Full textAbstract:
Despite the authoritative and very explicit directions from the Vatican in 1903, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne successfully resisted the demands for a major reform of liturgical Church music for 35 years. This thesis will examine the reasons for this strong and effective resistance to the demands of the Holy See and show that despite being complex and interrelated these reasons can be summarised under two fundamental headings. The thesis will examine the broad spectrum of music performed in the Melbourne Archdiocese, but because of the limited availability of information and the prime importance of the two principal churches of the Archdiocese, it shall concentrate on St. Patrick's Cathedral and on St. Francis Church. The thesis shall also examine in detail the documents of the Holy See concerning liturgical music which were relevant to musical practice in Melbourne. Special attention is drawn to the influential Motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini (1903) issued by Pope Pius X. The time span of this thesis covers the 95 years from March 1843 when the first music was sung in Melbourne's only Catholic church to 1938 when Archbishop Daniel Mannix ordered the reforms to liturgical music as demanded by the Vatican. The thesis shall demonstrate that the resistance to the reform of liturgical music in the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne was due to the two following influences: the fact that the new freedom and wealth that the immigrant Irish community of the Archdiocese of Melbourne experienced enabled them to establish churches and liturgies whose grandeur and artistic excellence symbolized their success in establishing a major new social and cultural status in their new home. Church music was one of the great manifestations of this and as an integral part of their new significance and sense of achievement, it was to be jealously guarded.;the second was the matter of authority and the independence of the Catholic bishops from the dictates and interference of the Vatican authorities. These Irish-born bishops were trained in an historical milieu in Ireland and Europe which fostered a fierce pride in the value of autonomy from external and alien authority. In this they were given a great degree of protection by the isolation of Australia and its distance from outside authority. In this Archbishops Carr and Mannix both proved to be strongly independent leaders who proved to be most reluctant to automatically implement reforms imposed by the Vatican. It will be shown that only in the fourth decade of the twentieth century was Episcopal authority finally brought to bear to make reforms to liturgical music a reality in the Catholic Church in Melbourne.

