Saint who??

Ok. Great. An Australian has been recognised for dedicating her life to others. This is an amazing thing and a first for this country. I don’t won’t to detract from this. Congratulations Mary McKillop. What bugs me about this is that Australian society has no other way of acknowledging people that reach this life long high level of service to others than though religion, and even worse through the same denomination that has serious questions to answer in terms of paedophilia and contraception. This being the Catholic Church.

Why is it that this organisation, which mind you is the richest and most power political power on earth, feels that it has some kind of recognised say over who is (when you break it down) a good person and who is not.

Over the past 2 decades we are reminded again and again of priests, community leaders of this church, taking advantage of their positions of power by sexually abusing small children. Why this happens?? Who knows but, it seems to be a pattern unique to the Catholic Church. Yet it is the same organisation that today has been in the media all over Australia telling who we are to consider to be a Saint or someone who god thinks is a bit more heavenly than us. Let’s look at this from another perspective people. It’s like the Former CEO of David Jones deciding who will be the Equal Opportunity Commissioner. Quite plainly, this doesn’t seem right.
