Catholic Social and Political Activism from 1890 – 1956 The Catholic Church can be proud when it looks back over its involvement in Australian society over many decades. It can be seen that the Catholic Church was always at the forefront of efforts to improve the conditions and lives of all citizens of this great land. In 1895 Pope Leo III brought out the encyclical Rerum Novarum. In it the Pope confirmed that the workers of the world had the right to use any means at their disposal to attain just conditions and wages. The Church affirmed that capitalism was an evil system that was not in accord with the teachings of the Church and it was the duty of Catholics to overturn it. The radical words of Rerum Novarum gave great encouragement to the workers of Australia who were involved in a bitter dispute with the federal government from 1894-1896. This period was marked with nation-wide strikes. The Catholic Church stood on the side of the workers against the government, as it always has, and eventually saw that the government cave in to the workers’ demands. With the outbreak of World War I in 1913 the Church feared that the war would rip the Empire apart. The Church saw that Communist Soviet Union, under the leadership of Stalin, had declared war so as to provoke socialist revolutions throughout Europe and the wider world. The authorities of the Catholic Church feared that society and the stability of the Empire would be overturned. As a result the Church gave warm, if not outright, support to Prime Minister Billy Hughes’s efforts to bring in conscription from the very start of the war. Although Ireland had gained its independence following the 1916 Easter rebellion, the Australian Catholic authorities did not yet support Australia becoming a republic. As a side note, this is quite a contrast to the Church’s position today! By the outbreak of World War II the Irish-Australian Catholic element was not so nearly a reactionary element within Australian society as it had been during World War I. This was in large part due to the resumption of state aid to Catholic schools. In gratitude for the support of Irish-Australian Catholics to the British Empire’s struggle in the First World War I, the federal Liberal government of Robert Menzies in 1936 ordered that all state governments were to give adequate funding to Catholic schools. This saw a lasting alliance between the Catholic Church and the Liberal party, the party of the ruling class, which lasted well into the 1990s. In 1956 the alliance between the Catholic Church and the Liberal party came to head. The Church was concerned about the poor conditions of workers in unskilled jobs. As a result of internal divisions the Catholics formed the Democratic Labour Party. It kept the Australian Labor Party out of government for over two decades. ……CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
