple of these. As well as the old and rare book collection that I have already mentioned, there is the Australian Catholic Documentation collection. This collection has material that relates to the history of Catholicism in Australia, but with an emphasis on the lives of ordinary Catholics and local parishes. The Church Music Collection is another unique collection. It has music that has been used in Catholic liturgy in Australia. Anyone looking at this collection as a whole would get a good sense of how Catholics in Australia have worshipped over two centuries. I hope you have been able to make the most of the marvellous resources of the Veech Library over this past year. As the year draws to a close, let’s thank the library staff for the work they do in the library. This involves not just selecting new works to add to the various collections; not just cataloguing books; and not just keeping the library in good working order so that we can all access the materials, whether they be print or electronic. It also involves the assistance they give to each of us individually when we need help or a looking for something specific. So, take time to thank them at the end of the year.

According to sources he led an adventurous life, and spent time in out of the way colonial outposts. He composed music seemingly of substance, and for ensembles normally associated with higher class music, yet despite this, we have only one work surviving by this active musician and prolific composer. Much of his life and professional activity has been thoroughly explored in Graeme Skinner’s important thesis on early Australian composition.1 More is found in his website of Australian composers, and the accompanying chronology of Australian composition.2 Both sources are important documents.3 The birth date of Joseph Gautrot is unknown, but there are various mentions of his early life and career in an obituary in Bell’s Life of 4 February 1854.4 In the obituary he was cited as being a member of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, probably as a musician, and was present during the Russian Campaign of 1812.

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome.

  • Session 8: Commitment
    SESSION Commitment SESSION 8: COMMITMENT Extract from Catching Fire It is one thing to know what we are about. It is another to be committed to that with passion and conviction. Commitment gives life to the purpose we have. It is the lived out witness to the vision we carry, and the tangible expression of the deep faith we have. The way we express our commitment is as unique as we are. But it will be nurtured in us all by a personal prayer life, and characterized by engagement with the world that is respectful, empowering and hopeful. 1. Article: The Australian Religious Landscape through Catholic Eyes, on the Eve of World Youth Day 2008 by Fr. Frank Brennan (Published as “Ein Weltjugendtag an gottlosem Ort? – Die kirchliche und religiose Landschaft Australiens” Herder Korrspondenz July 2008, pp. 345-9 (German abstract here)) James Denney, a nineteenth century Scottish Presbyterian theologian, described Australia as “the most godless place under heaven”. The label is often taken as the starting point for discussing the religious sensibility of Australians who live in a markedly secular, materialistic society founded upon the dispossession of the Aborigines who had inhabited the land for up to 60,000 years. The British were the first Europeans to establish a permanent settlement on Australian soil. They erected a penal colony at Sydney Cove, asserting sovereignty in the name of the British Crown on 26 January 1788. No treaty was negotiated with the Aborigines. No compensation was paid for the state-authorised confiscation of their lands. It took until 1992 for the Australian courts to recognise that Aborigines had rights to land which survived the assertion of British sovereignty.

    DOWNSIDE REVIEW. JULY, 1881. MEMOIRS OF DISTINGUISHED GREGORIANS. No. n.-THE MOST REVEREND .JOHN BEllE POLDING, D.D., O.S.B., FIRST ARCHBISHOP OF SYDNEY. ((Jontinued from page 175.) THE zeal and earnestness of Dr. Polding very soon secured for him considerable influence with the Colonial authorities. It was impossible not to admire such single-minded devotion to duty and the work of saving souls, and the Government and its officials were not slow to offer their co-operation in all that tended to the amelioration of the people. He built churches wherever they were needed, founded schools and obtained Government support for an orphanage for destitute Catholic children, which he placed under the care of some devoted nuns. It is astonishing how rapidly he was able to raise the Catholic population from their depression. One of his first efforts was to establish a newspaper, in which he taught them to assert their civil rights, and to maintain their position worthily and with confidence among their fellow men. Several measures hostile to Catholics, which had been inspired by the old traditions of the then strong party, and even some which were oppressive to the people in general, were defeated when brought into the old Legislative Council through the influ­ ence Dr. Polding exercised over public opinion.

