Comment on St Mary’s Annual General Meeting Nov 18 2012 by James

Sad to read about all this optimism, good will and enthusiasm in a branch that has severed itself from the Vine and cannot survive in the long term. You speak with grudging respect about Mark Coleridge but it doesn’t matter whether you think he is a decent bloke or not – the fact is that he is the representative of the Apostolic succession, and Jesus chose to transmit the sacramental life of the church through this succession, regardless of the human characteristics of the men who form part of it. Your leader has in public expressed doubts about the divinity of Jesus and the real presence in the Eucharist – why don’t you just go the whole way and form your own sect in name as well as in fact? how do you feel about the young Catholics many from an immigrant tradition who are loyally and faithfully supporting the church you deserted? Does your professed goodwill extend up the road to these too? Or will you continue with your holier than thou, we know better approach?

Hello Christians,

Fosco Antonio here! Hope you all had a happy New Year. Now that we know that Rabbi Jesus wasn’t born in December, “Christmas Day” can go back to the Roman gods. Maybe we could call it “Old Year’s Day”. Maybe we could then burn all our possessions and start the new year afresh.
Pilgrims do that sort of stuff but it is only symbolism. The journey reaches it’s point of definition only when one hears the silent inner voice murmur “I am dead to myself”. It’s all only tourism before then.

Love Fosco

Dear Peter,

Pleased take the time to read my article on this web site. It is based

Really Rob? With all that learning of yours, are you seriously trying to tell us that you have no idea why Peter Kennedy could not remain in the role of a Catholic parish priest? The only mystery in all of it is why he would fight tooth and nail to continue to be a priest of a religion that, in his own words, he believed to be built on a lie.

Comment on A review by Noel Preston of The Pope’s War by Robert Moore

Robert Moore — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 05:35:25 +0000

A great book . . . as one who grew up admiring the Church of Rome . . . but no longer! . . . it is (largely) through reading the writings and the recorded workshops of Matthew Fox that I came to a new and more adult perspective on faith . . . which includes the principle that NO institution or individual possesses absolute truth, and that it is utter arrogance to make such a claim.

However, this review by Noel Preston gives a really good sense of what Matthew Fox is about . . . I would also commend Fox’s autobiography “Confessions” written at the time of his leaving the Roman Church. His writings are liberating for the reader (and I suspect, for Fox himself in the actual writing). I found them to be liberating for the reader from the man-made guilt and list of “shoulds” that many of us grew up with.

But even more than his writings are recorded versions of his workshops . . . you can hear the passion in his voice, and, as much as what he says, it is the earnest passion in his voice that stays with you long after.

Hi Ingerid
I too have walked part of the Camino De Santiago, I traveled with a group of thirteen from Harvest Travel in Oct.2006. It was a wonderful spiritual event wich has remained with me throughout the past few years. as you say we learn to understand the meaning of letting go of some of the unnessesery thingss in our lives I would loved to have heard your talk, but I live on the Gold Coast and dont get up to Peter Kennedys as ofton as I would like, however I am going tomorrow night, so maybe I will see you then.

God Bless

Ingerid.
Thankyou for your insights and sharing. They have been important to me and my family. (I have shared your great sermon with others). It has been especially helpful for a couple who are shut-ins. Failure to attend Community events (Mass, Christmas celebrations etc.) had led them to see their life as failure and your words and insights have helped them to see their own special journey (Pilgrimage).
What joy you have brought us.
Thanks
Carmel

I was so sorry to have missed Ingerid’s homily because we were away but to have pondered it now from the website has allowed me to really savour it. Thank you for the sharing and the challenges Ingerid. I have been really moved by the reflection your words have afforded
