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.

The Corporate Church

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.

A new age of Christian persecution is upon us. But this time, the persecution is coming from leaders of so-called Christian countries. Andrew Thorburn was a symptom of a much larger issue occurring throughout society.

And while Daniel Andrews may claim to be Catholic, there is nothing Catholic about the way he acts.

Australia’s Catholic Church: Politics, Paganism And Pandering

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

Two weeks ago, the Plenary Council met in Sydney for the second time, and quickly descended into radical activism.

The lack of courage from those who should be defending the faith was palpable as Bishops voted in favour of incorporating pagan symbols and rituals into the liturgy.

There were only two who voted against it.

TNT Radio Interview With Rick Munn – 18/4/22

If you missed my latest appearance on TNT Radio’s Locked and Loaded with Rick Munn, here it is (albeit, I’ve uploaded it a little late, but it’s still relevant). This time we chatted about how politicians are using the Christian faith as a platform to appeal to religious voters, a bit about the Covid vaxxes and adverse effects, including the difference between science and “The Science,” and why it is important to live out our faith values, not just preach them.