  • My Lord Bishop, Reverend Fathers, Fellow Religious, Brothers And
    “A glorious future for the infant diocese of Armidale”: The emerging Church in New England Historical Oration on the 150th Anniversary of the Installation of the First Bishop Cathedral of Sts Mary & Joseph, Armidale, 9 March 2021 My Lord Bishop, Reverend Fathers, fellow religious, brothers and sisters in Christ: it is a great honour to take part in your sesquicentenary celebrations and let me say that I think you are all looking very good for 150-year-olds! 1. Before Armidale was… Fr Therry 32 years they had waited for a priest. Sure, a convict priest (Fr James Dixon) had been permitted to celebrate Mass for ten months in 1803;1 a renegade priest (Fr Jeremiah O’Flynn) conducted a semi-public ministry for six months in 1818;2 and other convict priests and passing ships’ chaplains engaged in clandestine ministry from time to time. But it was only with the arrival of Frs Philip Conolly3 and John Joseph Therry4 in 1820, as official Catholic chaplains to the colony, that the Catholics of Australia were guaranteed the sacraments and pastoral leadership going forward.5 The faith and pastoral achievements of Fr Therry and the other clergy who came after him were remarkable. But many of them were also what we used to call ‘characters’. When Australia’s first Dominican, Christopher Dowling OP, arrived in 1831 to take over as official chaplain, Therry locked him out of the presbytery. On one occasion Therry dragged Dowling from the sanctuary before coming to his senses and apologizing. On another there was a public tug-o-war over the collection box! It was also alleged he had three heavies beat Dowling up in front of St Mary’s and steal his hat and watch! The meek Dominican then retreated to the relative safety of Western Sydney.

  • Good Samaritans Yesterday
    Good Samaritans Yesterday Our Founders John Bede Polding was born in Liverpool, England in 1794. Both of his parents had died by the time he was nine years old. He was taken into the care of his uncle, a Benedictine monk, who arranged his education with the Benedictine nuns in Liverpool, and then at St Gregory’s in Shropshire. He entered Downside Abbey and was ordained in 1819. Polding had various roles while at Downside, and was a great loss to his community when he was made Bishop of New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land. Arriving in Sydney in 1835, Polding quickly showed his compassion, especially for convicts, indigenous people and destitute women. He became known as a pastoral leader, who rode thousands of miles on horseback to visit Catholic families across Australia, and was often away from Sydney for months at a time. In 1839 the Weekly Orthodox Journal quoted a letter from Sydney: His labours are incessant, his zeal unbounded. Protestants as well as Catholics revere him as a saint. John Bede Polding retired in January, 1874 and died on March 16, 1877. His funeral was attended by over 100,000 people. Fr Sheehy OSB who had known Polding for most of his life wrote at the time: His life was full of energy and movement and an all-embracing love. His last years were full of mercy, compassion and a most divine tenderness. What helped him to do this was the fact that he genuinely loved Australia and her people, and was determined from his earliest days in 1 the colony to be an Australian himself.

  • The Downside Review." for Many Years, However, Before Dr
    91 MEMOIRS OF DISTINGUISHED GREGORIANS. No. H.-THE MOST REVEREND JOHN BEDE POLDING, D.D., O.S.B., FIRST ARCHBISHOP or SYDNEY. THRRE are few names inscribed o~ the roll of students at St. Gregory's more illuStrious than that of Polding. Though almost half a century has passed since he left Downside to labour in founding the Church of Australia, his name is still revered there, and his memory still held in honour by the present generation of Gregorians. We feel sure that a short account of the life of this venerable prelate will be of considerable interest to many of our readers. John Polding was born at Liverpool on the 18th of October, 1794. His father was of German extraction, the original name of the family being" Polten." His mother was a sister of the Very Reverend Father Bede Brewer, President General of the EnglishBenedictine Congregation. Both were excellent Catholics, and till their death, which took place when their son was still very young, they spared no pains to instill into the child's mind a love and reverence for holy things. The death of both his parents consigned the boy to the care of Dr. Brewer. At the age of eleven, in the year 1805, the President sent his nephew to study under the Benedictines of St. Gregory's, then sheltered by the Smythe family at Acton Burnell, near Shrewsbury. Father Sha.rrock was prior at the time when John Polding first came to school; and Father Kendal, who succeeded him in that office in 1808, was the prefect and missioner.

  • Murray the Man. to All Intents and Purposes James
    21 Chapter Two 'I felt encouraged and consoled beyond measure'1: Murray the Man. To all intents and purposes James Murray was an only child. His origins lay in Co. Wicklow on Ireland's east coast directly to the south of Dublin. Named after its principal town, the county stretches 40 miles north to south and 33 miles from east to west. It has three distinct regions: the low lying strip along the east coast, the mountains and valleys of the centre and west and the southern less mountainous area. The largest topographical area in the county is the central western region of mountains, rivers, lakes and valleys. The rugged beauty of these uplands and the contrasting lowlands have contributed to Wicklow's name, the 'Garden of Ireland'. The mountain range is intersected diagonally by a number of great glens most notably Glendalough, Glenmalure and the Glen of Imaal. It is in these highlands and their lakes that some of the most renowned rivers in the county rise. The Kings River joins the Liffey in the north at Blessington Lakes while in the south at the Meeting of the Waters, the Avonmore and Avonbeg form the Avoca, a place of celebrated romantic beauty. 2 When trying to describe his new home and country to friends in Ireland, Murray aptly likened the Paterson River near Maitland to the Vale of Avoca, which lay on the road between Glendalough and Arklow .3 The mountains of Wicklow have harboured men and women of vastly divergent interests. During the middle ages ascetics and hermits found spiritual fulfilment in the caves and glens of the mountains.