Full textAbstract:
The Catholic Education Office (CEO) Sydney is a large non-government education authority which administers the systemic, Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Sydney, Australia. The system consists of 148 primary and secondary schools with an enrolment of some 62,000 students. The major research question was: What characteristics of a learning organization can be identified in the Catholic Education Office (CEO) Sydney and are these perceived to raise standards in systemic schools of the Archdiocese of Sydney? Like all western education systems the CEO Sydney is immersed in constant change and is expected to account for improving educational standards within the system. The learning organization with its emphasis on adaptability and continuous improvement was considered an appropriate framework within which to conduct this research. The study consisted of two main parts the first investigated the CEO Sydney as a learning organization using a survey questionnaire distributed, using a dedicated web site, to a sample of primary and secondary principals in the system and a smaller number of senior CEO Sydney personnel. The response rate was 91%. This was complemented by examination of relevant CEO Sydney documentation and policies. The definition of the learning organization adopted for the study consisted of eight characteristics each of which formed a scale in the questionnaire. The eight characteristics adopted were: 'Systemic Thinking and Mental Models', 'Continuous Improvement of Work', 'Taking Initiatives and Risks', 'Ongoing Professional Development', 'Trusting and Collaborative Climate', 'Shared and Monitored Vision/Mission', 'Effective Communication Channels' and 'Team Work and Team Learning'. This part of the study was essentially a quantitative one, with the data subjected to descriptive, statistical analysis complemented by some clarifying and contextualising qualitative data. The second part of the study investigated the perceived relationship between the CEO Sydney and its learning organization characteristics and the standards in three curriculum outcome areas (religious education, literacy and numeracy). This part of the study was also quantitative using descriptive statistics complemented by Pearson correlation, multiple regression and canonical correlational analyses. Once again some relevant contextualising qualitative data was gathered. Five demographic groups (gender, role, region (principals only), years of experience as a principal and age) were examined to see if there were any differences in the extent to which the various learning organization characteristics and curriculum outcomes were identified by each group. The results of this study indicated that the CEO Sydney exhibited many of the characteristics of a learning organization with particular strengths in 'Continuous Improvement of Work', 'Systemic Thinking and Mental Models' and 'Shared and Monitored Vision/Mission'. The weakest characteristic was 'Taking Initiatives and Risks'. Demographic group analysis of this data revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in the responses of the different demographic groups. The results also indicated that there were correlations between the CEO Sydney as a learning organization and raising standards particularly in religious education and literacy and less so in numeracy. Finally, the study made a number of recommendations for the further development of the CEO Sydney as a learning organization and ways that it can further raise standards in the schools of the system.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. While there is much talk of an emerging interest in spirituality in Australia, there is evidence of a declining affiliation with the established Churches. The impact of mainstream Christianity in these circumstances would appear to be waning. The continued attention given to the Church in the wake of these realities and that of the Church's dealing with situations of sexual abuse has often focussed around the way in which the Church has used its power and influence. While undoubtedly there is much evidence of the Church's service and care for its members and those most in need, more questions are being asked about the accountability of those who minister within the boundaries of Catholic Church structures, and the healthiness of those very structures for helping the Church to live out its mission with integrity. Further questioning has often been around the perceived intent of Church authorities, as seen by many, to return the Church to times prior to the Second Vatican Council when clerical authority was unquestioned. There are divergent viewpoints as to whether the call of the Council for wider involvement of lay people in Church decision-making and structures is in the process of being reversed. The researcher, coming from his experience as a member of a Catholic Religious Congregation of Men, is interested in looking broadly at the issue of how power is used in the Catholic Church, with a particular focus on a case study of one Group of Male Religious in the Archdiocese of Melbourne. The aim of the study is to provide further insight into use of power in the Catholic Church, and to offer some recommendations for future use of that power in a healthy and constructive way for the benefit of the Church and, ultimately, all of society. Scope. A Literature Review was carried out to investigate the broader issues of how power may be defined. A multitude of answers emerged, resulting in a rich understanding of power and some specific related factors: gender, hegemony, patriarchy, authority, leadership, empowerment and networks. Following these explorations around how use of power may be understood, examination of issues relating to abuse of power took place. Given this background, attention was then given to issues of power in relation to Church structures. With these learnings, the researcher conducted five focus groups of people who had relevant knowledge of the male Religious Congregation in Melbourne, which was the specific case study for this research. The groups included current members of the Congregation, former members, staff members in schools run by the Congregation, former students and a women's group. The study was restricted to one specific Congregation, the 'Brothers of St Charles' [fictitious name], in Melbourne, in order to provide a particular and manageable focus. While limited in scope, the study provides an analysis of the focus groups and a linking between this analysis and the Literature Review. Conclusions. The study finishes with some reflections by the researcher on the learnings of the study and recommendations arising from the study. Central place is given to the quality of relationships of those engaged in ministry on behalf of the Catholic Church. An interplay of personal and Church/Congregational factors is proposed in order to provide some qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of such relationships. In order for ministers to take up and use their power in an enriching way for themselves and particularly for those to whom they are called in service, recommendations are made around the need for learning about use of power as part of formation for Church personnel, around encouraging ongoing personal growth in those in Church ministry, around the importance of engaging in processes of healing where people have been hurt by past inappropriate use of power, and around the need to continually critique and challenge existing Church structures where there is injustice through lack of inclusivity.

Stower, Leigh. "Eucharistic rituals in Catholic primary schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane : a study of administrators' conceptions." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2003. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36683/1/36683_Digitised%20Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The focus of this study is the celebration of Eucharist in Catholic primary schools within the Archdiocese of Brisbane. The context of the contemporary Australian Catholic primary school embodies certain 'problematical realities' in relation to the time-honoured way in which school Eucharistic rituals have been celebrated. These contemporary realities raise a number of issues that impact on school celebrations of Eucharist. The purpose of this study is to explore administrators' differing conceptions of school Eucharistic rituals in an attempt to investigate some of these issues and assist members of
individual school communities as they strive to make celebrations of Eucharist appropriate and meaningful for the group gathered.
The phenomenographic research approach was adopted, as it is well suited to the purpose of this study and the nature of the research question. Phenomenography is essentially a
study of variation. It attempts to map the 'whole' phenomenon under investigation by describing on equal terms all conceptions of the phenomenon and establishing an ordered relationship among them. The purpose of this study and the nature of the research question necessitate an approach that allows the identification and description of the different ways in which administrators' experience school Eucharistic rituals. Accordingly, phenomenography was selected. Members of the Administration Team, namely the principal, the APRE (Assistant to the Principal Religious Education) and, in larger primary schools, the AP A (Assistant to the Principal Administration) share responsibility for leading change in Catholic primary
schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane. In practice, however, principals delegate the role of leading the development of the school's religion program and providing leadership in the religious life of the school community to the APRE (Brisbane Catholic Education,
1997). Informants in this study are nineteen APREs from a variety of Catholic primary schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane. These APREs come from schools across the
archdiocese, rather than from within one particular region.
Several significant findings resulted from this study. Firstly, the data show that there are significant differences in how APREs' experience school Eucharistic rituals, although the number of these qualitatively different conceptions is quite limited. The study identifies
and describes six distinct yet related conceptions of school Eucharistic rituals. The logical
relationship among these conceptions (the outcome space) is presented in the form of a diagram with accompanying explication. The variation among the conceptions is best understood and described in terms of three dimensions of the role of Eucharist in the Catholic primary school and is represented on the model of the outcome space. Individual transcripts suggest that individual APREs tend to emphasise some conceptions more than others. It is the contention of the present study that change in the practice of school Eucharistic rituals is unlikely to occur until all of a school community's conceptions are brought out
into the open and articulated. As leaders of change, APREs need to be alerted to their own biases and become aware of alternative ways of conceiving school Eucharistic ritual.
It is proposed that the different categories of description and dimensions, represented by the model of the outcome space, can be used to help in the process of articulating a
school community's conceptions of Eucharist, with the APRE as facilitator of this process. As a result, the school community develops a better understanding of why their
particular school does what it does in relation to school Eucharistic rituals.

