Australia Day

As the Australia Day website proudly proclaims:
Celebrate what's great!
We are certainly a very lucky country to be as well off as we are.
The latest studies show that the average Australian is wealthier than the average citizen from any other country!
How much of that wealth comes at the cost of extreme poverty in other nations?
Catholic bishops have released statements at this time to reflect on an issue that shames us. 
Bishops call for humane approach toward asylum seekers

Where The Hell Is God

Rev Dr Richard Leonard SJ wrote this book as a result of the experiences and attitudes that he has met following the accident that resulted in his sister becoming a quadriplegic at age 28.
