Today’s topics are about current affairs!
They focus on issues that are raised by various Catholic sources.
Enjoy! Your thoughts/feedback are very,
very welcome!
Ø
There have been some reports published yesterday
that have challenged our understanding of Australian values and ethics. So we
have chosen some reflections about issues that are confronting us.
During September our focus is on the Season of Creation.
God’s love is the fundamental moving force in all created things.” Pope
Francis.
Uncle Bob Randall, a Yankunytjatjara elder and traditional owner of Uluru,
explains how an awareness of the connectedness of every living thing, calls us
to be responsible and care for the land with unconditional love and
responsibility. View the video – The Land Owns Us
Ø Did
you know that the Australian government is planning to have a nuclear waste
dump in South Australia?
South Australians have not been consulted. The traditional owners of the area
have not been listed to.
Sr Michele Madigan summarises the latest developments. We urge you to read
this. The
federal nuclear dump is a national issue
Ø Another
issue that confronts us is the case of a Sri Lankan refugee who has now been in detention for 11 years!
Sr Elizabeth Young. A South Australian Sister of Mercy has been involved in
this case.

Sister calls for release of Sri Lankan refugee
These are
real world stories challenging us just as much as the parables of Jesus. How
would Jesus react to these issues?
