The bishop-elect was appointed rector of the Good Shepherd Seminary in Sydney from 2009–2014 by the late Cardinal George Pell.
Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney said he was 'delighted to invite you all to our port city in 2028 ... 100 years after Sydney hosted this great event.'
The prevalence of elder abuse, along with “alarming rates of suicide amongst the vulnerable,” means that New South Wales should be “especially cautious” when it comes to legalizing euthanasia, said Archbishop Fisher.
Archbishop Fisher, who succeeded Cardinal Pell as Archbishop of Sydney in 2014, said in a statement April 7: “The cardinal has always maintained his innocence and today’s decision confirms his conviction was wrong.”
‘There is something greater than hatred and violence,’ Archbishop Anthony Fisher said. ‘There is Love, that humble, self-donative Love that comes in the shape of the Christmas Babe, the Prince of Peace.’
