🗳️ The death of Pope Francis has triggered a formal nine-day mourning period. While the papacy is vacant, essential operations continue, overseen by a specific cardinal known as the Camerlengo.

Later, the conclave will begin, and 135 cardinal-electors will be sealed inside the Sistine Chapel until a new Pope is chosen.

Archbishop Christopher Prowse explains what is to come.

News stories: 1. The Australian Catholic Bishops

News stories:

1. The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference has called for a 4.5 per cent rise in the national minimum wage.

Such a move would increase the national minimum wage by $41.20 a week, from $915.90 to $957.10 a week. The hourly rate would rise from $24.10 to $25.20.

2. The Catholic Alliance for People Seeking Asylum is calling for urgent intervention from the Federal Government to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all people seeking refuge and asylum in Australia.

CAPSA has made the call ahead of Palm Sunday on April 13, when rallies will be held across Australia, to draw attention to the difficult situation for many refugees and people seeking asylum.

‘‘Policies of past and present federal governments have undermined the rights, safety and wellbeing of people seeking asylum in this country,” said Parramatta Bishop Vincent Long.

“The wellbeing of thousands of people continues to be affected. Seeking refuge for fear of one’s safety is a tragedy, not a crime.

3. Catholic Health Australia has welcomed Labor’s $1 billion mental health funding commitment and called for further action to ease chronic staff shortages.

“The extra 1200 training places for mental health staff are urgently needed but we must do more in the short-term to ease chronic staffing shortages which are a huge barrier to expanding care," said CHA director of health policy Katharine Bassett.

"The next government must ease restrictions on overseas-trained psychiatrists which stop them from working in cities for 10 years after they arrive in Australia. The demand for psychiatric care in metropolitan areas is soaring."

4. Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans is calling on Australians to examine their shopping baskets more closely this Easter with the “ACRATH Approved” Easter campaign.

Many chocolate products, including those found in Australian shops, are made with cocoa beans harvested by child labourers, often subjected to enslavement and hazardous working conditions.

ACRATH encouraged shoppers to explore the latest “Be Slavery Free Chocolate Scorecard” and base their purchasing decisions on company behaviours outlined in the scorecard.
