With the Children s Royal Commission some years ago I could not help but be reminded of a previous encounter - the Sydney Morning Herald ran an opinion piece a few years ago by Anthony Achroyd titled Catholic brand appeals Pell s priority . This idea that the brand needs to be protected above all else interests many of us.
Achroyd provides his readers with something of a history of Roman Catholicism s less than charitable moments (40 years ago I earned First Class Honours in Church History and the Theological Prize for my seminary year way-back-whenever) - and Achroyd spells it out as it was – it was nasty business. (As a matter of interest, last year Archbishop George Pell was cleared of all charges by the High Court of Australia 9-0).

Fr. Tolton’s cause gains attention
QUINCY The Quincy
Herald-Whig reports that dozens of area Catholics gathered on the afternoon of July 9 at the town’s St. Peter Church to commemorate the passing of the Father
“For the fifth year, those gathered had a welcome and a prayer before walking up Maine Street to 33rd Street and then to the St. Peter Cemetery on Broadway where Father Tolton is buried.
“The Rev. Daren Zehnle from Ashland led the procession. He said this commemoration is an opportunity to reflect on the life of Tolton and try to emulate America’s first recognized black priest.
