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 Beyond Belief written by Hugh Mackay and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do people actually mean when they say 'God'? Around two-thirds of us say we believe in God or some 'higher power', but fewer than one in ten Australians attend church weekly. In Beyond Belief, Hugh Mackay presents this discrepancy as one of the great unexamined topics of our time. He argues that while our attachment to a traditional idea of God may be waning, our desire for a life of meaning remains as strong as ever. Mackay interviews dozens of Australians representing many different points on the spectrum of faith, including some who are part of the emerging 'spiritual but not religious' movement. He exposes the deep vein of ambivalence about religion that runs through our society: we may not actively worship, but we still like to see local churches operating in our midst, and we use 'our' church to marry, christen our babies, educate our children and commemorate our dead. He points out some uncomfortable truths, such as our tendency to call on God only in a crisis, and unpacks our human need for 'answers', even when science can't find them. He endorses the Christian ideal of the good life - a life lived for others - but acknowledges that there are many pathways to that same goal, not all of them religious. Written with all the insight and compassion we have come to expect of our leading chronicler of Australian life, Beyond Belief is an engrossing exploration of the ways we find spiritual fulfilment in an avowedly secular age.
