Themigrantto Australiais `disadvantaged
WhenAustraliaexperiencedamassivemigrationprogrammefrom 1851to1861therewerepriestsandReligioustocareforthembut thesituationhasnotbeenthesamefortherecentperiodofmigration accordingtoastatementbytheCatholicCommissionforJusticeand Peace.
theimpactofmigration onAustraliaisthetheme studiedbyabookletreleasedforSocialJusticeSunday,September25,onbehalfoftheBishopsofAustralia.
Thestatementcitesthe factthattherecentinflux ofmigrantshasboostedthe Catholicproportionofthe populationtonearlyone third,buttheCatholic schoolsystem,forexample, hasnotbeenabletocope withthisculturallydiverse increase.
Inthelastdecade,the numberofReligiousinthe schoolshasdeclined,compoundingtheChurch'sproblems.
"Thechildrenofmigrants continuetobedisadvantaged.Objectivelythissituation isunjust,thoughthesolutionisnotobvious,"the statementsays.
Comparingthedayswhen themajorpartoftheCatholicmigrantswasIrishand couldrelatetotheIrish clergyandReligiouscominginnumbers,thestatementsaysthatthesamehas notbeentrueforothermigrantgroups.
"Themigrantchaplains oftenhaveneitherthe numbers,status,orauthori-
tyoftheparishclergy,"it says. "TothisextenttheCatholicimmigrantfromnonEnglishspeakingcountries isdisadvantaged,"itsays. Thestatementgoesonto askhowthemigrantgroups willbeabletomaintain theirspiritualheritageinthe parishoftoday.
Asolution,itissugegsted,mayariseinthebasic communitiesthatwerepromotedbyPopePaulinhis statementonEvangelisation andwhichareseenasthe answertomuchoftheimpersonalityofmodernparishes.
"Onlyfromapositionof strengthandselfconfidence canthemigrantbegintointegrateintothehostparish,"itcontinues.
Inthematterofreligious education,thestatement saysthatformationinthe schoolmustbuilduponthe religiouscultureofthe home.
"Thisinvolvesnotonly tearingprayersandhymns inone'smothertongue,but alsothebasicreligiousinstruction.
"Itisquiteunjustifthe practicesoftheparentsare ignoredorridiculedeven whenthisisdoneinignorance.Religiousdiversity

"Suchdiversitybrings hometochildrentherich varietywhichexistswithin theunityofCatholicism."
Thestatementalsolooks attheworksituationofmigrants;itpointstotheover 100languagegroupsthat areinvolved,andthisdoes notindicatetheveryuneven distributionofskillsamong them,includingthefactthat migrantsfromSouthern Europe,TurkeyandLebanonhavebeenmainlysemiskilledorunskilled.
