CONSEQUENCES OF AUSTRALIA'S EMBRACE OF ATHEISMIt might be said that Australia has lapsed into atheism rather than deliberately chosen it. But the price of liberty is eternal vigilance and the country's general attitude of laissez-faire will not cut it. more AUSTRALIA'S CATHOLIC BISHOPS ON THE COMING ELECTIONThe President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference has
released an 'Election Statement'. This is our criticism. more
ALPHA & OMEGAChrist is our beginning and our end. When the Jews asked him: 'Who art thou?' He replied: 'The Beginning...' Christ's Church makes His answer plain in her ceremony with the Easter Candle. more WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE NOVUS ORDO—PART IIIWe reproduce here a paper published in Holy Week 2019. more LICITNESS OF THE NOVUS ORDO: TWO CONTRASTING APPROACHESCanadian theologian, John Lamont, has published a paper which agrees in its conclusions with the views expressed some 20 years ago by the late theologian and canon lawyer, Fr Gregory Hesse. Here we consider their differing approaches. more THE DRUG OF UNBELIEFActions have consequences. It is remarkable how incapable the populace is of seeing the necessary effects of their embrace of the protocols of atheism. Here is the true opiate of the masses. more GOD & MAN IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESSWe know something of God's nature by what He has revealed. We can arrive, too, at some understanding of how it is that man is created in God's image and likeness. more THE SCIENCE, MORALITY & SAFETY OF VACCINESThis book by American Catholic Master of Science, Pamela Acker, ought to be compulsory reading for all in the present pandemic of irrationality over the need to undergo vaccination. more THE SEEDS OF THE CRISISMuch has been written on the state in which Australians find themselves as a result or the incompetence of governments and their bureaucrats in addressing the impact of the Corona virus. Here is an an analysis from a philosophical point of view. more AUSTRALIA'S BISHOPS' CRISIS OF LOYALTY - PART IIThere is another, and more insidious, reason why Australia's bishops moved to suppress the Statement upholding the Church's teachings in faith and morals by some 75 of their priests. (This is a revised version of the paper. It addresses some valid criticisms of its expression.) more AUSTRALIA'S BISHOPS' CRISIS OF LOYALTYMany of Australia's Catholics became aware of an initiative taken by six priests from different dioceses around the country on September 14th, 2021, to publish a statement of Catholic principle respecting the issues confronting the faithful in their care as a result of the current viral crisis. One may gather that they had been driven to the task by the signal failure of Australia's bishops to provide necessary leadership. On the morning of September 22nd, the morning, it will be recalled, when Australia suffered her biggest earthquake since settlement by the British in the 18th Century, the bishops intervened and quashed the priests' initiative. Why? more GOVERNANCE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AUSTRALIAThis is a criticism of the Response of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference to a 200 page report by a team, consisting mainly of lay people, on ‘the future governance of the Catholic Church in Australia’. It reflects not so much on the Catholic Church as on its counterfeit, ‘the Synodal church of Vatican II’, established after the close of the Council, of which our bishops are functionaries. The inability to distinguish their conduct as bishops from their conduct as functionaries of this counterfeit will lead inevitably to harm to the Church and the Catholic faithful. more