Willmett, Anthony T. "Conceptions of 'sexuality education' held by a group of primary school teachers in the catholic archdiocese of Brisbane." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2002. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36662/1/36662_Digitised%20Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This study is about the qualitatively different ways in which the phenomenon of sexuality education is experienced or understood by an opportunity sample of primary teachers who teach in Year Six and Year Seven in Catholic primary schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane. No other topic is as likely to be sensitive or emotionally charged for parents, students, employers, and school administrators as sexuality.
The Catholic Church expects the teachers who teach in Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Australia, to teach religious education and to address sexuality education in the formal curriculum. Sexuality education has been closely associated with Religious Education (RE) in Australian Catholic primary schools. A fundamental aim of Catholic school religious education has been the development of students' faith within the context of the Catholic faith tradition. Contesting views about faith development, including proposals for a catechetical approach or an educational approach to religious education, continue in Australian Catholic schools.
This phenomenographical study covers a period of curriculum change in areas that involve sexuality education in Catholic school settings. Its goal is to explore the phenomenon of sexuality education as it is seen or experienced by the participants in this context. The conceptions held by the teachers in the study are revealed by an analysis of data collected during a series of synergetic focus group interviews.
The major finding of the study is that the teachers in the upper primary grades of Catholic primary schools in the Archdiocese of Brisbane are anxious and fearful about addressing sexuality education. Apprehension, disquiet and uncertainty are felt personally, professionally, and pedagogically. An implication of the findings of the study is that a new model of relationship-based on collegiality, collaboration, trust, respect and freedom between students, families, clergy and teachers-is required in Catholic schools.

Full textAbstract:
In 2009, the Archdiocese of New Orleans went through a reorganization that resulted in the closure of numerous parishes under its direction. This thesis will look at how one of the parishes closed during this reorganization, St. Henry’s, had already faced, and survived, numerous attempts at closure. A study of these previous attempts reveals that internal church politics were often on display and the driving force behind the decisions. Using documents from the Archdiocesan Archives of New Orleans, this thesis looks at the history and leadership of St. Henry’s parish, and examines how the survival of a church often has more to do with the personalities of those in leadership positions and less to do with the propagation of faith.

Thesis advisor: Richard LennanThesis advisor: Margaret E. Guider
As the Archdiocese of Boston continues to heal from the clergy sexual abuse crisis, it is engaged in a pastoral planning process designed to prepare parishes for the task of evangelization. According to the 2012 Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization, the goal of evangelization is to “create the possibility” for an encounter and relationship with Jesus. To create the possibility for people to encounter Jesus Christ in faith, the implementation of the New Evangelization in the Archdiocese of Boston at this point in its history must focus on two aspects: healing the inner life of the Church, its communio, through a process of conversion and reconciliation and engaging the Church in the missio given it by Jesus by becoming a church of the poor. This paper begins with a presentation of the New Evangelization as described in papal and other ecclesial documents highlighting several principal themes: the context and content of the New Evangelization, the Church and the poor, Christian witness, conversion, reconciliation, Christian hope, and apologetics. Following a brief overview of the North American context in which evangelization must take place, the third chapter focuses on conversion as a response in love to God’s invitation to live in the love of the triune God and on reconciliation as the healing of relationships through celebrations of reconciliation and through the work of the church community. The fourth chapter presents the challenge of becoming a Church of the poor by which the Church comes into closer relationship with Jesus who is present in the suffering poor. Finally, the hope to which God calls us is eternal life in the loving communion of the Father, Son, and Spirit in the Kingdom of God. Christian hope is the virtue that sustains us on our way to the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom while in the midst of its non-fulfillment

