Who Are You Really Listening To?

It’s been a while, but I’m getting back to business with my latest for The Spectator Australia.

A recent article in the Catholic Outlook, the official publication of the Diocese of Parramatta, encouraged Catholics to listen to Indigenous Australians and support the Voice to Parliament.

But how can the Diocese preach on listening to others when it seemingly cannot listen to the everyday Catholics it has been entrusted with to shepherd?

Meanwhile, the Diocese is undertaking a Synod, viewing ‘synodality’ as the answer to the ‘signs of the times’. Yet, as we’ve seen over and over and have heard from Cardinal George Pell, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and Cardinal Gerhard Muller, ‘synodality’ only allows Modernism to infect the Church.

If there’s one article you share with any Catholics, particularly those in the Diocese of Parramatta, let it be this one.

Vaccinating The Internet

Originally published 1st February 2023:

Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, one of the World Economic Forum’s key players, wants to ‘vaccinate the internet’ against ‘misinformation and disinformation’ by ushering in ‘Safety by Design’.

I’ve put together an in-depth explanation of the nefarious policy and all it entails.

I’ll let her quote speak for itself:

“I think we’re going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online.”

The Corporate Church

On By Joel AgiusIn Christianity, Culture, Politics & Society, ReligionLeave a comment

Corporate culture corrupts everything it touches.

Now, it is infecting the Catholic Church, with Catholics who are more Conservative and Traditional being pushed out by those who call themselves ‘inclusive’.

This is something I’ve been wanting to write about for a while now. And it’s incredibly important for Catholics especially to read and take into account.

The Catholic Church is becoming more of the world, and less of God. This is not how it should be. Things need to change.
