- W2155376992 abstract "William Bernard Ullathorne was Vicar General of New South Wales from 1832 to 1841. While Catholics had arrived in First Fleet in 1788, it was not until 1830s that church's ministerial structure was put on a permanent footing. In order to place decade of 1830s in context, I have outlined early history of Catholicism in Australia and examined why Fathers Therry and Conolly failed to put down permanentroots. The thesis then goes on to argue that Ullathorne was key person in establishing permanent ecclesiastical structures. The Catholic Church had begun in Australia in 1820 as an official convict chaplaincy. Church-state relationships were of fundamental importance. It was Ullathorne who negotiated a working relationship with colonial government of New South Wales.The thesis argues that his success in Australia was based on his own clerical professionalism. The professional clergymanwas a newly emerging species in 19th century. After outlining his early life and experience, emphasis shifts to reasonably sound priestly formation he received at Downside Abbey. It was there that he imbibed a definiteconception of role of clergyman in society. The function of priest was to re-enforce Christian morals through thesupervision of Catholic community, to celebrate rites of transition and to support faith of Catholics through theevolution of a sense of identity. Much of his achievement in Australia is based on this sense of mission and practicalityof his personality. His writings, both polemical and apologetic, helped Catholics inNew South Wales gain a sense of identity. By casting Catholics in role of persecuted underdog, he helped churchcommunity define itself over and against other groups that made up fabric of Australian society. This was re-enforcedby 'Irishness' of Catholicism. His willingness to enter into controversy with other church leaders also helped in thedevelopment of a sense of identity. Tragically inter-church controversy quickly led to blight of sectarianism.Despite his professionalism and his willing co-operation with government, he did not always conform to prevailing attitudes. His close contact with realities of convict transportation and assignment eventually led him to oppose whole system. He saw it as a complete failure. The thesis argues that Ullathorne emerged from 1835 onwards as a major social critic in New South Wales. This led to his nickname the Agitator General! I have already mentioned 'Irishness' of AustralianCatholic Church. After a recruiting drive in Europe and United Kingdom (1836-1838), he recognised that church was not only made up of Irish laity, but that vast majority of clergy would also be Irish. He immediately perceived injustice of Australian Church being ruled by Englishmonks. Archbishop Polding of Sydney could never face this. Ullathorne's realisation of 'Irishness' of Australianchurch led him to leave…" @default.
