Controversy over Papal address to the Curia

31/12/08 17:36 Category: Parish Priest
There has been a great deal of outrage in the press of late over Pope Benedict’s address to the Roman Curia. Judge for yourself - the address is available in Italian or German on the Vatican web site or you can read an English version done by Bishop Michael Campbell.

Thank you

28/12/08 08:38 Category: Parish Priest
to all who worked so hard to make the church ready for our Christmas Masses. Thanks too to those who performed various ministries at Mass. We had a good turnout at all the Masses, including the resurrected Midnight Mass and I think we celebrated the Feast of the Lord’s Birth well.

Facts on asylum-seekers

23/12/08 16:30 Category: Parish Priest
As we celebrate the birth of Christ and gaze at the Christ-child lying in a manger, we remember that there are thousands of people all over the world living in precarious situations. There are two interesting reports issued by the UNHCR on asylum numbers which help place the situation in some perspective. Some politicians talk as if Australia were being overrun by asylum-seekers - they do not speak the truth and I fear are trying to prey on fear. One report is on trends in industrialized countries, the second presents up-to-date statistics.

Avery Cardinal Dulles SJ

I have just read of the death of Avery Dulles SJ. Dulles was an exceptional theologian - I can still remember the impact his Models of the Church had on me in seminary. I was privileged to be present when Pope John Paul II created him a cardinal. You can read some of his articles for America online. May he rest in peace.
