25.01.2022 Friends, many of you have been writing to me with questions about a COVID-19 vaccine. This week’s announcement that a Letter of Intent has been signed between o...ur government and AstraZeneca for a vaccine raises some important ethical questions because the vaccine in question makes use of a cell line cultured from an electively aborted human foetus. Whether this vaccine is successful or not, it is important that the government does not create an ethical dilemma for people. Along with the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Australia, I have written to the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, asking the government to pursue similar arrangements for alternate vaccines that do not raise the same ethical concerns, so that Australians will have a choice when it comes to vaccination. There are currently 167 vaccines being researched, many of which do not use foetal cells in their development. It is in the best interests of the community that vaccination is widely taken up and this deadly disease defeated, and this will better be achieved if the vaccines available do not create an ethical quandary. I’ll have more to say on this in next week’s Catholic Weekly. In the interim, you might like to make your desire for an ethical vaccine known to your local MP.

18.01.2022 There's two kinds of ecumenism. Theres the tea and crumpets ecumenism that is terrified of "upsetting" the local Anglican bishop, and then there's ecumenism that is actually ordered to the unity that Christ prayed for. Guess which type we belong to?

04.01.2022 Update on masks and QR Codes at St Bede's Masks are mandatory at St Bede's. You must wear a mask at all times inside the church, unless an exemption applies. Please bring your own mask.... Sign in via the Service NSW QR Code is also now mandatory. The paper sign in sheet is to be used only in the event that someone cannot sign in with the QR Code. Due to the use of the QR Codes, we are no longer taking pre-bookings.

04.01.2022 Friends, there is still time to speak up for religious freedom in NSW, telling MPs that people of faith want to receive the same protections under anti-discrimi...nation law as everyone else. If you haven’t done so already, please register your support for the Anti-Discrimination Amendment (Religious Freedoms and Equality) Bill 2020 by clicking here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F8KFWXB and saying you support the bill. You are asked to write your own thoughts in the form, but this does need not be lengthy. It is sufficient to let our MPs know that religious freedom is important to you, and that people of faith in NSW are not asking for special treatment; we are asking for equal treatment. Submissions close this Friday, 21 August so please make your submission now!
