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

Download or read book A Long Way from Rome written by Chris McGillion and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Catholics today described themselves as 'lapsed'. Despite a new hunger for meaning and community, it is clear that over the last decade the Australian Catholic Church has become a marginal influence on society. Repeated accusations of child sexual abuse by priests is taken as a sign of moral bankruptcy, the ongoing refusal to include women in more active roles has left many disenchanted, and attendance at Mass continues to decline. Leading commentators including Morag Fraser, Paul Collins and Damian Grace explore the crisis at the heart of Australian Catholicism. They offer a confronting analysis of the direction for the Church set by Rome, and the way in which this is stifling local initiative and alienating large numbers of Catholics from the institutional life of the Church. A Long Way from Home argues that the problem goes beyond the headlines of sexual abuse and internal dissent to issues of Vatican intervention, the abuse of authority, the decline of ritual, the development of a Catholic cultural ghetto, and the loss of a distinctive Catholic imagination.

Download or read book The Altar Boys written by Suzanne Smith and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boys with everything to live for ... A community betrayed ... The whistle-blower priest who paid the ultimate price **Shortlisted for the 2020 Walkley Book Award** **Shortlisted for the 2021 NSW Premier's Community and Regional History Prize** ** Shortlisted for the 2021 Prime Minister's Award** Glen Walsh and Steven Alward were childhood friends in their tight-knit working-class community in Newcastle, NSW. Both proud altar boys at the local Catholic church, they went on to attend the city's Catholic boys' high schools: Glen to Marist Brothers, Hamilton, and Steven to St Pius X. Both did well: Steven became a journalist; Glen a priest. But their lives came to be burdened by secrets kept and exposed. Glen discovered that another priest was sexually abusing boys and reported the offender to police, breaking his vows to the Catholic 'brotherhood' in the process. His decision to give evidence regarding the cover-up of clerical abuse at a landmark trial ended in tragedy. Meanwhile, Steven was fighting his own battle to overcome a traumatic past, a battle that also ended in tragedy. Ensuing investigations revealed that at least 60 men in the region had taken their own lives. What had happened, and why were so many of those men from the three Catholic high schools in the area? By six-time Walkley Award-winning investigative reporter Suzanne Smith and shortlisted for the 2020 Walkley Book Award, The Altar Boys is the explosive expose of widespread and organised clerical abuse of children in one Australian city, and how the cover-up in the Catholic Church in Australia extended from parish priests to every echelon of the organisation. Focusing on two childhood friends, their families and community, this gripping story is backed by secret documents, diary notes and witness accounts, and details a deliberate church strategy of using psychological warfare against witnesses in key trials involving paedophile priests.