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore, synthesize, and reflect ecclesiologically upon the history of the reception and implementation of the Second Vatican Council’s vision of the lay apostolate within the Archdiocese of Hobart, Australia, focusing on the episcopacies of Archbishops Guilford Young and Eric D’Arcy (1955–99). Young became Archbishop of Hobart in 1955. He attended the Council and was an active member of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) and the Consilium responsible for the implementation of the Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. For Young, this text promulgated a principle of adaptation applicable to areas of church life and mission beyond worship, including the lay apostolate. After Vatican II, he promoted a renewed appreciation for the dignity, equality, and shared responsibilities of the laity within the Archdiocese of Hobart. Amongst other conciliar documents, he was directly inspired by the Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, and the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes. During Young’s episcopacy, the reception and implementation of the Second Vatican Council’s teachings unfolded in two stages: 1) a period of structural reform which expanded opportunities for lay participation within the life and mission of the Archdiocese of Hobart (1964–81); 2) and a period of research and consultation in response to pastoral concerns (1981–88), which resulted in the calling together of a Priests’ Assembly (1984) and Diocesan Assembly (1986), and ended with the death of Young in 1988. Eric D’Arcy became Archbishop of Hobart in 1988. He sought to address the desire for renewal built-up in the previous decade by implementing a pastoral programme entitled “Renew” (1990–92), which encouraged lay Catholics to meet in groups amongst parishes and discuss their faith. During his episcopacy (1988–99), two movements emerged which promoted ecclesial paradigms and practices inspired by nostalgia for a pre-conciliar church of the past. 1) Catholics from Victoria organised protests against “Renew,” seemingly dissatisfied with the status of the Catholic Church in Australia since the implementation of post-conciliar reforms. 2) The reintroduction of the Latin rite during the 1990s became a point of tension within the Archdiocese of Hobart. Tensions and divisions between priests and laity continued to develop. A report drafted after dialogue groups were held amongst parishioners at the end of D’Arcy’s episcopacy (1999), recorded concerns that the archdiocese had moved away from conciliar teachings which envisioned the church as a pilgrim people. In conclusion, Young’s openness to adaptation inspired by post-conciliar liturgical reform impacted many areas of the Archdiocese of Hobart, including the lay apostolate. By contrast, D’Arcy’s episcopacy witnessed the emergence of two movements which either downplayed or directly opposed liturgical innovation and lay participation. In these instances, the concept of adaptation was either ignored or rejected.

Full textAbstract:
In the year 589 Reccared, king of the Visigoths, called together leaders of the Catholic Church and the Visigothic nobility to meet at the Third Council of Toledo. That council marked a dramatic change in the Visigothic Kingdom and began a collaboration between the Catholic Church and the Visigothic royal government that would come to define the kingdom, and has forever colored our view of the history of Spain. This dissertation will attempt to place the events that occurred at the Third Council of Toledo into the larger context of the sixth century and will show that the union between the Catholic Church and the Visigothic royal government that occurred at Toledo III was the result of a connection between two longstanding forces in society: the efforts of a small number of provincial bishops to purify society through strict, orthodox Catholicism and the efforts of a few Visigoth monarchs to centralize the kingdom and create a political entity that would be the natural heir to official Roman legitimacy in the west as well as offer a counterbalance to the Eastern Roman Empire. Further, it will draw some connections between the work of the Catholic Church in the Suevic Kingdom, the other Germanic Kingdom that existed on the Iberian Peninsula during the sixth century, and the the Third Council of Toledo. Finally, it will show that in the immediate aftermath of the Third Council of Toledo the bishops were disappointed to find that the introduction of coercive power as a tool of instruction for bishops proved largely unworkable in the short term which led them to abandon some of their new found powers.

