This blog offers an Australian perspective on faith, religion and spirituality. It invites you to join the joys and hope, the grief and anguish of a middle aged Aussie Catholic. The material reflects my interest in global as well as local issues.My perspective is probably more quirky than orthodox.

Bishop Geoffrey Robinson exposes the Angry God Syndrome
It isn't often that a Catholic Bishop will call for the Catholic Church to undergo a paradigm shift. In this video Bishop Geoffrey Robinson also calls for a change to the ethos and mystique of priesthood.
Like the famous 12 steps, the Catholic Church must admit it has an addiction to power, bad theology and patriarchy.
Some great lines and ideas from this talk:
Bella Figura
Creeping Infallibility
Images of the "Angry God"
Celibacy
Confronting Sexual Abuse in the Church
