30th Sunday Ordinary 26th October 2014 Year A St Ignatius Church Kensington Terrace, Toowong THE CHURCH & FINANCES When Pope Francis puts a cardinal in charge of something, the choice is typically an outsider. His most important appointment so far, either lay or religious, is Cardinal George Pell, an Australian whom he recruited from the archdiocese of Holy Spirit Church Harriett Street, Auchenflower Sydney. Pell now heads the newly formed Secretariat for the Economy, and Pope Francis has granted Pell power over finances that no official has remotely held before. He is responsible for setting and enforcing all budgets and managing all investments. The son of a heavyweight boxer, Pell, 73, is an imposing figure who is short on niceties and brutally frank about the necessity to radically pare costs. Pope Francis has a complex but pragmatic view of money. “Money is useful to carry out many things, for works to support humanity”, he has said. “But when your heart is attached to it, it destroys you.” His humble lifestyle follows those precepts. He resides in a oneone-bedroom, secondsecond-floor suite in Casa Santa Marta overlooking the entrance. (Benedict, the former pope, lives nearby in a converted monastery called Mater Ecclesiae and occasionally sends Francis notes with feedback on his interviews.) Visitors say the Pope’s lights go on at 4.30am. He’s frequently spotted in the buffet line, tray in hand, at the Santa Marta dining room, where the cuisine isn’t fancy— fancy—it offers a choice of two main courses for lunch and dinner, and features Italian specialties such as pasta con pomodoro and pollo arrosto. He takes no holidays, explaining that if the poor can’t take vacations, why should he?

Archdiocesan Information Blue Knot Day—Monday 27 October. ADULT SURVIVING CHILD ABUSE (ASCA) is the name of a support group who have come to prominence during the McClellan Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. At their initiative Monday 27 October has been declared “Blue Knot Day” as a way of raising national awareness in solidarity with the many adult survivors of childhood trauma. Francis Sullivan, CEO of the Truth Justice and Healing Council which is interacting with the Royal Commission directly on behalf of the Church, has called on all Catholic organisations around Australia to take part in Blue Knot Day 2014. “This is a chance for Catholic parishes, congregations, social services, health, and education organisations across Australia to show their support for survivors of child sexual abuse,” Mr Sullivan said. “This is not just about abuse that happened in the Catholic Church but about abuse that has happened anywhere. As a caring community, Blue Knot Day, gives Catholics the perfect opportunity to make a very clear statement that we are responsible for ensuring the crimes and cover-ups of the past never happen again and that survivors are treated with justice and compassion,” Mr Sullivan said. Whilst Blue Knot day is officially on the Monday, other activities will be held in the week stretching from 27 October to 2 November. ASCA President, Dr Cathy Kezelman, said the significance of this year’s Blue Knot Day is growing as the issue of child sexual abuse has never been more prominent. “In the past few years, cases once hidden have finally come to light. We need to make sure that everyone knows recovery is possible and there are people who can help,” Dr Kezelman said. This year Blue Knot Day will focus its attention on the education and training urgently needed for health professionals and organisations working with survivors.