Esta dissertação se propõe a reconstituir o período em que Dom Vicente Scherer esteve à frente da Arquidiocese de Porto Alegre, RS – de 1961 a 1981 –, a partir da análise das posições que assumiu sobre temas como a moral católica, o comunismo e a Teologia da Libertação, as relações entre Igreja e Estado e a Renovação da Igreja Católica. Para tanto, utiliza como fonte os artigos de sua autoria publicados no Boletim Unitas – órgão oficial de comunicação da Arquidiocese de Porto Alegre –, bem como alguns números da Revista Eclesiástica Brasileira, da Revista Vozes e da Revista Veja. A partir do emprego dos conceitos de “estratégia” (BOURDIEU, 1990) e de “margem de manobra” (ROSENTAL, 1998), procura-se relativizar as consagradas visões historiográficas tanto sobre a atuação de Dom Vicente à frente da Arquidiocese, quanto sobre as posições que assumiu diante das profundas mudanças sociais e culturais do período.
This dissertation proposes to reconstruct the period in which Dom Vicente Scherer led the Archdiocese of Porto Alegre, RS - 1961 to 1981 - from the analysis of the positions he took on issues such as Catholic moral theology and Communism Liberation, the relations between Church and State and the Renewal of the Catholic Church. We also use as a source of his own articles published in Bulletin Unitas - the official communication of the Archdiocese of Porto Alegre - as well as some numbers of the Journal Ecclesiastical Brazilian Voices Magazine and See Magazine. From the use of the concepts of "strategy" (Bourdieu, 1990) and "discretion" (Rosental, 1998), seeks to relativize those consecrated both historiographical visions about the role of Don Vicente ahead of the Archdiocese, as about the positions they took on the profound social and cultural changes of the period.

Full textAbstract:
Appréhender la foi des laïcs napolitains au XVIe siècle est une entreprise ardue tant en raison des difficultés matérielles d’accès aux sources, que de leur discontinuité temporelle, qui rendent difficile toute reconstruction historique systématique fondée sur la longue durée, ou l’étude de séries homogènes de sources. Malgré cette réalité, les difficultés matérielles ont été contournées par des dépouillements systématiques de fonds d’une grande diversité, tant des archives archidiocésaines ou d’État de Naples,que de la Curie généralice de la Compagnie de Jésus, et que celles du Saint-Siège, tout en recourant à une méthodologie qualitative.Les caractères singuliers d’une piété laïque et urbaine ont d’abord été privilégiés, puis l’analyse s’est attachée, dans la capitale du vice-royaume d’Espagne, aux relations entre laïcs et ecclésiastiques avant et après le concile de Trente. En effet, l’approche diachronique choisie se concentre sur le “siècle de transition” de l’histoire de l’Église catholique moderne, celui du XVIe siècle.Émergent de cette thèse la reconstruction de multiples identités religieuses de laïcs et d’ecclésiastiques napolitains, comme leur manière d’appréhender la religion et l’Église catholique, grâce aux précieux éléments fournis par l’examen des visites pastorales tridentines, ou de celui plus ou moins répressif des procès-verbaux des tribunaux archidiocésains et de “l’Inquisition napolitaine” du Saint Office. Les Napolitains sont ainsi peu enclins à l’application des normes tridentines, alimentant un contexte de tension sociale grandissant, et de criminalisation religieuse. En témoignent également des sources singulières pour l’histoire de la sensibilité religieuse, en l'occurence les procès-verbaux des veilles d’exécutions capitales de laïcs, dressés par les “greffiers” de la Compagnie des Bianchi della Giustizia.Face à cette situation, des stratégies sont mises en œuvre par la Curie généralice et les responsables du Collège jésuite napolitain, afin de réformer la vie religieuse, très contrastée au regard également des sources de la Curie de l’archidiocèse. Enfin, laïcs et clercs font bien souvent cause commune face aux tentatives de réformes romaines, ce qui ne diffère guère d’une grande partie des villes de l’Europe catholique.Le tableau présenté dans cette thèse fait apparaître une religion citadine encore “très médiévale”, -selon toute vraisemblance enracinée dans un héritage byzantin-, témoignant des fortes résistances locales laïques et ecclésiastiques, rendant très laborieuse l’introduction du nouveau modèle de vie chrétienne dans la capitale du royaume de Naples jusqu’à la réforme de 1598 du cardinal et archevêque Alfonso GesualdoUnderstanding Neapolitan lay people’s faith in the sixteenth century is an arduous undertaking, both because of the material difficulties of accessing sources and because of their temporal discontinuity, which makes it difficult to carry out any historical systematic reconstruction based on the long term, orto study homogeneous series of sources. In spite of this reality, material difficulties have been overcome by systematically examining a wide variety of collections, both from the archdiocesan and state archivesof Naples, the General Curia (Curia Generalice) of the Society of Jesus, and the Holy See, using aqualitative methodology.The particular characteristics of a lay and urban piety were first privileged, then the analysis focused on the relations between laymen and ecclesiastics in the capital of the vice-kingdom of Spain before and after the Council of Trent. In fact, the diachronic approach chosen focuses on the "transitional century"of the history of the modern Catholic Church, that of the 16th century.From this thesis emerges the reconstruction of multiple religious identities of Neapolitan laymen and clergymen, as well as their way of apprehending religion and the Catholic Church, thanks to the precious elements provided by the examination of the Tridentine pastoral visits, or of the more or less repressive one of the minutes of the archdiocesan tribunals and of the "Neapolitan Inquisition" of the Holy Office.Thus, Neapolitans were reluctant to apply the Tridentine norms, increasing a context of growing social tension and religious criminalisation. This is also demonstrated by the essential sources for the historyof religious sensitivity, in this case the minutes of the vigil of capital executions of laymen, drawn up by the "clerks" of the Company of the Bianchi della Giustizia. Faced with this situation, strategies were implemented by the General Curia and those in charge of the Neapolitan Jesuit College, in order toreform religious life, which was very contrasted according to the sources of the Curia of the archdiocesetoo. Finally, laymen and clerics often made common cause in the face of attempts at Roman reform,which was not that different from most Catholic European cities.This thesis shows a city religion that is still "very medieval", - in all likelihood rooted in a Byzantine heritage -, testifying to strong local lay and ecclesiastical resistance, making the introduction of the new model of Christian life very laborious in the capital of the Kingdom of Naples until the 1598’s reformof Cardinal and Archbishop Alfonso Gesualdo

