When the Cathedral bells swung five minutes before Mass last weekend, they seemed to know. The Ave sung with the Rosary was so mournful, you’d think someone had died. A light went out …

Where is the past? Who can tell what has happened and is gone with any precision? The past remains nowhere but in the mind of God. He cannot tell it to us in full becuse we would be unable to comprehend and it would be useless. But we need to know it for our own edification and salvation. The explanation of the past in God's Word in the Bible is word for word precisely what we need to believe in order to be saved. It would be useless and inappropirate to question it.

The man suffered courageously from outrageous false accusations. However, he was far from orthodox in his approach to Holy Scripture (I believe he has an advanced degree in Scripture). In a discussion with the infamous atheist, Richard Dawkins, +Pell answered a question from Dawkins about the account of Adam & Eve in Genesis 3.

Religious discrimination was also widespread, and the plight of native, aboriginal people was deplorable. Many of the first settlers were convicts with little education, and many were descendants of Irish Catholics, discriminated against because of their religion and place of origin. The Church had few priests to serve its people who were scattered around rural areas and experiencing poverty. Mary was the first of eight children of Catholic Scottish immigrants, Alexander MacKillop and Flora MacDonald. They imbued their children with a great love for the Church and the supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity. Their family was poor, and the father was often without work because he dabbled in business and politics. Mary, in …More
