An unusual request to ACP members

Roisin O’Shea write this letter to Tony Flannery, of the ACP Leadership Team:
I need your support.
My proposal for an EU Community Family Justice model, that was an outcome of my international family law workshop in March at W.I.T., has been nominated for an Innovating Justice award by the Hague Institute [Scroll down to see the email below]. The organisers ask that I send their email to my network, family and friends to vote. The three proposals that secure the greatest amount of votes go on to be considered by a closed jury. My proposal is for an overarching family justice model, that puts mediation centre stage, to be used in the same way by all Member States, the research centre would be based at W.I.T. if we can get the funding. The first part of the voting process, which is worldwide, is essentially a public vote, so I need every vote I can get!
Voting is now open and ends on October 8th. Voting has now been simplified, go to

    Seán McDonagh, SSC reports on a Joint Consultation on ‘Laudato Si’ and the Path to ‘COP 22’ organised by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences.
    He quotes Prof. Ramanathan Veerabhadran as saying “the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming is the most important environmental issue facing the world today.”
    “At the end of the meeting the group released this document in preparation for the COP 22 which will take place in Marraakesh from November 7 to 18th 2016.
    “ The Paris Climate Agreement is historic. For the first time since the signing of the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), all countries have agreed to act in order to protect the planet. The core goals include: (1) keeping warming to “well below 2-degrees C” and “to pursue efforts to keep below 1.5-degree C”; (2) enabling countries to adapt to the adverse impacts already underway; and (3) ensuring the flow of fair and equitable financing to achieve the climate goals.”

    Massimo Faggioli reports on the outcome of the synod in http://www.globalpulsemagazine.com/news/life-begins-at-50/2070

    “Yet the final document, which received the quorum of the two thirds for all its paragraphs, is more cautious than the text of 2014.
    It is also silent on some important issues, namely the attitude of the Church towards gay people (except a weak passage on families with gay members).”
    “But in this sense the final relatio of 2015 is a document that gives us a picture of the Church – more accurately, of its bishops – that is closer to reality,”
    “The Synod also showed that much of the Catholic debate today is the expression of a debate between American bishops. The fact that they disagreed in public … is in itself surprising. It is the symptom of the extremism and sectarianism of some … but also the sign of Francis’ breakthrough in the American Catholic hierarchy.”
    “The Synod’s final document is important, but it says less about the future direction of the Church than Francis’ great speeches of October 17 (a new ecclesiological framework for a synodal Church) and October 24 (against the ideologues in the Church). This is why the Synod of 2015 will disappoint some liberals, but it is clearly a victory for Francis.”

  • ‘Mass’ at the wake?

    Stan Mellett shares some thoughts on the importance of having a pastoral approach to funeral rites “when the increasingly normal experience is a funeral for one who has long since lost touch with the church, had ceased to practice the faith and been in an irregular marital situation,”
    “People who have little contact with church – uneasy with ceremony and ritual – anxious and uneasy about protocol, any effort to accommodate and accompany them through the Wake, funeral Mass and burial/cremation is a service not to be underestimated; an important pastoral opportunity not to be missed.”

  1. Sounds like a very worthwhile project and Roisin O’Shea has clearly achieved a lot in this area already.
    Voting is straightforward, though possibly a little bewildering at first and you may need to use a Gmail account.
    Attempt to vote. You will be asked to register. Do that. Log in. Vote for real.

  2. Would you consider putting the “Submit Comment” button below the Captcha code. I don’t know how many times I’ve hit the button not having seen the code and when you backpage your original text is gone.
    Just a thought in the interest of continued serenity.
