TheApostolicDelegate,lefttovisittheDioceseofGeraldton.

"MyLord,VeryReverend andReverendFathers,dear brethreninChrist,Ithank yousincerelyforyourkind welcomeamongyou.Iam particularlygratefultoHis LordshipBishopGummcr forhisinvitationtovisit thisdiocese,andforthe graciousaddressofwelcome whichhehasjustvoiced onbehalfofallofyou,"said HisExcellency.

Hewasveryhappyto payavisittotheDioecese ofGeraldton,hesaid,bewasperhapsmosttypicalof whatwasconsideredthe "realAustralian"dioceses..

Itwasthedioceseofthe wideopenspaces,scovering widespreadareasofthe countryside,withoutany verylargecities.Visiting suchdistrictswasalwaysa pleasureforhimformany reasons.

GoodFamilyLife

Countiydioceseshad manyadvantagesfromthe religiouspointofviewthat peopleincrowdedcitiesdid nothave.Ofcoursethere weredisadvantagestoofrom thereligiouspointofview: manypeoplecouldnotgo asoftenastheywouldlike, toMassortheSacraments thereweredifficultiesin providingCatholiceducation forallthechildrenandso forth.

Butwhilerecognising thosedifficultiesanddoing theirbesttosurmountthem, theymustnotforgettheadvantagesofdistrictssuchas thoseofthatdiocese.

Inspiteofthegreatdistances,inruraldioceses,it waseasiertohavemorefrequentandbeneficialindividualcontactsandknowledgebetweenshepherds andtheirflocks.

Peopleinthecountry oftenhadahealthierlifenaturally,sociallyandreligiously-thanthoseinthe cities.Thereligiousaspect wasonethatconcernedhim thatday.Itwaswellknown thatusuallyfamilylifewas strongerandhealthierin thecountryareas.

Now,fromareligious pointofview,somuchdependedonthegoodCatholic families.Fromthegood Catholichome,manybenefitshadcometotheChurch inAustralia.TheCatholic homesoftheAustralian countryregionshadfor manyyearsbeenplaces wherestrongfaithhadbeen conservedandfostered.

Fromsuchhomeshad comemanyofthevocations tothepriesthoodandreligiouslife;anditwasfrom suchhomesthattheywould alwayscome.Fromthem, too,hadcomethefinebody oflay-peoplewhowerethe prideoftheirpastors.

Inthecities,wherepeople were"carefulandtroubled aboutmanythings,"about entertainments, social eventsandsoon,theywere temptedtogivelesstime andthoughttothe"one thingnecessary,"tothe knowledgeandpracticeof theirfaith."Withdesolationisthelandlaiddesolate becausenomanthinksin hisheart"oboutthereal valuesoflife,andthetruths ofreligionthatmustrulea man'slifeandhisrelations toothersiftherewastobe peaceandharmonyand goodlivingintheworld.

They,ofthecountry areas,farfromthenoise andbustleofthevastmetropolishadmoretimeand leisuretothinkofthetruths oftheChristianrevelation, andtoregulatetheirlives thereby.

Thewavesofviceand crimethatattimesstruck thecities,leftthemgenerallyuntouched.

Therewere,consequently, lessworriesforthem,and lessobstaclesinthewayof themandtheirchildren livingaccordingtothe teachingsoftheGospel.

Inspiteofthedifficulties inthewayofitsdevelopmenttheChurchhad,in thatdiocese,builtup churchesandcollegesand institutions.TheCatholic lifewouldalwaysbearfruit, andithaddonesothere.

BISHOPGOODY

ApostolicDelegateAdvocatesThat CatholicCentreBeSitedInCanberra

HisExcellencysaidhe wasverygratefultoHis LordshipBishopGoodyfor theinvitationtovisitthe DioceseofSunbury,andto allthepriests,religiousand lay-peoplefortheirkindly welcome.

BunburywastheyoungestofalltheDioceseof Australia.Butitwasnot theleast.For,underthe wiseguidanceandactive administrationofHisGrace Archbishop Prendiville, whilestillpartoftheArchdioceseofPerth,theChurch inthatareawasbuiltupto strengthandimportance thatitcouldconstitutea diocese.ItwasatthesuggestionofHisGracethatthe newDioceseofBunbury waserected.

