This is a three-part series exploring the Catholic hierarchy’s problem with sex . . . . It’s not just the crisis of sexual abuse and cover up, which is ghastly enough. If we think back over the span of time since Vatican II, almost every divisive controversy within the Catholic Church has been about sex.

Conversations Catholics need to have
Fr Timothy is known for his views on things like homosexuality, divorce and remarriage, and the authority of women in the Catholic Church – areas in which he has pushed for open conversation and an embrace of difference – something which has earned him the description of being controversial.

I like the thought-provoking homilies/ sermons and great care from our Jesuit Community; carrying the Cross thru the “Cross” on Good Friday (powerful); happy social events and rooftop or kitchen get-togethers—all are part of this special place. And I know miracles happen here.

St Canice’s is a place of prayer, a place that sustains my faith, a place where I meet a lot of wonderful people.
The Vigano “testimony” is being discredited hour by hour
Some US bishops who, last week, suddenly professed their outrage over sex abuse as soon it seemed that it could be used to take down Francis, were, a few days before, completely quiet about the topic, even in the face of the damning Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report.
A time keep silence
pope Francis is confident that truth will vindicate him.
One commentary observed that rather than ‘accusing others and blameshifting,’ Francis ‘simply, in a very calm and dignified way, stimulated an objective and dispassionate investigation from third parties and entrusted himself to whatever the outcome may be, for he doesn’t fear truth, but rather is confident that truth will vindicate him.’
Why remain Catholic?
IT’S TIME FOR US TO FIGHT – NOT LEAVE!
“ . . . You fight by your very presence at Mass. You fight by keeping people’s feet to the fire. You fight by organizing your fellow Catholics. Fight any way you can. But you fight because you believe in the Church; you love the Church; and you realise that despite this terrible blight, it’s worth fighting for.