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an applied ecclesiological study of the relationship between the Adelaide Catholic Church and its secondary schools. The specific focus is on the interplay between theological confession and historical reality. The theological confession with which I have been concerned is the understanding that the church is a community. The Archdiocese of Adelaide has been described as a community of people called into mission in and for the world. Catholic schools have also been regularly described as communities that exist within the wider church community. This study has examined how and to what extent this theological confession has informed and been informed by the contemporary historical reality of Adelaide's Catholic secondary schools and their relationship with the local church.

The Prefecture of Pella bought Heirachabis in 1895 and occupied it in 1898. This
marked the beginning of the Mission in the South. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate
officially started on 8 December 1896. They were allowed to minister among the
Europeans and among Africans, not ministered to by a Protestant Mission. The
first expansion was at Klein Windhoek, and at Swakopmund being the gateway to the
Protectorate.
The Tswana invited the Mission to help them after they had arrived from the Cape.
Aminuis and Epukiro were founded. After 1905 the Mission was allowed to open
stations among the Herera and Damara. Doebra, Gobabis, Usakos, Omaruru, and
Okombahe were the result.
Seven expeditions were undertaken to reach Kavango. After many failures the first
mission became a reality at Nyangana in 1910. Just before the war the expansion
reached Grootfontein, Tsumeb and Kokasib. In the South missions were opened at
Warmbad, Gabis, Keetmanshoop, Luederitz and Gibeon.
World War I scattered the African population of the towns which disturbed the
missionary work. The S. A. Administration allowed most missionaries to stay.
After the Peace Conference S. W. A. became a Mandate of S. A.
In 1924 permission was granted to enter Owambo. The first station was opened in
Ukuambi, later followed by Ombalantu and Okatana. In 1926 the Prefecture of Lower
Cimbebasia was elevated to the Vicariate of Windhoek, while the Prefecture of
Great Namaqualand became the Vicariate of Keetmanshoop in 1930.
World War II left the missionary activities undisturbed. In 1943 Magistrate
Trollop in Caprivi invited the Catholic Mission in 1943 to come and open
educational and health facilities. The South expanded into Stampriet, Witkrans,
Aroab, Mariental.
The election victory in 1948 in South Africa of the Afrikaner Parties with the
resulting apartheid legislation negatively affected the missions in S. W. A.
After 1965 the influence of Vatican II became noticeable, while the pressure of
the United Nations Organisation moved the territory towards independence. While
initially the Catholic Church had been very cautious, in the ?O's and 80's she
took a very definite stand in favour of human rights. She also became a full
member of the CCN.Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology
