Book excerpt: In Australian Catholic Lives, Edmund Campion tells the stories of people from Australia's Catholic history. It is history through story rather than dates and facts, a history of people in the pews rather than popes and bishops - though there are some bishops here. Edmund Campion has been writing these stories for over forty years. Here are some seventy of them - of men and women, priests and laypeople, sinners and saints, recent and from the past. They are based on careful research, and told economically and stylishly. They present the colourful and vigorous picture that is Australia's Catholic Church. Some of the people in this book: Berenice Elphick - the Sister Kerry Packer couldn't say no to Peg Flynn - supporter of Australia's First People Maureen Flood - a contemplative living among the poor Bill Jordan - military hero, teacher, priest Margaret Moses - martyr to her work with orphans in Vietnam Giuseppe La Rosa - founder of the Italian language newspaper La Fiamma Mary Lewis - pioneer in social work Patrick O'Farrell - chronicler of Australia's Irish Catholic heritage Liz O'Neill - justice volunteer and diplomat Camille Paul - theologian and supporter of the rights of women 'Mum' Shirley Smith - Aboriginal activist for social justice Yvonne Swift - Sacre Coeur Sister and lawyer for the underworld Malcolm Williamson - Master of the Queen's Music

Book excerpt: This is a book to enliven any discussion about the Catholic Church and Australian society. Readers will profit from James Franklin's rich research in out-of-the-way corners of our history. Edmund Campion, Emeritus Professor of History Catholic Institute of Sydney The Catholic quarter of the Australian population have been driven by a unique vision of how humans fit in God's universe and of how objective ethics should inform individual and collective action. Following Jesus' command to be witnesses "to the ends of the earth", Australian Catholics have worked hard to reform their own souls and Australian society. In this wide-ranging volume, James Franklin shows how core Catholic ideas have played out and motivated action across many fields of endeavour - remote area missions, virtuous rural communities, religious life, multicultural refugee programs, Labor politics, Magdalen laundries, Catholic philosophy. He brings to life the colourful characters behind the action, like F.X. Gsell, the "Bishop with 150 wives", pugnacious immigration minister Arthur Calwell, fiery anti-Communist speaker Dr P.J. Ryan and ex-nun memoirist Cecilia Inglis. Saints and sinners, they transformed Australian society in directions it would not otherwise have moved. James Franklin is the editor of the Journal of the Australian Catholic Historical Society and an honorary professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. His books include Corrupting the Youth: A History of Philosophy in Australia, Catholic Values and Australian Realities, The Real Archbishop Mannix and The Worth of Persons: The Foundation of Ethics.

Download or read book Our Fathers written by Chris McGillion and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book shows that while many people assume they know what Catholic priests in Australia think, the reality is that the private views of priests are rarely known outside their own ranks and the small circle of their closest friends. This book, based on a survey sent to every priest working in parish ministry in Australia as well as on interviews with more than 50 priests across the country, reveals the true thoughts of priests about their vocation, their working lives, and issues confronting the church today. The results will inform, shock and challenge all Catholics. The surprising results have been published in a new book entitled 'Our Fathers: What Australian Catholic Priests Really Think About Their Lives and Their Church' by Chris McGillion and John O'Carroll. The purpose of the book is to present the views of priests working in parish ministry on a range of issues of vital interest to the Catholic church and community in Australia. Priests were asked about the nature of the priesthood itself, how the role has changed and how the changes have impacted on their status, workload and morale. They were also asked to comment on what they have come to believe about matters of life and death, heaven and hell, sin and salvation and how these beliefs correspond with the official teaching of the church. The survey was sent to 1700 priests, of which 542 responded. This was followed up by an interview process with more than 50 priests who were randomly selected and who agreed to be interviewed. The results show that many priests are sometimes at odds with official teaching of the church, even on matters such as the use of artificial birth control. More than 67 percent of respondents indicated that it was not a sin for married couples to use artificial birth control against 19.9 percent who indicated that they thought that it was always a sin, leaving 11 per cent undecided on the matter and only 2 per cent of the sample opting not to respond.
