POPE FRANCIS’ first encyclical, Lumen Fidei (“The Light of Faith”), is a celebration of Christian faith as the guiding light of a “successful and fruitful life”, inspiring social action as well as devotion to God, and illuminating “every aspect of human existence”, including philosophy and the natural sciences. The document, released on July 5, completes a papal trilogy on the three “theological virtues” following Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclicals Deus Caritas Est (2005) on charity and Spe Salvi (2007) on hope. Publication of the encyclical was one of the most awaited events of the Year of Faith which began in October 2012. Pope Benedict “had almost completed a first draft of an encyclical on faith” before his retirement in

But if this were the case, if God could not act in the world, his love would not be truly powerful, truly real, and thus not even true, a love capable of delivering the bliss that it promises. ... Christians, on the contrary, profess their faith in God’s tangible and powerful love, which really does act in history and determines its final destiny: a love that can be encountered, a love fully revealed in Christ’s passion, death and resurrection.”

Francis has already made signatures of his young pontificate. Lumen Fidei begins with a brief survey of the biblical history of faith, starting with God’s call to Abraham to leave his land – “the beginning of an exodus which points him to an uncertain future” – and God’s promise that Abraham will be “father of a great nation”. The Bible also illustrates how men and women break faith with God by worshipping substitutes for him. “Idols exist, we begin to see, as a pretext for setting ourselves at the centre of reality and worshipping the work of our own hands,” the Pope writes. “Once man has lost the fundamental orientation which unifies his existence, he breaks down into the multiplicity of his desires ...

Pope Francis called for an end to slave labour and human trafficking as well as greater efforts to create dignified work for more people on May 1, feast of St Joseph the worker. The problem of unemployment is “very often caused by a purely economic view of society, which seeks self-centered profit, outside the bounds of social justice,” the Pope said.

From starting with three newlywed couples, this year the number is up to 60 and over 100 are expected by 2014.

ert Isaacs met with Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB on October 22 to thank the Church in WA for the support it has given to the Aboriginal community, particularly in education and the ings and land to traditional owners. With a larger Aboriginal leadership presence, he says, Aboriginals among the lapsed-faithful are more likely to return to church. Full story - pages 12-13

ST MARY’S Cathedral was teeming with life last Monday night as the Catholic community of Perth celebrated 100 years as an Archdiocese. The date could not have been more fitting, falling on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the feast after which St Mary’s, formally known as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, takes its name. In the presence of Pope Francis’ representative, the Papal Nuncio to Australia Archbishop Paul Gallagher, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB led a capacity congregation in a prayer of rededication of the Cathedral and the whole Archdiocese to the care, protection and prayer of Mary. “With this act of solemn dedication or consecra-

the
appointed Archbishop of Perth, proceeded one could almost say unremarkably. The faithful prayed, the choir sang – gorgeously – over a thousand people sensed they were present at a historic moment in the life of the Catholic Church in Western Australia. And as the faithful came forward to receive either communion or a blessing and on his final occasion as Archbishop of Perth, in the cathedral he can rightly say he completed, Barry James Hickey came forward at communion to feed his sheep one last time. A man of compassion - Page 6 Editorial - Page 16
to reflect the life of a Catholic prelate well-known for his concern for society’s downtrodden and marginalised. The moment when an Aboriginal man came forward onto the sanctuary of the cathedral and played the didgeridoo during the preparation of the gifts seemed to evoke Archbishop Hickey’s lifelong sense of empathy and concern for Australia’s indigenous people, many of whom he has buried well before their time over his more-than 53 years of life as a priest, a bishop and an archbishop. Mass, as it has been celebrated on every occasion since he was

he had ordained nearly 100 men to the priesthood in the last 15 years, it was a classic Archbishop Hickey homily, delivered in measured tones with each point quietly but carefully emphasized and delivered. And yet perhaps divine providence was subtly intervening in its own unscripted way. The first reading taken from the prophet Isaiah called the rulers of Sodom and Gomorrah to repent and turn back to God by being just, helping the oppressed, reaching out to the orphan and pleading for the widow. In an almost eery way the virtues demanded by the prophet seemed