Itwaswellknownthat thecreationandsuppression ofdiocesesandthechanges indiocesanboundariesbelongedexclusivelytothe SovereignPontiff.

However,itwasalsotrue thattheHolyFather,while reservingtohimselfthe divinely-bestowedrightto determinetheecclesiastical boundariesofdioceses throughouttheworld,welcomedanygoodprojectwith regardtotheerectionof newdiocesesandthechangingoftheboundariesofthe old.

PowersOfBishop

Inexercisinghisrights, theHolyFatherusedhis customarywisdomand charity.

Itwouldnotbeoutof place,continuedHisExcellency,torecallthenature andcharacteristicsofa diocesewhichwasanessentialcellintheentireChurchspreadthroughoutthe world.

EachdiocesewasentrustedtoaBishop,asuccessor oftheApostles,appointed bytheHolyFatherand placedbyGodoverthat portionofthevineyardof Christ.

Incommunionwithand insubmissiontothePope, eachBishophadtheApostolicpowertogovern,teach andsanctifyhisflock.

RecentlytheHolyFather hadtorecallthisdogmatic truthabouttheBishops' authority,becauseinsome countriesthewarningwas necessary.Here,thankGod, allCatholics,priests,religiousandlay-peoplevenerated,respectedandobeyed theBishops'authority.

Thoseconsiderationshad recentlyurgedtheHoly Fathertoreducethediocesanterritoriesaroundthe verylargecities.Forexample,theArchdioceseof Chicagowasreducedbythe erectionoftheDioceseof Jolietontheveryoutskirts ofthecityinDecember, 1948.

TheCityofNewYork, whichhadoneLordMayor andonemunicipaladministration,hadtwoecclesiasticaldivisions:theArchdioceseofNewYork,and theDioceseofBrooklyn.

Thatdivisionoflarge dioceseswasalsoprompted bytheconsiderationthat withsmallernumberitwas easiertoensurethatnosectionofthecommunitywas neglected.

Itwasastrikingfact, provedbyrepeatedexperience,thatdividingtheterritoriesandpopulationsof diocesesandparishesdid notweakenthelifeofthose divided.

Co-operativeSpirit Institutions,organisations, vocations,andallother thingsusefultothelifeof theChurchincreasedin botholdandnewterritories.

Thediocesesbeingless extensive,Catholiclifeand organisationbecamemore intensiveandvigorous,and producedmoreabundant fruit.

Acountrydiocese,suchas Bunbury,wasusuallyfortunatebecauseoftheparticularlyfriendlyspiritof co-operationexistingbetweentheBishop,allthe clergy,diocesanandreligious,theBrothersandSisters andthefaithful.

Firstofall,itcoveredacertainamountofterritory; thatterritoryshouldnotbe toosmall,norshoulditbe toolarge.

Ifitweretoosmall,there wouldbedifficultieswith regardtothemovementof priestsandreligiousfrom oneplacetoanother;the clergywouldnothavethe opportunityofseeingand meetingoneanotherfrequently.

TheBishopandhisclose collaboratorswouldfindthe necessaryvisitationsexhausting.

Thepopulationwhichinhabitedtheterritoryshould, inturn,benottoosmallnor toolarge.Iftherewasonly asmallCatholicpopulatioo, vocationstothepriesthood andthereligiouslifewould beinsufficient.

Moralandeconomicsupportforthediocesanworks andinstitutionswouldthen betoofeeble,andtheorganisationandlifeofthe diocesewouldnotbestrong.

If,ontheotherhand,the Catholicandnon-Catholic populationwastoolarge,it

Whentheythoughof Catholiclifetheycould neverforgetthenecessity ofdirectcontactandpersonalknoweldgebetween theshepherdandthein-dividualmembersofthe flock:"Iamthegoodshepherd,andIknowmineand mineknowMe,evenasthe FatherknowsMeandI knowtheFather."(St.
