The Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross community have last Sunday celebrated the candidacy of Andrew Iswahyudi, with Bishop Anthony Randazzo highlighting the vocation is a commitment to be conformed ever more deeply to Jesus Christ.
The Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross was created by Pope Benedict in 2012 to provide a pathway for Anglicans to full communion in the Roman Catholic Church – Broken Bay Bishop Anthony Randazzo was last week appointed as Apostolic Administrator.
What could be more ordinary than wanting to reconnect with one’s roots, examining the past to reconstruct a modern identity in today’s transient world? For Monsignor Carl Reid, Australia’s new Ordinary of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, the lessons of history lend themselves to a Catholic identity – one that humbly seeks reconciliation with the Mother Church of Rome.
