Hello Christians,
Why is Mister Morris banging on the prison door wanting to be re-emitted? Or am I too engrossed in the “melbourne mentality” to see the obvious? Yes, Tim is correct the Death of Christianity is entirely due to the collective thinking of our insignificant city – most of us who live here prefer to be somewhere else. Revolutions in science and technology, the Age of Reason and the twentieth century collective suicide attempt by Western humanity have of course nothing to do with the creditability problems of the Jesus Story. Getting back to Mister Morris: how much pulpit preaching did he do on the Book of Exodus? Or the Book of Job or any of the other transformation stories of ancient times. Why did he not understand them? Maybe he was too busy preaching.
Love Fosco

This is the correct reference needing to be footnoted with the above SME post?

Please let me know if it isn’t .. by other means than posting here, i.e. email, John. No comment on “Love Fosco”.. there was substantial “blogging” on this site 2009-2010, which has since tailed off. Discussion on issues such as the above, new missal etc, occur elsewhere for SME / St Mary’s members – not for about 18 months now on this site. The SME postings are still of interest though as always (as were the many quality homilies of 1980s-now), but SME and St Mary’s members have moved on. We’ve moved on to a more local issue in particular, i.e. if and when the opportunity arrives, how St Mary’s and former St Mary’s members can deal with their shared history.
