Rome, Italy, Jun 29, 2012 \/ 04:18 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane believes that the June 29 pallium ceremony in Rome will provide a significant boost to the work of re-evangelizing Australia.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt's a shot in the arm at a time when I think we need that,\u201d he told CNA in Rome.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Coleridge will be one of 43 new archbishops who will receive the pallium from Pope Benedict at St. Peter\u2019s basilica. The woven strip of white lamb\u2019s wool symbolizes the authority given to an archbishop by the Pope.<\/p>\n

\tThe archbishop noted that the pallium \u201cis a call not just to me as the archbishop who wears it but it is a call to whole Church to be more apostolic and you can only become more apostolic by entering into deeper communion with the See of Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIf you separate yourself from the see of Peter then it becomes impossible to fulfill the apostolic task entrusted to the Church by Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tJoining him at Friday\u2019s ceremony will be his fellow Australian, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe of Perth. Both were only appointed by Pope Benedict in recent months.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI\u2019ve been saying that in my meager six weeks in Brisbane that we are at a time in the Church in Australia \u2013 and in Brisbane in particular in my case \u2013 that we have to become more missionary,\u201d said Archbishop Coleridge.<\/p>\n

\tThe 63-year-old Melbourne born cleric believes that Catholicism in Australia has to fight the temptation to \u201cbecome more introverted and circle the wagons\u201d despite some signs that \u201cthe Church seems to be diminishing in some way\u201d at least institutionally. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\tInstead, he said, \u201cthis is a time to roll the wagons out in new territory in new and more imaginative ways\u201d by becoming a \u201cgenuinely and more deeply apostolic Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tBefore taking over the helm in Brisbane, Archbishop Coleridge spent six years as Archbishop of the Canberra\u2013Goulburn while before that he was Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne.<\/p>\n

\tHe firmly believes that renewal of the Australian Church will come through being rooted in prayer and scripture and then finding \u201cnew and imaginative ways of engaging the culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHowever, the question to be asked of every evangelization activity must be \u201cwhat has this got to do with Jesus?\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cNow it\u2019s an embarrassingly simple question but it\u2019s a crucial question because given how busy we are in our parishes and diocese sometimes we forget Jesus and we really forget what we\u2019re on about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tArchbisop Coleridge is no stranger to Rome having served in the Vatican\u2019s Secretariat of State for five years before being appointed to Melbourne in 2002. On this week\u2019s visit he\u2019s brought 30 pilgrims from his new archdiocese, many of them key officials in his chancery.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cMy hope would be that they will understand more deeply what it means to call the Church \u2018one, holy, catholic and apostolic\u2019,\u201d he said, \u201cNo place will teach you better than Rome what those four words mean.\u201d<\/p>\n
