• W328626542 abstract "Funerals can be risky occasions, especially for those of fame or eminence. They bring to the surface the current interpretation of the deceased, before imprinting it into the record. The famous and eminent not only receive publicly noticed funerals. They also attract published obituaries, usually retrieved from storage. Some may be hopelessly out of date by the time they are needed, others are rewarmed at the time of publication, still others are freshly coined for the occasion. Whatever their state, for the historians and biographers of the future, the obituaries remain fundamental and influential. It's hard to escape the judgment and evaluation set into print at the point of death. So, it pays to depart at the most favourable time for one's reputation. To escape the magnetic pull of the obituaries, and achieve a fuller understanding of the deceased we have to wait for someone to go further, and deeper, into the individual and his or her times. Making the myths Prelates are no exception to this myth-making process. Certainly, there are many myths about James Carroll and these all surfaced at the time of his death (14 January 1995). It was news in all the Australian media--print, radio and television. His obsequies provide an interesting and instructive occasion on many counts. The story was not so much the passing of a venerable archbishop and leader of a large flock, but of an old-fashioned ideological warrior, more narrowly a sort of spiritual godfather of the Australian Labor Party. The headlines said it all: 'Nation farewells a true believer' claimed the Daily Telegraph, noting that 'a who's who of the ALP packed the front rows of the Cathedral' to honour a 'died[sic]-in-the-wool Labor Party man'. (1) It was rivalled by the Sydney Morning Herald's 'Politicians mourn working-class holy prince'. (2) Then there was the Australian: 'Labor stalwarts salute a true believer'. (3) Echoing the language of the Prime Minister of the day, Paul Keating, who preceded the hearse on foot along College street, the main dailies anchored James Carroll well and truly. He was an uncompromising acolyte of the Australian Labor Party and their trusty episcopal ally. The obituaries followed suit. The Herald's 'Labor loses a great friend in the church' focussed almost entirely on Carroll's role in the 'Split' of the mid-1950s and in the 1972 national election. (4) The Australian's 'Pastor influential in Labor struggles' by James Murray was more illuminating and sensitive? While Carroll couldn't entirely escape the Labor affinity in Murray's piece, there was at least a recognition of his engaging human qualities. Here, at the threshold of James Carroll's posterity, Gerard Henderson's summation of the late Archbishop constituted the most extended commentary. (6) 'He was' said Henderson 'the clerical version of the modern numbers man, if somewhat holier'. He continued, 'Think of Graham Richardson--plus more grace, minus memoirs--in clerical garb'. Although Henderson acknowledged that 'at the time James Carroll read the labour movement and Australian society more perceptively than Santamaria and Mannix', he casts him as more authoritarian than his Victorian rivals. Henderson went on to conclude that in 1972 'There is little doubt that Carroll's statement helped Labor across the line in what turned out to be a close-run event. Once again Carroll's judgment may have been correct. But it was implemented in an authoritarian manner without reference to the laity'. Then he concludes by summing up the man as follows: 'James Carroll was like many successful politicians--lively but not deep, personally pleasant except when in a fight, more interested in issuing orders than in genuine discussion'. So, the popular image of James Carroll, reinforced by his funeral and his obituaries, is of a man blindly partisan in his political views whose influence and significance derive from two controversial interventions, one in 1954-57, the other in 1972. …" @default.
