Matthew Beovich (April 1, 1896 - October 24, 1981) was an Australian Roman Catholic clergyman, and the fifth〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.adelaide.catholic.org.au/about-the-archdiocese/history )〕 Archbishop of Adelaide. == Early life == Matthew Beovich was born on April 1, 1896 in Carlton, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. Matthew was the second of the four children of Mate (or Matta) Beovich, a fruiterer born in Croatia, and Elizabeth, née Kenny, who was born in Bendigo, Victoria.〔〔Laffin 2008, p. 14.〕 He began his schooling at St George's School, Carlton before moving on to St. Joseph's Christian Brothers' College, North Melbourne as a full-time student between 1909 and 1912 when he passed the Senior Public Service examination. His contemporaries at the same school were Nick McKenna and Arthur Calwell, with whom he remained friends his whole life.〔Laffin 2008, p. 20.〕 From 1912 until 1917, Beovich worked as a clerk in the Melbourne General Post Office, studying part-time and matriculating in 1913.〔Laffin 2008, p. 21.〕 He was to return to his old school on many occasions whenever his business brought him to Melbourne. In August 1917, Beovich left Melbourne for Rome to study for the priesthood.〔Laffin 2008, p. 35.〕 For the next four years, he attended the Pontifical Urban College of Propaganda, receiving prizes in physics, church history and sacramental theology.〔Laffin 2008, p. 42.〕 His thesis for his Doctorate of Divinity was a defence of the Catholic sacrament of confession.〔Laffin 2008, p. 43.〕 On August 6, 1922, Beovich was ordained as a deacon,〔Laffin 2008, p. 65.〕 and on December 22 of the same year, he was ordained a priest in the Basilica of St. John Lateran.〔Laffin 2008, p. 66.〕 After exploring Europe, he returned to Melbourne in October 1923.〔Laffin 2008, p. 71.〕 Upon his return to Australia, Beovich briefly served as an assistant priest of a parish in North Fitzroy, in what would be his only experience of suburban parochial life.〔Laffin 2008, p. 72.〕 In May 1924, he was appointed Director of Religious Instruction for the Archdiocese of Melbourne,〔 and over the next decade, Archbishop of Melbourne Daniel Mannix gradually delegated delegated all diocesan educational matters to Beovich.〔Laffin 2008, p. 76.〕 In 1932, the Catholic Education Office was established with Mannix as director and Beovich as deputy director.〔 At some point in the next four years, Beovich was elevated to director, a reflection of Mannix's limited direct involvement in the organisation.〔 Until his installation as Archbishop of Adelaide in 1940, Beovich played an important role in Victorian Catholic education, sitting on the Council of Public Education (which oversaw non-government education and advised the minister of education) from 1932,〔Laffin 2008, p. 81.〕 and authoring a new catechism for school children.〔Laffin 2008, p.89〕 In 1940, Mannix told the Adelaide clergy that Beovich had "brought about a revolution in the Catholic schools of Melbourne."〔Laffin 2008, p. 80〕 In 1925, Mannix appointed Beovich to the position of secretary of the Australian Catholic Truth Society.〔Laffin 2008, p. 92〕 He resigned this position in 1933, with Mannix citing as the reason the increased workload from his work in Catholic education and duties as the presenter of ''The Catholic Hour'', a weekly radio programme on Melbourne station 3AW.〔Laffin 2008, p. 96〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Beovich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
