We are called to live what we claim to believe in.

Just a few thoughts

·       Australia destroys its reputation as the land of the “Fair Go, Mate”

·       I wonder how many voters did actually bother to read the Uluru Statement From The Heart.

·       The big handicap facing the YES case was the information booklet that every household received before the referendum day. It contained the explanation for the YES case and for the NO case! It was legal for those statements to contain lies and misinformation!
The statements were FACT CHECKED by independent experts. They determined that the YES case contained ONE line that was Questionable. The NO case contained 10 statements all of which were INCORRECT or Questionable. Did you hear or read the outcry in the media?

·       Did you hear or read our Archbishop’s intention to vote YES? Nor did we!

·       Meanwhile the Catholic Church is working hard at examining and facing the Church’s problems. So we hope to now focus on Synod news.

Reflections

ü All Good Gifts

ü Thanks for the invitation

ü Homily on the referendum. – Frank Brennan

ü Could we please take some time to reflect on the reasons why Australia failed to recognise our indigenous peoples as the First Nations People with a Voice about their future.
